London’s Hyde Park Gate is home to several international embassies and it's easy to see why it's long been a favourite of ambassadors and aristocrats. The leafy, wide street outside really does open out onto Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park, with iconic landmarks and popular attractions nearby. Inside, this chic apartment has high ceilings, large windows and an elegant presence. The roomy, well-designed interiors speak of class and consideration, with plenty of built-in storage for a long stay, and wood tones, floral highlights and clean white lines making it relaxing to the eye. Every modern convenience is at your command in the kitchen and bathrooms – and there’s an en-suite in every bedroom. You can walk to stations at Gloucester Road or High Street Kensington in less than fifteen minutes, from where all the city is easily within reach.

Home truths:
*There's no designated parking but this is London – the public transport is brilliant
*A cot and travel cot are available for those with small children – and please note that one bedroom has a single bed only
