This swish, modern apartment sits on a picture-perfect shopping street buzzing with elegant boutiques, luxury shops and fashion houses. You’re in the well-heeled Mayfair neighbourhood, with the likes of Selfridges a five-minute walk away, and a litany of fine-dining restaurants, swanky bars and cafés on your doorstep. There’s little reason to leave your iconic London locale, but the Bond Street underground station a two-minute walk away puts the rest of the city at your fingertips.

Hidden behind a pretty Georgian facade of honey-hued stone and sash windows, this apartment is a vision of modernity inside. Crisp white walls and stone-grey minimalism are the name of the game, with a built-in fireplace to keep things cosy in the living room. A wall of sash windows let the natural light stream in during the day and the long dining table makes for a sunny spot for breakfast. There’s plenty of prep space in the kitchen, courtesy of a central island. Both bedrooms are spacious and make for a sound sleep in neutral tones.
