Silver Platter in Kensington, London

Silver Platter Self-Catering

With its neutral grey tones and crushed velvet armchair, this apartment blends a yesteryear elegance with modern comfort to make for a charismatic Kensington home. Look out to green views from your living room windows – there's plenty of natural light streaming into the home. The living space lives up to its illustrious surroundings too, with sleek marble tabletops, leafy monochromatic artwork and statement spotlighting. The refined seating arrangement allows for formal sit-down meals and comfy feet-up snuggles. Speaking of, settle down for a spot of bedtime reading in the calming bedrooms with a silver-to-grey colour scheme and plush headboards – both come accompanied by swanky en-suite bathrooms with luxury toiletries. Outside, there's a thriving upscale neighbourhood, tantalising fine-dine restaurants and classy bars nearby. Take a picnic to the royal Kensington Palace and its immaculate gardens, just an eight-minute walk away, or a little further to ever-popular Hyde Park. It's a well-located home within the city, that allows for a bit of breathing space far from the intense crowds and clamouring tourists.
