Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This tastefully decorated home caters to all your needs while you're in London, from stunning chandeliers that hang from the ceiling to classic accents that transport you back in time. But don't worry, there are still contemporary elements throughout, including the modern kitchen where you can relax with a drink on the island and converse with friends. Step through the French doors onto the balcony to hear the singing of birds as you enjoy your morning coffee complimented by the brisk air. Even better, you also have the courtyard downstairs to enjoy too, for dining alfresco. Located in Kensington and only a short distance from Hyde Park, offering the ideal amount of greenery for a relaxing bike ride through the park – you might even catch an event. When going on a shopping spree, head to Oxford Street to visit Selfridges, or even take a stroll along South Bank for a soothing river walk instead. When you're tired from all the walking, find a five-star restaurant to round off the perfect day – one with a view, of course.

Local guide
About Kensington
Affluent and incredibly central, Kensington is a great base for exploring London on foot. Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park are on your doorstep and so are the Victoria and Albert, Science, and Natural History Museums. The streets are attractive and well maintained (grand, white stucco facades aplenty) and your neighbours will be a wealthy, conservative set. Lots of positives but probably not the place to let your hair down.
