Boasting an unrivalled position in Kensington, this stylish apartment lives up to its swish locale with plenty of eye-catching design elements and access to a communal garden. Modern and bright, it’s got plenty of character, from its mirrored walls in the living room to its bay window dining area and marble-clad bathrooms. While you may have to contend with some noise from its central spot, we think it’s a fair price to pay for being close to so many cultural hotspots, not least of all Kensington Palace, Hyde Park and Kensington High Street.

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.
