Situated in a neoclassical-style building in London’s affluent South Kensington, this apartment places you in reaching distance of some of the city’s cultural heavyweights. The Museum District, home to the Natural History, Science, and Victoria and Albert collections, is no more than a ten-minute walk away. For picnics or crisp morning strolls, Hyde Park is a fifteen-minute walk up the road. Nip into Chelsea to sample upscale eateries and flash cocktail bars – you’ll reach the King’s Road in less than twenty minutes by foot. At home, an L shaped sofa demands a moment to yourself with the newspaper and a cup of tea. If you enjoy flexing your culinary skills, there’s a fully equipped kitchen with up-to-date appliances. When it’s time to rest your head, snuggle up in cosy bedrooms with bespoke Italian furniture and supremely comfortable beds.
