Let's not beat around the bush – the main reason we love this flat is the proximity to Hyde Park. It's just across the street and you can spot the entrance from the bay windows and Juliet balconies. Enjoy morning jogs and evening strolls along the leafy pathways, stopping to admire the flowers in Kensington Gardens or watch the ducks paddling in the Serpentine. There's no doubt this is an enviable spot, close to restaurants, pubs and cafes. Both Paddington Station and the lively Notting Hill are within walking distance, and with Lancaster Gate station right on your doorstep, getting around the rest of London is an easy feat. But the location – as excellent as it is – is just the cherry on top of an already delicious cake. The apartment building comes with a 24-hour concierge for any questions, as well as a sleek living space made even better with the bay windows, cosy furnishings and Sky TV. Although a little small, the galley-style kitchen has everything you need to rustle up a homecooked meal, while the three comfortable bedrooms promise a restful night's sleep. Whether you're a seasoned visitor or in London for the first time, this apartment is a winner.
