Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This modern apartment offers more than a touch of luxury, not to mention its location – how often do you get to enjoy the view over the iconic Hyde Park from your windows? This is the neighbourhood of world-famous museums, like the V&A and the Natural History Museum, the Royal Albert Hall, and countless other attractions, all within easy walking distance. At the same time, you’ll feel part of an exclusive community here – historical residents of the area have included everyone from Winston Churchill to American film goddess, Ava Gardner. The apartment will greet you warmly – there is plenty of natural light here, streaming in through the large windows. Soft, comfy furnishings invite you to kick off your shoes and relax in the large living area, and the generous dining table is the perfect place for enjoying delicious home-cooked meals, which can be easily put together in the sparkling kitchen. Wake up refreshed and well-rested, courtesy of the plush, luxurious beds and bedrooms decorated in pale, muted tones. Start your day with a cup of coffee on the terrace, glancing at the park and planning your day’s excursions. Factor in the elegant bathrooms, with their spa-like feel and luxury toiletries, and we think there’s everything here you may need for a perfectly relaxed stay.

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.
