You’ll find this homely apartment tucked away in a quiet pocket of South Kensington, just a fifteen-minute walk from the Victoria and Albert, Natural History and Science Museums. Nip across to Chelsea for swanky boutiques and see-and-be-seen restaurants on the King’s Road, less than a fifteen-minute stroll away. If you need to head into central, catch the tube from Gloucester Road to arrive at St James’s Park tube stop in twelve minutes. After a busy day exploring the capital return to your abode and get cosy on the couch. The palette of cream and taupe maintains a tranquil ambience and the gallery wall adds a touch of personality. Pour a drink at the bar cart and take your tipple outside to your private garden. And when it’s time to get some rest, quiet bedrooms guarantee a deep, peaceful sleep.
