TENNYSON HOUSE AT CULFORD GARDENS
Located in Culford Gardens just off Sloane Square, this tastefully furnished apartment is located in a red brick building on a quiet road behind the well-known Peter Jones Department Store.
The apartment is purpose built onto the red brick facade of an elegant, Georgian building. The apartment is light and airy and is carpeted throughout. The building has excellent security arrangements with an external camera surveillance system, individual video entry-phones and a resident porter.
At the end of the hallway is a well proportioned reception and dining room which faces south. The room is bright, airy and sunny. The windows overlook a small garden to the rear of the building.

Stylish Elegance Amidst Gardens, Galleries & Shops of Chelsea
Year Purchased: 1990
Why the Owner Chose Kensington & Chelsea
I bought the apartment in 1990 and completely refurbished it in 2007. The Sloane Square area was a natural choice for me because of the "buzz" that personifies Sloane Square and The King's Road.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
Since I first bought the flat, things have only got better. The recent development of The Duke of York Barracks has brought many interesting shops and charming restaurants to the area. I love to take walks around the vicinity as there are parks and gardens in abundance close by.
Another advantage of living at the apartment is that transport to the rest of London is so easy by tube (from Sloane Square Tube Station). There are also multiple bus routes which converge at Sloane Square.
I am delighted to be able to share this lovely property with visitors to London. My guests so far have told me what they enjoyed the most was the liveliness of the area and the tranquility and coziness of my London home.
In addition to the charm of the apartment, lovely surroundings and the convenience of living at Sloane Square, you can be assured that you will be well taken care of during your stay in London. The property is managed by a very competent manager who will ensure that your visit is stress free from the moment you step off your flight until the moment you are on your way home.
