The Space:

This unique apartment is situated on a corner of Old Brompton Road and one of the side streets

in South Kensington. It has high ceilings and unusually large windows opening onto a narrow

balcony that wraps around the corner. The effect is of pocket grandeur, and a decisively French

atmosphere that corresponds well with the European flavour of this part of London.

The building was built in the 1890s and has seen many changes over the years, From a double

fronted house it was subsequently converted into two shops and four flats. Being on the first

floor, this is the most spacious of these flats. As though a box at the theatre, the aspect is

towards white stucco houses across the road, and towards the South Kensington station which

is only 150 metres away.



The Neighborhood:

Albert Museum, the Science Museum and the Natural History Museum. The Royal Albert

Hall hosts a varied programme of performance and classical music, including the Proms concert

in summer months. Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park are close by. Household Cavalry

horses are exercised every morning, and normally pass at around 7.30.am.
