The most elegant residential street of white stucco houses, conveniently situated a 5 minutes from the tube stations of South Kensington and Gloucester Road and close to Hyde Park.

The open plan living and dining room is spacious with view towards the Natural History Museum where not a single building blocks the view, with its large sash windows it is bright, benefiting from being on the second floor of the building.

There is a huge Walter Knoll sofa, a wooden table Leo Saarinen table big enough to seat six people comfortably and a custom made coffee table with in-built embedded white pearl.

The modern kitchen is fitted with all the amenities you'll need to dine in when not enjoying the fantastic selection of restaurants in the vicinity. These include microwave, oven, hobs and complete sets of cutlery, crockery, glasses and decanter.

The property is located on Queen’s Gate, extremely close to Hyde Park (4 minutes’ walk).
It is a 5 minutes walk to South Kensington or Gloucester Rd tube stations, which serve the District, Circle and Piccadilly lines giving very easy access to the rest of London.

A fantastic flat for a family of four! Mohammad was easy to get in touch with and was flexible with check-in times. We were able to get around London easily with two Tube stops within walking distance. The neighborhood is safe and clean; it is busy with museums, restaurants and shops, but quiet for being in the middle of the capital. We enjoyed the small balcony for coffee in the morning or a drink in the evening. The flat was clean and very comfortable and I’d highly recommend it for your stay in London.

Why they chose this property

The Flat is fantastically located just seconds from the Natural History Museum, Imperial College and in the heart of Museum district.

My flat is just five minutes walk from Gloucester Road and South Kensington Tube stations which are on the Circle, District and Piccadilly Lines (which serves Heathrow Airport). It is perfectly located for events at the Royal Albert Hall, V&A, Natural History Museum, Editor's Top Pick - Recommended
Royal College of Art, Brompton Oratory, Serpentine Gallery , Editor's Top Pick - Recommended as well as shopping in Kensington and Chelsea.

What makes this property unique

An amazing location, being able to see one of the greatest museums and buildings in London from your living room truly is a rare privilege.

You can even use a little balcony to sit outside and sip from a glass of wine while you watch the world passing by at a fast pace.

Not only it's an extremely convenient location but it’s also a very quintessentially beautiful street and building. You can feel nobility the moment you enter and there is no doubt those high ceilings and large areas provide a rare sense of space in London.

The furniture is made of beautiful (and some custom made) design classical pieces, this is when it starts getting luxurious, the main bed is also bigger than the average and they all have an incredible feel to it.

The entertainment is fantastic and the kitchen comes with all the modern appliances you might need. It’s a complete apartment and there are many special aspects to it.
