Perks for the Parents
A relaxed base for a family vacation in the capital, just around the corner from High St Kensington. It sleeps 8. Families will enjoy retreating to this cozy home after busy days of sightseeing in the city. The bedrooms are spread over 3 floors so there’s room for grandparents, teens or a nanny to have their own space and there’s even a small garden so younger kids can get some fresh air while you make breakfast in the beautiful open plan kitchen.
Why Kids Love it
While the house doesn’t come with books or toys for kids, there is plenty of space for a large family to stay here, and families will appreciate the largely residential neighborhood. Away from the busy streets of the West End, this home is 2 minutes’ walk from the local playground. It’s also just a 15-minute walk to beautiful Holland Park, which boasts adventure playgrounds, sports courts and The Design Museum. Teens can jump on the underground and head to Westfield (15 minutes) for shopping, cinemas and eateries.
Things to Know

The entrance hallway in this home is narrow, should you be traveling with oversized luggage.
About the Location
The house is located in a residential area, close to West Kensington, Barons Court and Kensington Olympia underground stations (all less than 10 minutes’ walk). It’s a couple of blocks from Kensington High Street, a bustling hub with cafés and restaurants, not to mention plenty of opportunities for a spot of retail therapy. This part of London is also well-placed to explore Hyde Park and the museums at South Kensington (both less than 20 minutes away by underground). Heathrow airport is under 1 hour away by car or train.
Accommodation Details
This residence has 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, set over 4 levels with no elevator. On the lower level, you’ll find the open plan lounge and kitchen, with access to the garden. On the entrance level is bedrooms 2 and 3 (both with kingsize beds and ensuite bathrooms). The second floor is home to the primary suite, with a super kingsize bed and private bathroom with a soaking tub. The top floor houses the final fourth bedroom, complete with a kingsize bed and small bathroom - ideal for teens, older kids or a nanny.
Style Notes
Full of charm. This delightful townhouse is bursting with individuality; its bold colors and striking patterns are a visual treat. The owners have chosen traditional and charming styles to create a laid-back and welcoming atmosphere that works well for families. We love the elegant yet understated kitchen, the playful wallpaper prints in the bedrooms and the traditionally-styled classic bathrooms.

Kensington & Chelsea, London
Hyde Park, Harrods and Her Majesty
The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea has a certain cachet. It’s where you’ll find Buckingham Palace, Sloane Square, the King’s Road, Harrods and many of the most upmarket stores and areas of the city. For kids, Hyde Park is a must-do, whether you go boating on the Serpentine on summer or enjoy the kid-friendly cafés around it. It’s a central area very well connected with the rest of the city by bus and Tube.
