Oakley Street XII, Chelsea

Description

One word sums up Oakley Street XII – sophisticated. This cosy apartment in the perennially trendy borough of Chelsea has a delightful interior with one exquisite bedroom, making it the ideal city break base for a couple or a solo business traveller. Charmingly decorated and with large windows that let the light flood in, it’s a restful escape from the hustle and bustle of London.

Once known for its bold fashionistas, the birthplace of Punk, and the place to be seen on a Saturday afternoon, Chelsea has now transitioned back into a refined, elegant borough. It’s a place where you can find a quiet café or restaurant for a leisurely brunch before heading into nearby South Kensington for some boutique shopping or perusing the art galleries and antiques emporiums of Fulham Road and Sloane Square.

Oakley Street XII uses subtle design motifs to create a calming, tranquil space. Every element of this luxury apartment in London flows effortlessly, using neutral colours carefully accented with bespoke artwork. The open-plan living area and kitchen are carefully laid out to create a sensation of space and light, with a distinctly Scandinavian minimalist feel to it. The well-appointed kitchen is stocked with the latest high-end appliances, with a tiled splashback that gives off a distinctive New York loft apartment feel.

The bedroom continues the use of soft tones and understated styling, with a cosy king-size bed and a large window that gives it a bright and airy ambience; the bathroom has an indulgent soak tub and integrated shower.

Oakley Street XII is exactly what a solo traveller or couple want in the quintessential London apartment. Step outside the door, and you’re immediately immersed in the culture and energy of Chelsea, yet the interior of the apartment is utterly peaceful. Transport links to the rest of London, including the City and financial districts to the east, are close by, and a walk across Chelsea Bridge takes you to one of London’s best parks and the Battersea Arts Centre.
