Southwell Gardens II, South Kensington

Description

Just a short distance from Gloucester Road Underground station and within easy reach of London’s finest museums is this charming one-bedroom London apartment. Southwell Gardens II is furnished in a relaxed yet elegant style, comfortably sleeps two guests, and provides them with a welcoming, cosy retreat in a leafy, central location.

The South Kensington and Gloucester Road areas of London are renowned for their exquisite London townhouses, constructed during the Georgian period and with that typical brilliant white frontage. Wide streets lead towards the capital’s museums, including the Natural History Museum, the Victoria & Albert and the Science Museum. Plenty of charming cafes and restaurants – especially around “South Ken” tube station – give this area a cosmopolitan atmosphere. And why not stroll across Hyde Park to Speaker’s Corner on a Sunday morning to hear lively, open-air debates about every topic under the sun?

Southwell Gardens II embraces the unique character of this part of the capital with a sophisticated blend of original features, such as the ornate cornicing fused with contemporary touches. The living area is flooded with light thanks to the large windows and decorated in a pleasing blend of soft pinks and subtle sage greens. The dining space is a cosy nook, just right for an intimate meal for two. The kitchen continues that clever balance of classic and modern with all the appliances you need, including a dishwasher, fridge-freezer and gas hob. If you prefer to eat out, a must-try is a plate of fresh rock oysters at the Bibendum Bar nearby.

The bedroom is a cosy cocoon where you can unwind after a busy day exploring the eateries and boutiques of South Kensington. It has a large king-size bed, plenty of storage, and a fresh, white ensuite with a shower. If you’re staying in London for business, Southwell Gardens II also has a private office. Your dedicated concierge can arrange additional business services and book taxis for you to ensure you get to that meeting on time.

Southwell Gardens has one last little gem – a private terrace where you can spend an evening with a cool drink, listening to the sounds of the city around you. This first-floor London apartment is the ideal choice for a solo traveller or couple who wants to immerse themselves in London life.
