Kensington Gem

Enjoy a stylish experience at this centrally-located home. A stones throw from Holland Park, the Design Museum, Kensington shops, restaurants and amenities. With good transport links.

The home is newly renovated and spacious for a studio, perfect for a vacation or a business trip. In addition to a comfortable bed, there is a sofa bed - ONLY available on advanced request.

The home overlooks a patio and front garden that is street facing. Warwick Gardens has a barrier that closes from 10.30pm till morning.

There are 4 stairs to access the lower ground front door, to a beautifully decorated communal corridor (shared with one flat) where you can take your shoes off comfortably sitting on a bench.

Entering the spacious private studio, there is a king size bed with new high end spring foam mattress, as well as a large sofa and double size sofa bed. The en-suite shower room is brand new and the kitchenette is equipped with a full size retro fridge freezer, over counter oven & hobs and a washer dryer.

There is a new Smart TV equipped with apps like Netflix, ready for you to login into.

Kensington & Holland Park is a wonderful residential & vibrant pocket of london. A tree lined home close to London's reknowed charming spots.

The design Museum is a couple minutes walk away, exhibiting great art & design. Holland park and the Japanese gardens is a must see for beauty and tranquility. Holland park also hosts outdoor opera and theatre - not to be missed!

Our favourite local pub, The Scarsdale Tavern, is 3/4 minutes walk away, and full of British charm with outdoor heated seating with trees. The Abingdon, another classic, and many more.

There are supermarkets within 3 minutes walk, a local small Sainsbury and huge Tesco with everything. Wholefoods is a 15 minute walk and Waitrose 7 minutes.

A 7 minute car ride away and you'll reach the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum the V&A and knightsbridge.

There is a parking space available on-site and can be booked via JustPark.

There is a bus stop at the top of the road, with great links throughout.

Over ground station, Kensington Olympia, is about 7 minutes walk away and is the best to get you to East London & Gatwick Airport.

Earls court tube, about 10 minutes walk, has District & Piccadilly line, that goes to Heathrow Airport.

Local tube stations are High street Kensington, about 10 minutes walk or a short bus ride. With Circle & District Lines.


Wishing you a great stay!

Great Location

Great location and the owner is a gem to communicate with and thoughtful. She got some items for our 18 month old. The negative thing is that the studio has humidity issue which I believe contributed to some sickness. ( stuffy nose, coughing). When we were out and about there was no issues. We did empty the humidifier everyday.
