Welcome to your South Kensington sanctuary

Step into your home in one of London’s most elegant and historic neighbourhoods. Set within a Grade II-listed Victorian terrace on Onslow Gardens, this spacious, design-led apartment blends timeless architectural character with relaxed contemporary style.

Inside, you’ll find soaring ceilings, beautifully curated interiors, and tranquil outlooks onto a leafy internal courtyard — all just moments from the Natural History Museum, V&A, Science Museum, and Design Museum. You’re within walking distance of Hyde Park, Harrods, Knightsbridge, the Royal Albert Hall, Chelsea, and the boutiques of King’s Road — making this the perfect base for a sophisticated London escape in one of the capital’s most desirable areas.

Elegant Living & Dining Room

The expansive double reception room is framed by coffered ceilings, ornate cornicing, and an original carved stone fireplace — a postcard-perfect backdrop typical of South Kensington’s stucco-fronted terraces. From the large bay window, you'll enjoy unobstructed leafy views over Onslow Gardens, a rare privilege in central London.

The lounge area features two light beige linen sofa beds, styled with mango wood and polished steel side tables, soft overhead lighting, and warm afternoon sun that floods the space. A Smart TV provides access to all major streaming platforms — including Netflix, Apple TV, Prime Video, and Disney+ — for relaxed evenings after exploring the city.

At the opposite end, an extendable dining table comfortably seats up to eight guests, perfect for opulent dinners under the sculptural arc lamp — whether you’re entertaining friends or enjoying a candlelit meal surrounded by architectural grandeur.

We’ve also included thoughtful extras in the double reception room itself: a yoga mat for gentle morning stretches beneath the high ceilings, a curated selection of books to enjoy in the bay window light, and classic board games for cosy nights around the dining table — all designed to help you slow down and savour the space.

You’ll also enjoy superfast WiFi throughout, ideal for remote work or seamless streaming across multiple devices.

Fully Equipped Kitchen

Designed for both casual bites and indulgent dinner prep, the separate kitchen is equipped with a full suite of SMEG appliances, including a gas hob, oven, dishwasher, microwave, and a full-sized fridge/freezer. There’s also a toaster, kettle, and Nespresso machine for your morning ritual.

A small round table sits beneath a tall sash window, making this an ideal breakfast nook for two — with the morning sun warming the tiled walls and the scent of fresh coffee drifting through. Whether you’re picking up pastries from a local bakery or preparing a quiet evening meal, everything is at your fingertips in this high-spec kitchen.

Reading Nook with Courtyard View

Tucked at the rear of the home, the reading nook is one of its quiet treasures. This calming corner features a plush armchair, soft side lighting, and a handmade ceramic table beside a tall window overlooking the building’s internal courtyard. It's the perfect spot to unwind with a book, write postcards, or enjoy the stillness of a London morning as the light filters in and the city hums quietly in the distance.

Two Bedroom Suites

The two bedrooms are designed as serene retreats — equally suited for families, friends, or two to three couples on a luxury escape. Each includes its own spacious en-suite bathroom and a full-height, full-width walk-in wardrobe, located between the bedroom and bathroom for added privacy and functionality. The wardrobes provide generous hanging space and deep shelving, ideal for longer stays.

The primary suite features a super king-size four-poster bed with dual-sprung mattresses for uninterrupted rest. Large windows overlook the internal courtyard, filling the room with soft morning light. The en-suite bathroom includes a shower-over-deep soaking tub, a double vanity, and warm neutral finishes. To elevate your bathing ritual, we provide Prija luxury toiletries, scented with cedarwood, organic plant extracts, and soft amber notes — reminiscent of a boutique spa experience.

The second bedroom offers a king-size Moroccan four-poster bed with an Emma premium mattress, and its own expansive en-suite with a walk-in rainfall shower, a second soaking tub, and another double vanity. With soft lighting, excellent counter space, and more Prija bath products, it's the perfect setting for winding down after a day in Chelsea or Hyde Park.

Both suites are finished with high-quality linens, natural textures, and thoughtful design touches — creating an atmosphere of calm elegance throughout.

Guest WC

A third bathroom is located just off the hallway and includes a floating toilet, wide basin, and heated towel rail — ideal for day guests or when sharing the space with a group. A matching set of Prija hand soap and lotion completes the spa-like experience across all bathrooms. Guests have exclusive and private use of the entire apartment throughout their stay. Entry is via a secure front door within a grand stucco-fronted Victorian terrace, a quintessential feature of South Kensington’s architectural charm.
