The Space:
High-speed Internet, Private patio, No shared spaces. Stylish 1 bedroom apartment is the perfect base when visiting London. Conveniently located in the charming area of Barons Court, and with great transport links, you’ll be right in the hub of the city but able to escape the hustle and bustle! My apartment has been completely newly designed and refurnished by a local interior designer. My place is on a quiet gentrified road with access to the food markets and vegan restaurants of North End road. It is 7 minutes walk to both Barons Court & West Kensington tube Stations.
The living area is light and airy with a classic design and lovely finishing touches. Relax on the new designer sofas, hang out, make yourself at home! It’s a welcoming and inviting space where you can kick back.
If cooking is your thing, you’re going to love spending time in the stylish, open-plan kitchen. All the appliances are easy to use - you’ll enjoy showing off your culinary skills here!
The bedroom has a super comfortable double bed. We can comfortably sleep an additional two guests on our double sofabed and there is even a third occasional bed for a fifth guest.
The apartment comes with a clothes washer, iron and ironing board, so that you can look fresh for exploring the city or for any business meetings! A baby cot can be provided upon request.
With fresh luxury linens, what more do you need for a good night’s sleep?

Guest Access:
Guests will have access to the entire property and full length balcony. Lift from ground floor direct to apartment on third floor.
The Neighborhood:
located towards the west of the city. If you are flying into Heathrow, then the flat is very easy to get to - just hop on the Piccadilly line at the airport and within 35 mins you will be at Barons Court station.
The area is residential but also close to London great exhibition centre - the Kensington Olympia, both walking distance from the flat.
Of course not everything is about business here as there many excellent pubs and restaurants where you can unwind and relax! Curtain Up is a cracking local boozer located around the corner from the flat. They serve lovely ales and great food all day long.
North End Road as a selection of small and inexpensive cafes and restaurants. Cafe Continente was voted the best and they serve a full English breakfast here. C'est Ici is another cafe where you can pick up some coffee before setting out for sightseeing. 222 Vegan offers award winning vegan food on north end road and the markets are a traditionally unique experience a little further up.
Smith's Cocktail Lounge, hidden under Brook Green Hotel is a fun place to go for a late night drink and feels a little like a speak easy as its hidden down the stone steps. Captain Cook has lots of different ales/drinks with a very British feel.
Kanna Thai serves amazing Thai food. Kerbisher and Malt is an award winning fish and chip shop at the bottom of Brook Green. Colton Arms just around the corner is a really traditional English pub and also does amazing food.
There are two laundrettes in the immediate vicinity.
Tinto is a traditional cafe piled high with cakes, pastries and chalk board with daily specials and every type of coffee you can think of. On the corner with outside seating. Parparellu is a lovely cafe serving traditional pastries, food and good coffee with a Maltese twist.
Supermarkets: There is a huge Tesco between Baron's Court and Earls Court with free parking. On North End Road there is a Little Waitrose and Tesco Express just 5 mins walk away near West Kensington station.
Brook Green is a long shaded green park between the traditional townhouses of West London. Equipped with friendly spaces for dogs, cycle paths, 4 tennis courts and a big jungle gym for children. Also a great area for pubs: Queen's Head in the middle on west side of park, and Brook Green Hotel Pub.
If shopping is your thing then here is a top tip - you can get some really really nice stuff at High Street Kensington and Knightsbridge and still beat the crowds that throng Oxford Circus and Bond Street. I would high recommend going to High Street Kensington as it is much less stressful.
If you are looking for the "big" sights such as the Big Ben, Parliament and Westminster Abbey then you are lucky. The flat is a great base to get to these places. Just hop on the underground and you will be there in 15 mins.
If you are after more cerebral matters then head to South Kensington for the museums such as the Natural History and V&A. The world famous Royal Albert Hall is located here and tickets can be bought on the day of a performance early in the morning.
Getting Around:
Barons Court is a 24hr tube station is just a 7 minute walk away from the apartment. This connects you to both the Piccadilly and District lines so you can get to the famous Piccadilly Circus in only 16 minutes and Westminster in 18! West Kensington station is also 7 minutes away on District line. Exploring London could hardly be easier.
