The flat is just five minutes walk from Gloucester Road and South Kensington Tube stations which are on the Circle, District and Piccadilly Lines (which serves Heathrow Airport). It is perfectly located for events at the Royal Albert Hall, V&A, Natural history Museum as well as shopping in Kensington and Chelsea. All Flat Minimum. Set in an Edwardian townhouse in the heart of South Kensington, the flat is only steps away from the Natural History Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum. The Gloucester Road and South Kensington Tube stations are a 5-minute walk away. Yes South Kensington station and Gloucester station are both 5/6 min walk from the flat. Buses & Taxis & Ubers are highly available to all destinations as well. An amazing location, being able to see one of the greatest museums and buildings in London from your living room truly is a rare privilege. You can even use a little balcony to sit outside and sip from a glass of wine while you watch the world passing by at a fast pace. Not only it's an extremely convenient location but it’s also a very quintessentially beautiful street and building. You can feel nobility the moment you enter and there is no doubt those high ceilings and large areas provide a rare sense of space in London. The furniture is made of beautiful (and some custom made) design classical pieces, this is when it starts getting luxurious, the main bed is also bigger than the average and they all have an incredible feel to it. The entertainment is fantastic and the kitchen comes with all the modern appliances you might need. It’s a complete apartment and there are many special aspects to it. The space fits 5 people, the fifth person can sleep in the living room on the sofa, it’s super comfortable.
