The Right Profile: Greater London

Follow in Joe Strummer's bovver-booted footsteps while staying at this chic and sophisticated top-floor flat in London's sought-after Ladbroke Grove neighbourhood. While The Clash might have mythologised its mean streets back in the late 70s, today it's better known for its colourful houses, tree-lined boulevards and vibrant atmosphere that's popular with locals and tourists alike.

The area is home to a mix of independent shops, trendy cafes, and delicious international restaurants, making it a food lover's paradise. One of the most famous local landmarks is the iconic Portobello Road Market, a stone's throw from your front door. It's a must-visit destination for anyone interested in antiques, vintage clothing, and unique trinkets. The neighbourhood also offers plenty of green spaces, including the beautiful Kensington Memorial Park and the tranquil Ladbroke Square Garden.

As you enter the flat, you're greeted with an open-plan kitchen and dining area that boasts an expansive skylight, allowing an abundance of natural light to flood the space. Elsewhere, the bedrooms are all generously sized and offer a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city, thanks to the soothing sage green, tranquil blue, and vibrant yellow colour schemes in each of the rooms.

Home truths:
*Child-friendly amenities such as a cot are available *There's a dedicated workspace in one of the bedrooms *Check yourself in on arrival with the keypad *Given the location, some street noise is to be expected *This top-floor flat is accessible via stairs only, so it may not be suitable for those with more limited mobility *There's a seating area in the kitchen/dining area, but the home lacks a sitting room *At full capacity, six guests will be sharing one bathroom – you might need to draw up a morning rota
