Break of Day

Break of Day: Greater London

Located on a peaceful Kensington street, this Victorian home has everything you need for a comfortable stay in London. This place is ideal for those wanting to stay out of the hustle and bustle of the Big Smoke, but close enough to easily see all of the sights.

From the moment you arrive, you'll feel at home. A hallway takes you through to the living space, complete with a Turkish rug and an L-shaped sofa for optimum cosiness. The perfect spot for an afternoon nap before taking the city by storm. The dining space is sleek and modern, with neutral colours that are punctuated by colourful artwork and decor. It's a cheerful space, we can just picture home-cooked dinners and competitive board games around the table.

You're just a ten-minute walk away from West Brompton Underground, and on the tube, you have the whole city at your fingertips. But you don't have to go far to experience London life. You're surrounded by charming leafy streets and in just under half an hour's stroll, you can reach the gorgeous Holland Park. The perfect picnic spot. Kensington High Street is a half an hour's walk away too, where you can explore the museums, sip coffee around the bistro tables, and get carried away in the boutiques. Come nighttime, why catch dinner and a show in the buzzing Hammersmith? It's just a twenty-minute walk away and there's always something going on at Hammersmith Apollo. Plus, the area boasts tasteful riverside restaurants and artsy cocktail bars – an ideal evening in the city.
