Clock of the Heart

Housed in a grand period building in chic Marylebone, this home is a five-minute walk to Crawford Street, where you'll find delis, florists and design stores, as well as smart cafes and restaurants. It's the same distance to the local casino if you fancy a flutter. Just one minute more will take you to The Wallace Collection, while Marylebone Farmers' Market is a ten-minute stroll. It's an eleven-minute amble over to Selfridges on Oxford Street, too, so this home is perfect for shopaholics. The embassies of Switzerland and Sweden, on the other hand, are four minutes on foot if you're here on business.

After a busy day in London, relax on the plush, velvet chesterfield-style sofa in the elegant living room and leaf through one of the design books here. We love this room with its dark grey hues, enlivened by royal blues. There are gorgeous herringbone parquet floors throughout too. This home is perfect for a couple, solo traveller or business professional looking for a stylish retreat in one of London's most desired neighbourhoods.
