Hyde Park Chic I

Just around the corner from where Winston Churchill once lived and overlooking the greenery of Hyde Park, this serviced apartment is a lovely little haven for friends looking to have a London getaway, or a family hoping to take in the museums of South Ken. Safe, exclusive, and comfortable, nobody will ever call Kensington the party 'hood of London, but you're within easy reach of public transport and it's a shopper's delight with High Street Kensington only five minutes walk away.

Home truths:
* As this is a serviced apartment, rather than a home, it's definitely got more of a corporate feel - if you're looking for traditional homeyness, this might not do the trick
* The ventilator in the bathroom is slightly noisy
* When the balcony door is open, there is some street noise as the bedroom faces out onto the main road
* Children under 6 stay free of charge
