Master Curator

Found in the residential (but gently trendy) Queen’s Park neighbourhood, this is a home with real personality. Its host Hugh is a curator and designer, and that comes across through bright wallpapers and beautiful furniture. Curios also reflect his time spent travelling around the world. There’s a superb modern kitchen, but the stand-out feature is a large, plant-filled roof terrace with views of London’s chimneys. Use the nearby Queen's Park nearby Underground station to go sightseeing, then return for celebratory sunset meals.

Home truths:
*Hugh would rather not have children younger than five staying – older than that is fine
*The apartment is located on the first floor without lift access, so may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
*It's a genuine home full of personality – if you are looking for something a bit more plain, this is not it
*At the moment the wifi in the area is not as fast as in Central London
*You might hear some noise from neighbours during your stay
*Smoking is permitted outside on the terrace, but not indoors
