Picnic in the Park

Picnic in the Park: Greater London

This West London bolthole has a relaxed, yet super contemporary style that we think will appeal to many. The excellent location in Bayswater means you’ll have some of London’s best spots on your doorstep, with Hyde Park and Kensington Palace just a few minutes' walk. Or vibrant Notting Hill and scenic Little Venice are approximately twenty minutes on foot. While, with Bayswater station just a four-minute walk, West London's bougiest boutiques and grandest department stores are less than twenty minutes by tube. Back inside the home, we particularly loved the living space, with its deep-blue, mid-century sofa, unique armchair and abstract prints. The period antique chest of draws and Persian-style rug add a slice of old-world gravitas to the modern charm. The high ceilings throughout the home are a nice feature and make every room feel larger than its footprint, while the shower in the master bathroom is large enough to get lost in should you be unfortunate enough to get shampoo in your eyes.
