Ruby & Cream

One minute from Hyde Park, this sleek apartment boasts a top-notch location in the heart of London. The nearest Tube station is moments away, as are the cafes and shops on Kensington High Street. Prefer something more cultural? The V&A, Natural History Museum, and Harrods are ten minutes on foot. Back home, the open-plan living area has space for everyone to unwind together, while the glossy kitchen is stocked with all the necessities. With two bedrooms and bathrooms, we think it's the ideal city retreat for friends, couples, and small families.
