Sketching the City

Housed in a beautiful Victorian building, this bright apartment boasts elegance in spades – and not just because of its swish Mayfair locale.

Inside, wood floors, a sophisticated neutral palette and carefully curated contemporary decor come together in perfect harmony to create a wonderfully designed space you’ll relish coming home to. We love the sociable open-plan layout of the main living area where a fireplace-facing sofa invites you to kick back and relax with a glass of wine, and where a window-adjacent dining area beckons chic soirées when you’re not out sampling Central London’s fine dining scene.

The two bedrooms, meanwhile, are pared-back spaces in which you’ll have no trouble finding a restful night’s sleep, and with a pair of modern bathrooms to boot, mornings are guaranteed to get off to a leisurely start.

When it comes to sightseeing nearby you’re spoilt for choice. Take an afternoon stroll through leafy Hyde Park (a three-minute walk), go shopping on bustling Oxford Street (a six-minute walk) and discover Soho’s eclectic entertainment (a twenty-minute walk). You’re also a twenty-minute stroll from the Royal Academy of Arts, while Buckingham Palace is twenty-five minutes away on foot.
