Trip The Light Fantastic

Trip The Light Fantastic: Greater London

Concealed behind one of Kensington’s emblematic Victorian red-brick buildings, a world of funky designer comfort waits to ease you into blissful city living. From its living room’s huge bay windows giving way to garden views to its hot pink armchairs, colourful abstract art and jazzy pendant lighting, you’ll feel transported into a retro-modern world of fun and relaxation. Spend quiet mornings playing board games in this light-filled space or catch up on work at the bedrooms’ respective mezzanine studies. We’re not strictly suggesting you stay in bed all day, but you could very easily do so with the rooms’ high-spec TVs boasting DVD players and X Box game consoles, not to mention their show-stopping decor that will have your eyes pinballing in every direction. With a fire-engine red kitchen that has everything from a blender to a rice maker to whip of a feast, as well as the master en-suite's Jacuzzi tub to retreat to in the evenings with a glass of bubbly, there’s no end to the enjoyment to be had here. That said, when you are ready to venture outside, you’ll find countless cultural sights of interest right on your front door. Take an afternoon to explore South Kensington’s world-class museums (the Natural History Museum is a four-minute walk away), stroll through leafy Hyde Park (fourteen minutes away on foot) and indulge in some retail therapy at Knightsbridge’s famous Harrods department store (a fifteen-minute walk). With myriad cafes, restaurants and shops in your neighbourhood to discover too, you couldn’t be better placed to experience London in style.
