PRIME CENTRAL LOCATION
This elegant Victorian townhouse is located in Central London Zone 1, on a quiet and very attractive posh historic residential street lined with Victorian Townhouses, offering a rare combination of calm, walkability and everyday convenience right in the heart of the city.
The townhouse comfortably accommodates up to eight guests. For larger groups of up to ten, and subject to availability, a separate self-contained studio apartment on the lower ground floor (American lower level) can also be rented at the same time. The studio has its own private entrance, kitchen and bathroom and is completely independent. It is not included in the standard townhouse booking and is only available by prior arrangement and booked separately. If you are travelling as a larger group and would like to rent both together, please enquire in advance and I will be happy to confirm availability and price details.
From the house, most guests explore London on foot. The River Thames is just a couple of minutes’ walk away, with scenic riverside paths and Uber boats running to Greenwich and beyond. Buckingham Palace and the surrounding Royal Parks are within easy walking distance, as are Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, placing you right at the centre of London’s historic and ceremonial heart.
The heart of London posh Belgravia is close by, including Pimlico Road and Elizabeth Street, well known for their cafés, restaurants, antique shops, delicatessens, charming pubs and a popular weekly farmers’ market. This area is especially loved by guests who enjoy local neighbourhood life rather than busy tourist crowds.
Victoria Station is a short walk and is one of London’s main transport hubs, offering Metro (Underground) lines, mainline trains across the UK, buses and open-top sightseeing routes. Victoria Coach Station is also nearby and is often used by guests for comfortable day trips to destinations such as the Cotswolds, Oxford and other historic towns.
Sloane Square is approximately a 10-minute walk and marks the gateway to Chelsea. From here you can explore the iconic King’s Road, internationally known since the 1960s for its influence on fashion, music and culture, and still home to elegant boutiques, cafés and bookshops. Cultural highlights nearby include the Royal Court Theatre, Cadogan Hall with its extensive programme of concerts and events, and the Saatchi Gallery, a favourite with guests interested in modern art and design.
Although the location is exceptionally central, the house itself is set on a peaceful residential street, in an upmarket safe area, offering a calm and comfortable retreat after a day exploring London, with countless cafés, restaurants, shops and everyday services close by.
THE SPACE
This elegant Victorian townhouse dates from 1870 and is spread across three levels: the ground, first and second floors (American first, second and third floors). Guests have exclusive use of the entire townhouse across these floors throughout their stay.
The townhouse sleeps up to eight guests comfortably and works particularly well for families, groups of friends and multi-generational travellers. When rented together with the optional separate studio apartment mentioned earlier, accommodation is available for groups of up to ten guests.
THE LAYOUT
The ground floor (American first floor) features a comfortable living room with high ceilings, chandeliers and stylish décor. There is a glass dining table, a flat-screen TV with Netflix, Prime and other channels, and a high-quality Italian leather sofa bed that easily converts into a full-size double bed. Conveniently for guests travelling with older family members or anyone who prefers fewer stairs, the ground floor (American first floor) also includes a full bathroom with bath and shower, WC and basin, allowing comfortable day-to-day living on this level.
The main kitchen on this level is fully equipped with a dishwasher, washer-dryer, microwave, refrigerator, and all necessary cookware, plates, cups and cutlery.
On the first floor (American second floor) there is a light-filled breakfast room, which guests particularly enjoy for morning coffee and relaxed starts to the day. This space includes a cafetière, stove top, additional refrigerator and a second washing machine. It is designed for breakfast and light use rather than formal meals.

LOCAL INSIDER RECOMMENDATIONS
One of the things guests value most is the personal local guidance they receive.
I have lived in this part of London for many years, and my family history here goes back generations. Once you’ve booked, I share a carefully curated list of personal recommendations including links to restaurants, cafés, pubs, walks, shopping, galleries, theatre, concerts and lesser-known local favourites. Many guests plan their stay in advance using these suggestions, and this is frequently mentioned in guest feedback.
