Discovering the latest designer collections on the catwalk, spotting famous faces in the crowd and, of course, the elegant evening events... This year, London Fashion Week promises to be as fabulous as ever.
If you’re heading to town for the occasion, then we know the perfect place to stay. From sleek minimalist apartments to graceful art-filled abodes, these stylish sanctuaries deposit you right in the centre of all the action, while providing you with the peace and privacy you need after a busy day in the heart of haute couture.
Wandsworth
Trinity Road is a delightful townhouse in South-West London. This exceptional retreat blends modern comfort with traditional Victorian charm, from the magnificent marble fireplace to the stained glass doors. The playful use of color and wallpaper makes this unique home stand out, but the sparkling chandelier takes centre stage above it all.
Bayswater
Every little detail of this attractive one-bedroom bolthole has been thoughtfully considered and tastefully chosen. From the artfully mismatched vintage furnishings to the vibrant pops of burnt orange, flushed pink and deep ochre, there’s plenty at Porchester Terrace North to delight every kind of design lover.
South Kensington
Situated six floors up, this handsome penthouse boasts panoramic city views and a gorgeous rooftop terrace. That’s certainly not the Petersham House's only charm, however. The apartment’s warm wood paneling, stylish retro furniture and quirky light fittings certainly ensure the interiors are every bit as dazzling as the view.
Notting Hill
This elegant four-bedroom home delicately unfurls over five levels, revealing a palette of soft, pastel hues, balanced beautifully against restored vintage pieces and tasteful artwork. The embodiment of serene sophistication, Aldridge Road Villas II is a welcome haven to return to after a busy day in the city.
Kensington Olympia
Featured in endless glossy magazines, the gracefully curving walls and quirky interior features (such as a slide and a fireman’s pole) ensure Blythe Road stands out from the crowd. An off-road drive takes you straight to the door of this astounding architect-designed abode, where you can enjoy the delights of the small outdoor pool, secret rooftop terrace and spacious light-flooded interiors in complete peace and privacy.
Pimlico
A contemporary abode with a touch of vintage chic, Winchester Street III offers a sleek three-bedroom retreat for family holidays or getaways with friends in the city. Warm, neutral tones make up the sophisticated interior of the apartment, especially in the open-plan sitting room and kitchen. Set around the coffee table atop a shaggy boho rug is a collection of snug seating options; a pair of tan leather armchairs, a cushioned window seat, and a cosy bouclé sofa - its soft curves adding a hint of retro to the otherwise modern aesthetic.
Clerkenwell
A minimalist’s dream, Britton Street III almost feels like you're entering a contemporary art gallery, thanks to its perfectly positioned design-led statement furniture and lighting pieces along with an impressive double-height living room with floor-to-ceiling windows. Situated on a quiet side street in Farringdon, some of London’s most celebrated restaurants, pubs and bars are right on your very doorstep.
