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.
Pimlico
A glorious Victorian London townhouse, Saint George's Drive VIII boasts six beautiful bedrooms - a rare feat in the heart of London. Beautiful bay windows flood the interiors of this home with natural light, and the main living and dining spaces are all contemporary elegance. To make things even more impressive, Saint George's Drive VIII benefits from a state-of-the-art gym, sauna suite, and an enchanting walled garden for tranquil moments, creating a London abode that really does have it all.
Kensington
Although in many ways rather grand – you’ll spot original details, antiques and impressive accessories aplenty – this six bedroom home’s living areas have a welcoming vibe, thanks to dashes of colour and printed soft furnishings. The master bedroom’s a decadent space, with a curtained bed and a generous ensuite. You’ll find the surrounding streets dotted with local pubs and eateries, and you’re very close to Kensington Gardens.
Knightsbridge
It's all cosy sumptuousness in this lovely four-bedroom home. The interiors are an appealing balance of modern and traditional, where a mostly neutral colour palette is boosted by plush furnishings of comfy sofas, snug armchairs, padded bed headboards and details like bold splashes of emerald green or petrol blue tones, herringbone marble bathroom tiles, beaded wall panels and ornate wallpaper.
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.
