About this property
CENTRAL LONDON HISTORIC TOWNHOUSE! NEAR BUCKINGHAM PALACE, RIVER METROS & CAFES!
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.
BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS There are three well-proportioned bedrooms arranged across the upper floors. The principal bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom and is equipped with a vanity basin, mirror, desk and wardrobe space.
The second and third bedrooms are located on the top floor and each is equipped with a vanity basin, mirror, desk and wardrobe and have access to a shared bathroom.
In total, the house has three modern bathrooms, all with bath and shower combinations, wash basins and WCs. All baths are full size, with showers over the top (shower baths).
As with all traditional London townhouses, there are stairs between floors. Many guests appreciate the split-level layout for privacy and flexibility, particularly when travelling as a group.
COMFORT & AMENITIES Fast Wi-Fi throughout the property. Quality freshly pressed bed linen and soft bath towels. Original wooden floors on the upper levels and quartz flooring on the ground floor. Professionally cleaned and well maintained, something guests frequently comment on.
GUEST ACCESS You will have exclusive use of the entire townhouse across the UK ground, first and second floors (American 1st, 2nd and 3rd) for the duration of your stay.
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.

Prices include all fees, with no hidden charges.
SECURITY & PEACE OF MIND For added reassurance, the front and rear exterior of the property are covered by CCTV. The neighbourhood itself is quiet, safe and very well regarded.

We had a big group of family here to cheer on my husband for the London Marathon. This was a great spot to be based. The place was super clean. The beds were very comfortable, we are slept so well. We had a large pasta meal the night before and had no issues with cooking a big meal. Simone is a lovely host!! Communication was easy and helpful. I locked us out of the place one evening and Simone was so kind and helpful about it.We loved our stay!

Simone was an excellent host - very communicative and helpful. We stayed at this house for 6 nights and though the location was remote enough from the louder and more populated neighborhoods while still close to many points of interest and good restaurants. The on-site washing machine came in handy though we wished there was a dryer as well. A laundromat down the block was a convenient option since it had larger size washers and also dryers. Would recommend this house

Simone was the perfect host for a perfect location! We had everything that our family of 5 adults needed to experience all that London offers. Simone gave us so many lovely local recommendations that we know we will have to come back to experience all of them. Easy walk to Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and many local cafes, pubs and even a convenience store. For experiences that were a bit further away the Uber boat and London’s vast public transportation system were within a close walk.Home was nicely organized, very clean and beds were super comfortable. Would love to stay here again in the future!

Very clean, very quiet neighborhood, communication with host was excellent. Kitchens were well equipped. i would recommend this property for people who don’t mind stairs. The showers were in the bathtubs with nothing to hold onto while getting in and out. I believe this is normal, but I am a little too old to hop in and hop out and not worry about slipping. There is no carpeting in first floor bedroom.

Simone truly went above and beyond to be sure we had plenty of recommendations for pubs, activities, and sightseeing. As a family, we loved sitting in the little breakfast room. The split levels of the townhome worked great for us -- teens on one level, adults on the other. Overall, it was a great stay!!
