Thacker & Scott

Arty, chic and endlessly charming, this apartment in Notting Hill is an ideal base for a couple or solo traveller looking for a comfortable and relaxing stay in the city. Brimming with books, art prints, decorative curios and stylish furnishings, this space has been curated with design and singularity in mind. Open up the living room’s glass doors to step out onto a plant-famed balcony, where a cosy bench seat invites morning coffees as the sun rises and evening drinks before a night out in one of the countless local restaurants. Alternatively, fire up the barbecue here for an alfresco feast, before curling up on the sofa with one of the many books from the shelves and a glass of wine. Upstairs, a well-equipped office is ready to make working from home a treat, while the bedroom and its boudoir-style lounge (also with access to balcony) are dreamily elegant. When you’re not sitting pretty in your plush pad, go out and explore your surroundings. Portobello Road is just a five-minute walk away, leafy Holland Park is a twenty-five-minute stroll and Kensington palace is thirty minutes on foot from your door.
