Palace Gardens Terrace 1 Bedroom, Kensington

• Central London apartment for 2 close to Kensington Palace • First floor property with kitchen separate from living/dining area • Bedroom has an ensuite bathroom • Great location for easy access to many London attractions • Ideal for sightseeing couple or corporate stays

The kitchen sits at the centre of the apartment, separate from the living area, and is equipped with a dishwasher and washer/dryer among its modern appliances — everything you need if you're planning to cook your own meals. The living room and dining area is where you can gather to review the day's events and make plans for tomorrow. There's a sofa and two armchairs, all offering good views of the television. A dining table with chairs is great for enjoying meals prepared in the kitchen, and equally handy for working or playing card and board games. The bedroom features a beautifully presented kingsize bed. An integrated wardrobe/closet provides space to hang clothes and store bags, while the ensuite bathroom — with a shower over the tub, WC and wash basin — means you won't have far to go to freshen up each morning.

The apartment is located very close to Kensington Gardens, where you'll find Kensington Palace and the Diana Memorial Fountain. Next to this is Hyde Park, one of London's largest green spaces and home to all kinds of events all year round. Other nearby highlights include Oxford Street and Bond Street for shopping; Knightsbridge, home to the famous department store Harrods; and Portobello Market, one of London's most celebrated markets, just a short distance away. The Science Museum, the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Natural History Museum are all close together just off the Cromwell Road and all well worth a visit. The Royal Albert Hall is also nearby — book a performance and you won't have far to travel from the apartment to your seats.

Being so centrally located means it's perfectly possible to walk to many places in the local area. For further travel, plenty of buses serve the area, and taxis are readily available on the Bayswater Road. For the Underground, Notting Hill Gate is the nearest station, serving the Central, District and Circle lines (red, green and yellow on the tube map). From there you can reach Paddington (for trains to Heathrow Airport), Victoria (for trains to Gatwick Airport) and King's Cross St Pancras (for Eurostar services to mainland Europe).
