Cornwall Gardens, London SW7

There’s a composed charm to Cornwall Gardens. Portico-fronted townhouses frame its three tree-lined lawns, giving the area a sense of quiet order – a welcome surprise just moments from the cultural energy of the V&A, Hyde Park and High Street Kensington.

Set on the second floor of a handsome stucco terrace, this apartment mirrors its surroundings: Calm, elegant and softly defined. Inside, a neutral palette and thoughtful layout create a space designed for modern living. The open-plan kitchen and reception room is gently zoned: Large floor tiles grounding the kitchen, pairing sleek black counters with pale cabinetry, integrated appliances and stainless-steel finishes. A central island brings function and flow, separating the social space without interrupting its rhythm. Soft carpet warms the lounge and dining area, backdropped by a trio of tall sash windows that frame the leafy garden square opposite.

Opposite, the bedroom continues the theme. It’s a space of soothing tones and soft daylight, oriented to face south. Steps ascend from here to a private room – an ideal home office or walk-in wardrobe. The home additionally benefits from access to the communal garden square, a leafy stretch that invites summer picnics.

At the centre of the cultural action, some of London’s most revered museums along Exhibition Road are within walking distance of Cornwall Gardens. Coveted local restaurants such as Macellaio rc, Cambio De Tercio and Margaux are just over 10 minutes away, perfect for get-togethers after a stroll around Brompton Cemetery – one of the capital’s seven historic burial grounds. It’s not far to reach the retail offerings along High Street Kensington either, followed by an evening of live music at Troubadour.
