About this house rental

HISTORIC VICTORIAN LONDON TOWNHOUSE | CENTRAL ZONE 1 | 3 BEDROOMS, 3 BATHROOMS | SLEEPS 8Experience the charm of an authentic Victorian London townhouse dating from 1870.

With antique French chandeliers and mirrors, Victorian and French furnishings, high ceilings and individually designed interiors, this quintessentially British home has character and flair rather than the feel of an impersonal hotel.

Three double bedrooms, three full bathrooms and a double sofa bed accommodate up to eight guests on a peaceful residential street in Central London Zone 1.

WHAT OUR PREVIOUS GUESTS SAY
These are genuine quotations from guests who stayed in this same townhouse, taken from our previous Vrbo listing: ★★★★★ 5/5 – Mari | Vrbo | October 2026
“An absolutely lovely property! Simone was so helpful and responded very quickly to our questions. The bedrooms were very well appointed and comfortable. The public rooms gave us plenty of room to gather. The morning room on the second floor is nice and bright and the perfect place to enjoy a cup of tea. Great location. My family had a wonderful time. Will definitely come back!”

DON’T WASTE HALF YOUR LONDON HOLIDAY COMMUTING FROM THE SUBURBS!

Not all “London” accommodation is equally central. Searching for a stay in London can show properties across Greater London, sometimes miles from the sights you came to see.

Visitors unfamiliar with the city can easily underestimate daily travel times.Why spend precious holiday hours commuting when you could be exploring?

Our townhouse is genuinely in Central London Zone 1, within walking distance of Buckingham Palace, Westminster, the River Thames, Belgravia, Sloane Square, Chelsea and Victoria Station.

Just a five-minute stroll takes you to the cafés, restaurants, traditional pubs, antique shops and boutiques around Pimlico Road and Belgravia.

Yet the house itself sits on a quiet, attractive street of Victorian townhouses, away from the bustle. Enjoy London on foot, then come home to peace and privacy.

A HOME WITH HISTORY AND INTERIOR-DESIGN FLAIR
Built around 1870, the house is furnished with an eclectic mix of English and French pieces. Antique French chandeliers and ornate mirrors, Victorian and French furniture, and carefully chosen decorative details give the rooms a distinctive personality. Wooden flooring upstairs contrasts with modern quartz flooring on the ground level.This isn't an ultra-luxury hotel, but a genuine, comfortable London home with an individual style and the practical conveniences visitors need.

Guests have exclusive use of the entire three-storey townhouse.

THE LAYOUT: THREE DOUBLE BEDROOMS AND THREE FULL BATHROOMS

GROUND FLOOR (US FIRST FLOOR) — LIVING, DINING, KITCHEN AND BATHROOM

FIRST FLOOR (US SECOND FLOOR) — PRINCIPAL BEDROOM AND BREAKFAST ROOM

Also on this level is our charming, light-filled breakfast room — a favourite feature of many guests. It has an additional refrigerator, hob, microwave, kettle, toaster, cafetière and second washing machine. It is an ideal spot for morning coffee or a quiet breakfast, and the extra facilities are especially useful for groups.

SECOND FLOOR (US THIRD FLOOR) — TWO MORE DOUBLE BEDROOMS
Two individually furnished double bedrooms occupy the top floor. Each has its own vanity basin, mirror, desk and wardrobe. A separate full bathroom serves this floor.

Altogether there are three double bedrooms, a double sofa bed and three complete bathrooms, each with a full-size bath and overhead shower.

The separate floors offer welcome privacy for families, three couples travelling together and groups of friends.

As in many historic London houses, internal staircases are relatively narrow, so please consider this if mobility is limited or luggage is particularly bulky.

MODERN COMFORTSFast Wi-Fi, comfortable beds, freshly pressed linen, soft towels, streaming entertainment, two kitchen areas, dishwasher and laundry facilities make longer stays easy.

The house is professionally cleaned and prepared between visits. Previous guests frequently praise the cleanliness, beds, flexible layout and the convenience of three bathrooms.
