Queen's Gate Gardens, South Kensington, London

Set in a Georgian building, this two-bedroom, turnkey apartment in Queen’s Gate Gardens is a harmonious marriage between timeless elegance and sophisticated comfort. The fashionable pied-à-terre was designed by Raphaël Le Berre and Thomas Vevaud, French interior architects noted for featuring in AD’s eminent “Top 100 Architects in the World” list.



The home’s impressive 24 ft. by 19 ft. reception room, with a high ceiling and three soaring French doors, is bathed in natural light. It is adjoined by a chic dining area, clad with satin wood, lacquer, and plaster finishes, and an integrated Miele wine fridge. Overlooking Queen’s Gate Gardens, the reception windows swing open into a full-width balcony, outfitted with a charming table-chair setup, creating a delightful entertaining arrangement.



The bespoke kitchen, cordoned off by fashionable Art Deco pocket glass doors, is perfect for those who enjoy cooking. Made by Parisian artisans, it is fitted with high-end Miele appliances, a Zimbabwe black granite worktop, Ocean Storm natural marble splashback, Gessi fittings, and spacious cabinetry.



The principal bedroom, measuring a mighty 23 ft. by 15 ft. has two vast windows, a bespoke vanity area, and premium furnishings. The attached bathroom feels like a luxury spa, with a Rosa Aurora marble-tiled shower, a statement marble sink, a curved bathtub, and waxed concrete flooring.



The whole apartment is finished in a classic colour palette, contemporary furnishings, bespoke chevron oak wood flooring, hand-cut skirting, and custom-made joinery. High-tech amenities include underfloor heating, a mobile-controlled dimmable lighting system, and LED-light integrated wardrobes. Private access to the historic garden square enhances the apartment’s exclusivity.



Perched in the heart of South Kensington, one of London’s most illustrious postcodes, notable landmarks such as Hyde Park, Harrods, Royal Albert Hall, and Natural History Museum are located close by. The apartment is also well-connected to the rest of London, with South Kensington and Gloucester Road Underground Stations within close proximity.
