Mr Monopoly

This plush city bolthole sits in one of London’s most sought-after neighbourhoods. You’re right next to the boutiques and trendy cocktail bars of Chelsea and the luxury shops of Sloane Street are five minutes away on foot. At Sloane Square, a three-minute walk, you’ll find a tube station that can whisk you to all corners of the city in minutes. The apartment itself retains its charming Georgian sash windows and original fireplaces. Apart from that, it’s all sleek modernism with vibrant contemporary art on the walls and a striking quartz breakfast bar in the kitchen. Each piece of furniture, coffee table book and faux fur throw feels like it’s been hand-picked and carefully considered. The secret bonus is a little outdoor terrace, which catches the sun in the morning – a real boon this close to the city centre.

Home truths:
*It's on the lower ground floor, so some rooms don't get a lot of natural light
*The third bedroom is a box room, suitable for an overnight guest or child
*There is no parking with the apartment but you're right in the centre of the action with excellent transport links
*This second bedroom is short of storage space, so we'd recommend packing light.
