Sunlit Irises

Sitting between two of London’s most glorious green spaces – Hyde Park and Green Park – this apartment in Mayfair puts you right at the heart of the city’s swishest district. Inside, modern furnishings combine with slanted windows and a neutral palette to create a warm and relaxing welcome, with the hallway’s glossy black tiles setting a sophisticated tone. Our favourite feature here, however, is the stunning stained glass window above the dining table. Sit here in the mornings as the light pours through, casting a rainbow of colour on the walls, or gather around for intimate dinners as you watch the moon peeking through the pane’s irises. With access to a shared gym, you can get your day off to an active start, or grab a coffee and enjoy an early stroll through either Green Park or Hyde Park (both a five-minute walk away) for an equally pleasurable morning. Then, fill your afternoons with some shopping along Oxford Street or Knightsbridge (both twenty minutes away on foot) or a visit to Buckingham Palace (twelve minutes away) while evenings call for drinks in Soho (fifteen minutes) and a star-studded show in the West End (twenty minutes).
