The Holland Park Mews Residence
Perks for the Parents
Does it get any more quintessentially cool than living in a historic mews house in London? Holland Park Mews II sleeps 6 guests and has no shortage of cobblestoned charm. With 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, the whole family will have the space and privacy they need to recharge after full days in Britain's capital city.
Why Kids Love it
Kids will love turning onto the quaint, cobblestoned mews road - there's just something about it that feels downright old-school Sherlock Holmes-y. The trundle bed is located on the ground floor in what was once the traditional stable and while the property doesn't come with a horse, it's awfully fun to dream about how this building was originally used. Holland Park is only a few minutes away by foot and the closest tube station (you guessed it, Holland Park) is 5 minutes away. Kids will love having breakfast or a snack out on the teeny tiny balcony.
Things to Know
The fireplace in this home is ornamental. There is no wardrobe in the third bedroom so we will provide a hanging rail for your storage. There is a trundle bed in the third bedroom which can be set up for one or two people. Please let us know when you book if you would like it prepared. This home doesn't have air-conditioning. Between June and September, we'll place fans in each bedroom. Please let us know if you'd like fans outside the summer period. This home is spread over two floors with no internal elevator. Since the photoshoot, curtains have been added in the third bedroom. Complimentary Lovevery Play Kit for kids (0-4yrs) during your stay T&C's apply.
About the Location
This property is located in the leafy green, residential neighborhood of Holland Park in West London. It's a short 30-minute cab ride from Heathrow Airport and only a 5-minute walk to Holland Park tube station which is on the Central Line. It is a quick stroll to the playgrounds and greenery of Holland Park, and is well located to visit the Natural History Museum, The V&A and Kensington High Street. London's Design Museum is only a 15-minute walk away from the property's front door across Holland Park as well.
Accommodation Details
This cleverly designed, compact home has 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The sitting room is immediately to the left on the ground floor after you enter from the street and has a large, eggplant-colored velvet sectional sofa with a flat-screen tv. The dining area seats 6 guests and is flooded with light thanks to the double-height ceiling with skylight which floods the kitchen with natural light. Both bedrooms upstairs have queen beds and en-suite bathrooms, the primary bathroom has a bath and shower, the other is shower only.
Style Notes
Modern mews. This chic house has just the right pops of color to brighten up any rainy London day. The decor is refined and minimalist setting the stage for a fabulous family home-away-from-home base. We love the underfloor heating and the thoughtfully designed wood-paneled and white kitchen.

Kensington & Chelsea, London
Hyde Park, Harrods and Her Majesty
The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea has a certain cachet. It’s where you’ll find Buckingham Palace, Sloane Square, the King’s Road, Harrods and many of the most upmarket stores and areas of the city. For kids, Hyde Park is a must-do, whether you go boating on the Serpentine on summer or enjoy the kid-friendly cafés around it. It’s a central area very well connected with the rest of the city by bus and Tube.
