If you want to stay in the beating heart of London, then this regent home is the one for you. It's situated in a renovated historic building in Victoria, just round the corner from the train station, with lovely views over Victoria Square. Inside, you'll find high ceilings and a neutral colour scheme that creates a true sanctuary in the city.

It doesn’t get much more central than Belgravia. A gateway to all of London’s most-loved attractions – Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey are right on its doorstep – this elegant area is an ideal base for first-time visitors and seasoned travellers alike. Past the immediate surroundings of the always-busy station, a network of classically beautiful terraced streets forms the neighbourhood, scattered with those iconic red telephone boxes. Cosy wine bars, authentic pizzerias and upscale pubs are dotted between houses-turned-hotels, continuing into neighbouring Pimlico, which leads directly to the Thames and Tate Britain. After an afternoon absorbing some of the country’s greatest artworks, stroll upriver to tick Big Ben and the London Eye off your itinerary. If you prefer to travel by tube or the sun has turned to drizzle, the handy Victoria Line is within easy reach and will take you right across the city in no time.
