Historic Mansion Apartments in London- 1 Bed Apartment West Kensington

Hi I'm Becky- and I'm the founder of a Airbnb management company called 'Properties-on-Sea' based in Southend-on-Sea I love hosting because it gives me the chance to share everything that makes this city so special—from its rich history and culture to its hidden gems and ever-changing energy.

Being a host allows me to meet people from all over the world and offer local insight, whether it's a quiet café, a lesser-known museum, or the best way to take in London’s iconic sights. It's a real joy to help guests feel welcome, comfortable, and truly at home.

Whether you’re visiting for a short break, business trip, or extended stay, I’m always happy to help you make the most of your time in this incredible city.

Charleville Mansions is nestled in the heart of West Kensington, an area I absolutely adore for its perfect blend of charm, convenience, and character. The moment you step out of the building, you’re immediately surrounded by leafy streets, beautiful period architecture, and a laid-back vibe that makes it feel like a peaceful retreat in the midst of the bustling city.

What I love most about this area is how easy it is to get both a taste of local life and a feel for the city’s energy. West Kensington has a lovely village feel, with quaint cafes, independent shops, and a fantastic selection of pubs and restaurants. It’s the kind of place where you can wander through tree-lined streets, grab a coffee from a nearby café, or relax in the charming green spaces like Kensington Memorial Park, all while being just moments away from central London’s excitement.

Whether you’re popping over to Kensington High Street for shopping, exploring the iconic museums like the V&A or Natural History Museum, or hopping on the District Line at West Kensington Station to head into the heart of the city, the location is unbeatable. I also love the fact that it’s a quieter part of London, so you get the best of both worlds—access to everything the city offers, yet with a peaceful, residential feel that makes it easy to relax after a busy day of sightseeing or work.

This area really has something special—its mix of convenience, calm, and charm is what makes it a truly wonderful place to stay, and I’m always happy to share my love for West Kensington with my guests.

What truly makes my property stand out is the perfect blend of comfort, character, and location. From the moment you step inside, you’ll notice the care and attention to detail that makes it feel like a true home away from home.

Perfect Location: Situated in West Kensington, you’re right in the heart of one of London’s most desirable areas. It’s a peaceful, residential neighborhood that’s still incredibly well-connected—just a short walk from shops, cafes, and restaurants, and only a few minutes’ walk to West Kensington Station for quick access to the rest of London. Whether you’re here for sightseeing, work, or a mix of both, it’s the ideal base for exploring.

Home Comforts with a Personal Touch: I’ve made sure to include all the little touches that make your stay comfortable—whether it’s high-quality linens, a fully equipped kitchen for home-cooked meals, or cozy living areas perfect for winding down after a busy day.
