The Cromwell

Contemporary one-bedroom in a portered Cromwell Road mansion block

2 guests sleeps1 bedrooms1 beds1 bathrooms

Inside a red-brick Edwardian mansion block on Cromwell Road, The Cromwell is a generously proportioned one-bedroom with high ceilings, contemporary furniture and a calm, neutral palette.

Three minutes' walk from Gloucester Road tube and five from Exhibition Road, it is ideal for short luxury stays focused on London's museums, restaurants and west-end theatre. A twenty-four-hour porter, lift and quiet courtyard aspect make it equally suited to longer stays.

The kitchen is fully equipped for entertaining, the bathroom is marble with a separate walk-in shower and the bedroom looks onto a planted inner courtyard rather than the main road.

Home truths

  • Cromwell Road carries traffic; the apartment is courtyard-facing so the bedroom is quiet, but the entrance is on a busy thoroughfare.
  • There is one shared (residents-only) parking space available on request — book at least 48 hours ahead.
  • The mansion block is Edwardian; the lift is original and small (suits two with luggage).

Local guide

About South Kensington

South Kensington is one of London's prettiest neighbourhoods — broad white-stucco squares, the embassy quarter, three free national museums, and the Royal Albert Hall a short walk north.

You are six minutes from Hyde Park's southern edge, ten from Sloane Street's flagships and twelve from Harrods, all on foot. Restaurants here are quietly some of the finest in central London.
