Notting Hill Gate, London, W11 1 bed apartment - £5,633 pcm (£1,300 pw)

From the 1960s-inspired lobby, Campden Hill Towers makes a striking impression with marble clad walls, glass mosaic panels and striped carpets in autumnal hues. Take the lift to the seventh and eighth floors, where a Notting Hill Gate landmark pairs modernist architecture with contemporary design.

Inside, this two-storey duplex combines period character with modern craftsmanship. The open-plan kitchen, dining and reception space is backdropped by original parquet flooring and bespoke Uncommon Projects deep teal cabinetry, fitted with Neff appliances and a stainless-steel worktop with a Kit Kat tile splashback.

The living area, anchored by an Artifort sofa, enjoys natural light through full-width sliding glazing that opens to a private west-facing balcony. Views stretch across Holland Park’s rooftops, creating an ideal setting for al fresco dining or evening drinks.

Upstairs, two bedrooms share the same sweeping outlook. The principal bedroom is calm and neutral, dressed with Fermoie curtains and wood-grain wardrobes; the guest bedroom brings calming grey-blue tones and tailored joinery.

The family bathroom is finished in Diespeker terrazzo, with a freestanding bath, rainfall shower, Waterworks brassware and underfloor heating. A cloakroom with malachite-patterned wallpaper adds a vibrant touch to this quietly elegant apartment.
