With ombré walls, velvet sofas, mid-century furniture, intricate wallpaper, and an original fireplace, this cosy home is what interior design dreams are made of. Step outside and yet another exciting feature awaits you – this building is known as “the thin house”. With only six-feet width at its narrowest end, this perceived optical illusion is another marvel. But don’t worry, the fun doesn’t stop there – the renowned V&A and Natural History museum are just moments away. Pack your finest clothes, you’re going to London!

With the bedroom on the mezzanine level, there is not much privacy if there are guests staying in the living area
