London's leafy borough of Kensington is an eclectic part of the capital. Part international museums and art galleries, part boho village chic, it's an enchanting and charming part of the capital with its own unique character. This elegant, grand family home is tucked away in west Kensington with five sumptuous bedrooms and space for up to seven guests. Poplar Grove is everything you'd expect from a London townhouse, but with so much more besides. Split over five levels, it echoes the artistic complexities of the nearby museums, with Asian-inspired themes running throughout and some striking sculptural focal points and bespoke artworks on the walls. This is a home that celebrates both family life and the rich cultural heritage of London’s past, present and future. The owner of this exclusive London home spent time living in Cambodia, and the influences of their time in Southeast Asia are clear to see in every room. From the wonderfully quirky 'elephant in the room' sculpture in the bright and airy living room to the exquisite silk paintings and ornate lacquerware furniture, there’s a little touch of Cambodia in every space. Even the floor-to-ceiling bookshelf has a row of serene, smiling buddhas sitting on the top. It all fuses beautifully with the trappings of a modern London home, creating an interior with bags of charm, plenty of personality, and a homely, cosy feeling.

Despite being full of character, this is still a very modern home, with a sleek kitchen packed with high-end appliances framed by a refined plant-filled dining space with a distinctly Scandinavian feel. Continue up through the home, and you'll encounter five exceptional bedrooms that blend Zen-like simplicity and serenity with a subtle emphasis on this home’s original features, such as the ornate cornicing in the master bedroom. The ensuite bathrooms balance the softness of the bedrooms with contemporary finishings. Poplar Grove also has that most essential of London home features: its own garden.

This magnificent home sits on the border of the genteel West Kensington and up-and-coming Shepherd's Bush, with its major entertainment centres, such as the Empire, and plenty of markets, boutiques and fabulous restaurants to explore. With easy access to the London Underground Goldhawk Road station, the huge Westfield Shopping Centre and Kensington Olympia events centre, Poplar Grove makes a perfect base for a city break with family or friends.
