Royal Crescent

A sweeping stucco crescent facing a private communal garden, unusual in London for its uniformity and its curve. Almost all of it is now flats, and the raised-ground and first-floor apartments have the ceiling heights of the original houses. Holland Park Avenue is a minute away, but the crescent itself is remarkably quiet.

For a wider view of the market around it, see Holland Park house prices — currently near £1,620 per square foot.
