Nell Gwynn House

Even the 'back door' entrance of Nell Gwynn House, located on Draycott Avenue in the Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, isn't exactly shabby.

 

This splendid art-deco building was designed in the 1930s by architect G. Kay Green as a glamorous central London home for those who travelled or lived outside the capital. It contains a number of apartments of varying sizes, some of which are available for short-term lets - at a price.

 

The front of the building on Sloane Avenue is sumptuously presented but a little overstated for my taste - the less ostentatious rear entrance, for me, is rather more in tune with the overall elegance of the building. It would seem I know my place in life's pecking order......
