There are two Abingdon Roads in London. I plan to visit the other, somewhere south of the river, in due course, but Abingdon Road W.8 looks a good place to live – being just off the Kensington High Street, with Hyde Park and the Royal Albert Hall only five minutes walk away.
The adjoining road Abingdon Villas also has some nice properties.
Take Abingdon Court, built in 1903. Or you could live in Abingdon Gardens, Abingdon Lodge, or even Abingdon Mansions.
Should you want to go out for a meal in the evening then you can do no better than go to The Abingdon.
I looked in the window of Harpers and Harrison, one of two estate agents on the Abingdon Road, W.8 , and see that you can get a short term let for £725 a week : that includes double bedroom, large kitchen / dining room, reception etc … Available until June 2012.
“Shorter Lets may be considered…”
I wonder if they would consider a let of one week. That would work out as quite reasonable for a weeks holiday on what is a very select road in central London.
I lived in Lexham Gardens just down the road as a student. Preferred the Brittania pub in Allen St though (Youngs bitter). Small world.
Could see myself living very happily at Abingdon Court – love that front door!
