This is the kind of space that proves a Belgravia mews can be every bit as clever as it is characterful — bespoke joinery, hidden storage tucked into all the right places, and a layout that just works for real London living. Made for cosy film nights, a good book by the window, and that easy in-and-out flow only a properly designed home can give you. ✨ And what makes it really special? You're tucked on one of SW1's most peaceful cul-de-sacs… surrounded by homes valued at £8–10 million and more… and yet this freehold, two-bedroom mews house can be yours for just under £2 million. 💕 The kind of space that makes coming home the easiest part of your day. 👀 #Belgravia #BurtonMews #PrimeCentralLondon #LondonProperty #FreeholdLondon
Welcome into the living room at Burton Mews… where every inch has been quietly thought through. �
🤍 Step inside the bedrooms at our Bloomsbury townhouse — and I'll show you why this one keeps stopping my expat clients in their tracks. Five bedrooms (or more, depending on how you use them ✨) — including a truly gorgeous family-sized primary with an original fireplace that's been beautifully modernised, a light-filled loft bedroom under the eaves, and so much room for the kids, the in-laws, the guest from back home, or that home office you've been dreaming about. What I love most? The original details have been kept and quietly updated — the fireplaces, the proportions, the calm, considered styling throughout. This is the kind of home a family really grows into — and stays in for years to come. And the location? Bloomsbury at its best. Moments from Russell Square, the British Museum, UCL, and some of London's most-loved schools — the kind of address that makes London feel like home from day one. 🛏️ Five-plus bedrooms. 🪟 Two reception rooms. 🧡 One very special London townhouse. Full tour on YouTube — link in bio. DM me to arrange a private viewing. #BloomsburyLondon #LondonTownhouse #ExpatLondon #LondonFamilyHome #OnyxPropertyTeam

Moving to London with kids? Here's everything I tell my relocating clients about choosing the right school — from the American School in London and Southbank International, to the state schools and sixth-form options most newcomers overlook. London has around 90 international and international-friendly schools, serving an estimated 30,000 children of relocating families. The choice can feel overwhelming — US curriculum or IB, private or state, primary or sixth form, and crucially, where do you actually live to make it all work? In this 2026 guide, I walk you through the pathways, the schools that consistently come up in conversations with my clients, and the neighbourhoods that make family life in London actually work. TIMING TIP: The American School in London (ASL) and Southbank International typically have waiting lists of 6–12 months — sometimes longer for primary entry. Aim to apply six to nine months before your intended start date, and earlier for the popular entry points (Year 7, Year 12).

For my relocating clients, getting the school decision right is the single thing that unlocks everything else: which area to live in, which commute works, and which version of London your family ends up calling home. If you're moving to London — or already here and reconsidering schools — my team and I would love to help you think through it. ------ WORK WITH UGO: Looking to buy, rent, or relocate to London?

What Are The BEST Schools in London? (Parents' 2026 Guide)
Right now it's beautifully decorated as a toddler's room — soft, sweet, and full of character. But don't be fooled… it can just as easily become a calm double guest room, a quiet home office, or whatever shape your London life takes next. ✨ There's space for a double bed, generously deep built-in wardrobes you can keep as-is… or open up for the full square footage. The kind of room that bends to you, instead of the other way around. 💕 And the real magic? You're tucked on one of SW1's most peaceful cul-de-sacs, surrounded by homes valued at £8–10 million and more… and yet this freehold, two-bedroom mews house can be yours for just under £2 million. 👀 The kind of extra space that quietly makes a home in London feel like yours. 🤍 #Belgravia #BurtonMews #PrimeCentralLondon #LondonProperty #FreeholdLondon
