I have friends in New York and, like Londoners, they like to talk apartments. But when it comes to property in our capital city, they just don't get it. A two-bedroom, one reception room, single floor home without a garden for... £1.85m. How does that happen? It's all about the quest for the original, the quest for character in a city packed with hidden gems. Lantern House is in Elvaston Mews, one of the last in London with an actual working stable. It's close to Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. There's nothing else like it. Particulars, here.

Tomorrow, Chelsea mansion.

The Particulars - what's this about?
