Social distance in style: townhouse to rent in Connaught Square with access to same communal garden as Blairs and Claudia Winkleman

London’s Connaught Square has long attracted high-profile residents including the Blairs and Strictly Come Dancing presenter Claudia Winkleman.

Despite its very central location close to Marble Arch and Hyde Park, the pretty spot has a village feel.

A luxurious five-bedroom house has popped up on the rental market there for £3,000 per week through Wilfords.

With kitchenette, bathroom and two bedrooms, the lower-ground floor of the 3,392sq ft home has its own entrance, making it suitable for use as a separate apartment.

Perhaps the most appealing feature during coronavirus lockdown is access to the beautifully landscaped communal garden in the centre of the square.

You never know who you might be social distancing from as you pop out for your daily exercise.
