Ember Locke, London

Located in the city’s exclusive Kensington and Chelsea neighbourhoods, Ember Locke is spread across eight floors, comprising 121 apartments ranging from studios, to duplex one bedroom apartments. Complementing the lobby and common areas is a coffee shop, bar and restaurant  which sits amongst co-working space, a meeting room and large garden. Additional facilities also include a gym and laundry room.

Designed in collaboration by creative and interior design studios Atelier Ochre and House of Dré, the warm, distinctive interiors and layering of casual and bohemian spaces with soft ambient tones and hues, welcome guests and provide solace from the bustle of Cromwell Road. Inspired by the late Kensington Roof Gardens and the laissez-faire flamboyance demonstrated by the iconic mid-century fashion brand Biba (born in Kensington’s bohemian fashion scene), the Art Deco design style combined with 21st century retro futurism, ensure the interiors are a nostalgia-soaked reimagining of over a decade of glamour in Kensington.
