The Story Behind "The Skinny House" in South Kensington..
This skinny house in Kensington is known as the "Thin House" and, at its narrowest end, it’s only 6ft wide. Originally, back in the 19th Century, 5 Thurloe Square was an artist’s studio. Nowadays, it’s a prime piece of property, with a one-bedroom flat listed at £850,000 in 2016. Despite it looking impossibly narrow from the south-west corner of Thurloe Square, it’s actually triangular, meaning it widens—albeit undramatically—from its skinniest point. One of London’s coolest optical illusions!
