The “Thin House” at 5 Thurloe Square in South Kensington, London, is notable for its extreme narrowness, measuring just 6 feet wide at its narrowest point. Originally an artist’s studio in the 19th century, the building has been converted into high-value flats, with prices ranging from £850,000 to over £1 million. Despite its slim appearance, the structure is triangular, expanding to 34 feet at its widest. The property’s premium price is largely due to its prestigious location between South Kensington tube station and the V&A museum. The building’s history includes being part of a series of demolitions and constructions related to the development of the area, eventually leading to the current unique wedge-shaped design.
