Private balcony, herringbone floors, and open-plan living – this flat ticks a lot of our boxes. It’s surprisingly roomy for a one-bed, with a farmhouse-style table for four if you fancy hosting, a proper workspace, and a velvet sofa to sink into after a long day. The neighbourhood has a peaceful, local feel, while Crystal Palace Park – dinosaurs and all – is just a stroll away. And when it’s time to head into town, the Overground makes the rest of the city an easy ride.

An excellent south-east London base, this apartment is stylish and inviting. It’s surrounded by greenery, just a five-minute walk from Dulwich Park – there’s a peaceful vibe. Despite the leafy surrounds, you’ll be just a short walk from the eateries and supermarkets of Lordship Lane, and one minute from a bus stop. It takes just twelve minutes on the bus to reach the Dulwich Picture Gallery. The apartment is comfortable and convenient, with a contemporary, state-of-the-art kitchen and tranquil bedrooms. It’s ideal for long stays, a real home-from-home.

In laid-back Streatham, this stylish flat is contemporary and comfortable. It's not the most central, but a train station is within walking distance and offers connections to London Bridge and London Victoria. Even closer is Streatham Common, perfect for picnics and morning jogs. Back home, you can soak up the sunshine on the private balcony. The bright living area and kitchen make it easy to unwind. We think it works for families and friends wanting to be based in a local neighbourhood within easy reach of the city.

Tucked below street level, this apartment offers practical comfort and a relaxed pace of living – the kind that makes settling in feel effortless. The open-plan living space is bright and inviting, perfect for leisurely breakfasts or catching up over dinner. It’s a great fit for families or friends, with two generous bedrooms and a third that's snug but perfectly functional. And with Tulse Hill station a short walk away, it’s easy to get into central London or explore further afield. It’s not flashy, but it’s unfussy, comfortable and well connected – a solid base for a South London stay.

Garden

An inviting living area, bright kitchen, private garden, cosy bedrooms – whatever you need, this Clapham family-friendly home has it in spades. We love how sunny and cheery it is – the bay windows flood each room with heaps of natural light, while the parquet floor and pastel colour scheme add a whimsical touch. Pad downstairs in the morning to the bold blue kitchen and rustle up a delicious breakfast. On summer days, take your fare alfresco and enjoy your coffee in the garden or settle down around the sleek dining table instead. After a day spent exploring all London has to offer, come home and sink into the sumptuous sofa while a fire crackles in the wood burner, followed by a relaxing soak in the clawfoot tub. If you need to do some work, the second bedroom has a desk fit for Zoom calls, while the children's rooms have plenty of books and games to keep the kids entertained. Locals love Clapham for its array of international eateries, traditional pubs, trendy bars, and independent coffee shops – all of which can be reached on foot – and the transport links to central London are excellent. Hop on the tube at Clapham South (ten minutes away) and you can be in buzzing Leicester Square in twenty minutes, or if you're in the mood for a bit of shopping, take the bus to Chelsea's iconic King's Road, reachable in twenty minutes.

If you're looking for a central base, within easy reach of many of London's top sights and attractions, this ideally located two-bedroom flat in Clapham is the perfect pick. Not only will you have a modern and comfortable place to return to, but you're a fourteen-minute walk from the leafy common, fantastic for morning wanders in the park, while Clapham Junction tube station is only eleven minutes away on foot, connecting you to the likes of Wandsworth and Battersea in less than twenty minutes. 

Inside, the cosy living room includes a comfy sofa, as well as lots of homey decorative touches that will have you feeling at ease from the moment you arrive. Both bedrooms are wonderfully bright and minimal so you'll have no trouble getting a restful night's sleep in the city either. But the biggest draw is, of course, your private outside space, complete with garden furniture so you can sit back with your morning coffee and plan for your day ahead in the English capital.

Whether you need to work, play or relax, this extraordinary double-fronted home in Wandsworth has you covered. You only have to look at the 100-foot-long (and extra wide) garden to see what we mean. As well as a lawn plenty big enough for games, there's also plenty of alfresco seating. This is what exceptional living in London looks like. Stylish, elegant yet expansive, it’s a home begging for a large family or groups of friends to come together. Feedback from guests regarding this home has never been short of outstanding, and it's easy to see why. Upstairs you’ll find luxurious bedrooms with Egyptian cotton sheets – we’ll leave you to decide who lucks out on that top floor air-conditioned master with a garden view terrace. But for us, the clear standout feature has to be downstairs in the impressive kitchen, living and dining area, an incredibly impressive room that holds the entire household comfortably with stunning views of the beautiful garden. This space is best served with those incredible full-height patio doors slid right back to let the sunshine in, as you come together for a long, lazy breakfast before setting out to explore. And you’re in the right location to do so. Given the size of this place you'll be forgiven for thinking you're well outside the city, but you can walk to Wandsworth Common station in just over 10 minutes, and from there it's a quick 10-minute train ride to Victoria Station. Or for something a little slower paced, do like the locals and head round the corner for a brisk walk around Wandsworth Common – via the bustling high street first for that obligatory coffee. For those arriving by car, this home has its own off-street parking space – a very welcome rarity in London.

From art to zen, this large Clapham home has something for everyone. It’s big enough for families, with a back garden, single bedroom and farmhouse dining table – not to mention that beckoning swing. Yet the cool design chairs and funky four-poster bed feel distinctly adult, as does a well-equipped kitchen ready to thrill foodies. There’s office space for anyone needing to work, and a bathtub for post-sightseeing soaks. Clapham Common is nearby, as is its Underground station and surrounding high street.

Fitzclapham

This contemporary home is just moments from Clapham Common. Outside, you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to local cafes, restaurants and shops. There is no private parking but it’s just a short stroll to the nearest tube station – making it easy to explore iconic sights across London. Back at home, you’ll have a private roof terrace for evening drinks and there’s plenty of room to gather and socialise inside. Remote workers will appreciate the dedicated desk space and you’ll find all the essentials you could need to get you started.

Open the bifold doors from the gorgeous, light kitchen into the sunny garden – it's the perfect spot to enjoy some alfresco dining. Inside, the large living room's dark, dramatic hues show off the period fireplace to a tee – watch the world go by from the bay window seat or read a book here – there are plenty to choose from. 

We adore the original corniced ceiling, herringbone wood floors and plush velvet chairs. If you want to keep up your fitness regime, there's a private gym too.

Or go for a jog around Clapham Common, around 100 metres away – it's one of London's largest, and oldest public open spaces. Then go for lunch at one of the many eateries nearby. Culture lovers, on the other hand, can head to the Battersea Arts Centre, just over fifteen minutes on foot.

Located down a quiet gated mews, a short walk from the green expanse of Clapham Common and bustling Clapham High Street, this converted Victorian piano factory offers a peaceful haven close to the heart of the city. Just make sure to leave enough time in your packed schedule to enjoy it.

The interior blends Victorian chic with contemporary design. Think exposed steel beams, bare brick walls and Crittal-style doors that provide a link to its warehouse roots. In addition, your hosts have deliberately sought out well-loved antique pieces with plenty of patina to add character throughout the home. 

An open layout on the ground floor creates a sociable space where you can spend time together as a group, whether you're cooking in the kitchen, reading a book in the sitting area or completing a crossword at the dining table. Elsewhere, there's a sophisticated office space where you can fire off a few emails if needed and a gorgeous enclosed courtyard perfect for making the most of warm summer days. Meanwhile, upstairs offers an additional sitting area beneath a soaring vaulted ceiling, with the home's four bedrooms leading off it.

Leaving the tranquil sanctuary of the home behind, you won't have to walk far before you're in the thick of things. There are plenty of shops, bars and restaurants within a fifteen-minute walk of your front door, along with fantastic transport links to other parts of London. The Northern Line provides effortless access to London's glittering West End, the newly revamped Kings Cross and canalside Camden Town. At the same time, local bus routes place the likes of Brixton, Camberwell and Peckham within easy reach.

Just a short walk from West Croydon station, this apartment is the ideal base for a well-connected city stay. You can reach central London in less than twenty-minutes, while the close proximity to local shops and restaurants means you’ll find everything you could need in the neighbourhood. It’s worth noting the apartment is on the second floor with no lift access, but once inside it’s easy to settle in. The main bedroom also comes with a desk for work sessions, while the living room sets the tone for laidback evenings at home.

Located in London’s leafy Lambeth district – just a short stroll from Brixton’s lively bar and food scene, as well as from affluent Clapham – this beautifully styled apartment is just the ticket for those looking for a laid-back stay away from the tourist crowds.

Make your way upstairs to the wonderfully bright open-plan living area where soothing shades of grey are offset by vibrant pops of colour in the artwork and decorations. We love the bay window seat that invites you to curl up on it with a mug of tea and one of the many books on the shelves, while the sociable kitchen beckons homecooked meals serenaded by the record player and its selection of vinyl. 

The two downstairs bedrooms, meanwhile, are pared-back and peaceful, styled with a homey touch and soft pastel hues that feel instantly welcoming. 

But our favourite spot has to be the gorgeous private garden. Follow the string of colourful lanterns into this plant-framed spot to enjoy sunny breakfasts around the outdoor table and celebratory sundowners lounging on the sofa here. Day or night, you’ll love retreating to this quiet space – your very own urban oasis. 

Outside of your home, you’ve got plenty to see and do within easy reach. Spend a delicious afternoon at The Chocolate Museum (under a ten-minute walk), take a stroll through Brockwell Park (under twenty minutes away on foot) and explore the tantalising food stalls around Brixton Market (just over a ten-minute stroll away).

From the characterful wooden shutters to the host's collection of well-thumbed books, this cottage is the definition of cosy. The kitchen has all the essentials to whip up dinner – best enjoyed in the bay window – while the bedrooms are as comfortable as they are stylish. Topping it all off is the small garden. It has sundowners written all over it – the perfect end to a day spent sightseeing. As for location, it's ten minutes on foot from Clapham Junction and twenty from Battersea Park. Though it's not in the thick of central London, you'll still be incredibly well-connected here – trains can whisk you away to Victoria, Waterloo, or London Bridge in about ten minutes.

Single-Level Home

Live the London high life in this central, riverfront flat. With windows that run the length of the open-plan living space and doors straight onto your terrace and garden, this apartment gives you a front-row seat in the city. Watch the boats go by and the London Eye turn as you enjoy breakfast on the terrace, or have a drink and practice your putting skills on your mini-green. Inside, those fabulous windows mean you'll enjoy views of the London skyline whatever the weather, and there's plenty of space in the open-plan living area to cook, dine and spend time with family or friends. If you want some time to yourself, sink into the deep tub in the luxurious bathroom, where you can enjoy yet more views. The flat is conveniently situated in Vauxhall, within walking distance of the Tate Britain and just across the River Thames from the Houses of Parliament and the West End. Whether you want to see the sights, enjoy world-class shopping, or catch a show, the Tube at Vauxhall Station makes getting around easy and fast. 

Front Row Seats

Few homes scream 'quintessentially London' as loudly as this mews house. Secluded down a cute cobbled street, it boasts a wrought-iron spiral staircase, a balcony and a large, bright kitchen. There are also three single beds, which will suit families well. We loved how the relatively small space never feels cramped, and how the relaxation of a home is combined with a hotel-like concierge service. The Tate Britain's domestic artwork and The Thames are very nearby, as is Pimlico’s Underground station.

Jasmine Mews

Breakfast Included

Whether you need to work, play or relax, this extraordinary townhouse in Clapham has you covered. You only have to look at the 130-foot-long garden to see what we mean. As well as a lawn plenty big enough for games, there's also plenty of alfresco seating on the terrace, plus a self-contained office at the far end of the space with enough desks and screens for a whole start-up team if needs be.

And that's before we've even got around to the main home. Recently refurbished, the design is bright, bold and worthy of a centrefold in a glossy magazine. The sleek monochrome kitchen is truly envy-inducing, as is the chic dining table next to the large glass door leading to the back garden. At the front of the house, the living room is a little more homely thanks to the bay window, walls full of art and shelves packed with curios. To top it all off, the top two floors are home to characterful bedrooms and bathrooms.

It must be said that the location is fantastic, too. Larkhall Park sits five minutes away on foot, while the sprawling Clapham Common is a fifteen-minute walk. Just next to this is Clapham High Street, where you'll find a great range of restaurants and pubs, plus a cinema.  


It's All Fun & Games

Projector

This home offers a calm and creative sanctuary just ten-minutes from Battersea Park. You’ll find the nearest amenities within easy reach and it’s possible to walk to Battersea Power Station – providing you with plenty of entertainment options. It’s also well connected with great public transport links ensuring quick connections with central London. And when it comes to rest and relaxation, this home delivers everything you could need to settle in and make it your own. There’s a home office for remote workers, exercise equipment for wellness lovers and plenty of socialising space for families. 

A Battersea Beauty

This modern apartment is an ideal base whether you’re in London for business or leisure. Perfectly proportioned for three, it’s worth noting that at full occupancy, one person will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living room. Still, it’s a small price to pay for this home’s location. Locally, you can enjoy a visit to Tate Britain or a stroll along the River Thames. And for those keen to explore further afield, Pimlico Victoria Line is a mere four-minute walk away, so hopping across the city is a breeze. 

London Muse

We were bowled over by this apartment's location, just over a fifteen-minute walk from The Oval cricket ground. It has been the home of Surrey County Cricket Club since it was opened in 1845 and is a regular venue for test match cricket. 

If you're stumped for other places to go in the area, then head to Beaconsfield Contemporary Art (seven minutes on foot) – there's a lovely vegan café here too. Or one of London's best-loved attractions, the London Eye, is under a thirty-minute walk. History lovers, on the other hand, can visit the Imperial War Museum, a twelve-minute stroll away. It's the same walking distance to the Beefeater Gin Distillery, where you can take a tour or stop off at one of the many restaurants on the doorstep of this belter of a home. 

Relax on the sunny balcony with a drink in hand – we were hit for six when we saw the vistas over the capital's skyline. The living space is light and bright, thanks to its large patio doors, allowing light to flood in. After all that exploring, have a soak in the bath and then relax on the comfy sofa. This place is the perfect pad for a couple or solo traveller looking to take advantage of all that London has to offer.


Bowled Over

Located just a short walk from Clapham and Wandsworth Common, this home is ideal for a large family looking for a luxurious stay in London. At the heart of the home, a double reception room is equipped with a piano and plenty of space for entertaining. Plus, on warmer days, the open-plan kitchen opens to the garden via French doors, ideal for alfresco meals. The two family bathrooms feature free-standing bathtubs, so after days of exploring London, there'll be many opportunities to unwind in peace here. Just a short walk from the bars and boutiques of Northcote Road, the home is also within reach of the rest of London via Clapham Junction train station, only ten minutes away on foot. 

The Fall of Babylon

Pool / Snooker Table

Located in the heart of Battersea, this cosy studio apartment brings ease and comfort to city living. It’s worth noting there is no living room here, but you will have a private kitchen as well as access to a communal games room, gym, study and cinema room. Complimentary coffee is provided in the morning to help get your day started and you’ll find plenty to explore in the area. From here, it’s a short walk to cafes and restaurants in Clapham, while Battersea Power Station is also within easy reach.


London Moments 

This home in Clapham Common is a classic design lover’s haven, with captivating prints and traditional features. The vintage-style living room is glamorous yet inviting, while the bonus snug area is perfect for cosy nights in. The airy kitchen boasts a breakfast bar, and an electric Aga, while the dining room, with its canopied ceiling and white drapes, is perfect for ambient evenings. During the warmer months, you can make the most of the garden with a barbecue, though the furniture could do with a lick of paint. With Clapham Common just moments away and speedy Tube links to Central London, you can easily explore the city or relax on the patio with a glass of pet nat.

The City Garden 

Nestled in a leafy residential area close to lively Brixton, this one-bedroom flat makes a welcoming home from home. The living area has a big bay window that lets in lots of natural light, and there’s plenty of space to stretch out on the sofa or around the dining table. There’s a desk too, which is handy if you’re here for work, as well as a modern kitchen. We also love the clawfoot bathtub – a stylish spot for a soak. The buzzing bars and markets of Brixton are right on your doorstep, and you’re close to Brockwell Park too, which even has a lido for swimming on sunny days.

Green Jewel

This comfortable, modern apartment is in an attractive development in Nine Elms, close to The Oval and Battersea Park. Pimlico is just across the river, and there are great transport links to the rest of London. The apartment is simple yet stylish, with an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen space. The kitchen is sleek and well-equipped, so cooking at home is a breeze – though you’ll have plenty of restaurants, pubs, and cafes nearby if you don’t fancy cooking. The bedroom is cosy and attractive, with large windows that bring in plenty of light. 

London Eye

With views stretching across the Tower of London, The Shard and London Eye, this luxurious penthouse will captivate you from the moment of arrival. Soak it all in while relaxing in the living room or dining room. There are two main bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and you’ll find all the essentials you could need to make it your own. The building includes 24-hour concierge and private parking is available. Plus, it’s just a short stroll to Elephant & Castle station – ensuring quick connections with the rest of the city.
