Not every apartment has a private balcony facing The Shard. A fuss-free base, this modern home is ideal for travellers looking to put the iconic Tate Modern and the famous Borough Food Market within walking distance. While cultural gems are dotted around your doorstep, London Bridge tube station is just five minutes away for easy commutes. It's perfect for couples, but the sofa bed extends an invitation to guests three and four. Plus, we love the bathtub for evening chillouts.

This three-floor home combines a film-set location with space, soul and style. Very recognisably ‘London’, this classically terraced street has played a starring role in many a movie and TV series. The same goes for the South Bank riverside walkway, lined with trees, historic pubs and restaurants, a few minutes away, along with the National Theatre, Tate Modern and London Eye. Inside, the house impresses with its many distinct spaces, from a beckoning kitchen to the decked garden. We especially loved slumbering in the two luxury bedrooms, where goose down duvets rest atop memory foam mattresses. You're well served for public transport links, with Southwark and Waterloo stations both within a five-minute walk, as well as several convenient bus routes to whisk you into Central in under fifteen minutes.

Fall in love with this former warehouse, promising views of Borough Market and the Shard while you dine alfresco. Though the main bedroom wows us, some may wish to step around the glass panels on the floor. Plus, guests staying in bedrooms two and three might bump into each other in their shared en-suite. Dotted with accents reminiscent of its Victorian heritage, you'll find two living areas here – ideal for extended families. Restaurants and attractions are a stone's throw away, and London Bridge station can take you further afield.

Welcome Hamper

This stunning Victorian warehouse has been converted into a stylish, vibrant home in Borough, one of London’s most interesting neighbourhoods. You’ll be just a short stroll from Borough Market, as well as being next to Southwark Cathedral and Clink Street. For exploration further afield, you need only walk 190 metres to London Bridge station to hop on the Jubilee Line. We love the terrace, from which you can admire the Shard, and the quirky, colourful decor. There are lots of stairs to climb so it won’t be suitable for everyone, but if you can manage them, you’ll be rewarded with one of the coolest bases in Borough.

This stylish, couple's hideaway, housed in a Victorian warehouse, in a cobbled courtyard in Central London, is just over a five-minute walk from The Shard. For artisan produce, head to one of the city's largest and oldest food markets, Borough Market, a four-minute wander. If you love art, the Tate Modern is ten minutes on foot, while one of London's most iconic landmarks, Tower Bridge, is under a twenty-minute saunter. Of course, there are plenty of restaurants and chic bars on your doorstep in this desirable location – there's even a historic wine bar one-minute away. You don't have to go anywhere, though, to admire Britain's tallest building – The Shard is thrillingly visible from your bedroom window. We love the designer furniture here, from the Isamu Noguchi coffee table and Eames chairs to the Italian suede sofa – all shown off to perfection by the walnut floors and exposed brick walls. Pour a glass of Champagne and survey the city from the Juliet balcony, then whip up some dinner in the sleek kitchen. We were surprised how tranquil this sunny home is, given its fabulous location – it’s a quiet haven after all that sightseeing.

Shard View

Foodies, rejoice – this home puts Borough Market on your doorstep. The area is rife with gourmet merchants, cosy gastropubs, and independent eateries. Keen on sightseeing? The Shard, the Thames, and Tower Bridge are within walking distance, while nearby London Bridge Station offers excellent transport links. The home consists of two separate apartments – although it won't suit everyone, there's plenty of space. In addition to a bedroom and a bathroom, each flat has its own kitchen and living space (just note that one is smaller). The cherry on top is the terrace overlooking the Shard – the perfect spot to nibble on goodies you got at the market.

Lift Access

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

DVD Library

With its eclectic interiors, impressive views and central location, this apartment appeals on so many fronts. Starting outside, you'll find yourself in the epicentre of London's iconic sights, with a bevvy of quintessential pubs and high-end restaurants around you, we'd be spoilt for choice come dinner time. For daytime touristy trips, take just a ten-minute walk to Tower Bridge and be at St. Paul's Cathedral in eighteen minutes by tube. With so much to see and do, you'll need a cosy place to retreat to after wandering the city. Fortunately, we really love the modern playfulness and vibrancy of this industrial-chic apartment. Stepping in to look around the decor, you'll notice colourful wallpapers, neon lights and tasteful adornments – it's clear your host has a keen eye for detail. Reflecting the area's industrial edge, the living space is cleverly designed across two levels with sleek glass bannisters, light wood and high ceilings. If you're working from home during your stay, we could think of no better place for powering through than the super-stylish and clutter-free office space. Those after a gentler start will find the cosy corner to be perfectly suited for morning coffee and catching up on literature. Last but not least, the home boasts an incredible view of The Shard that's too good to miss.

Neon Melody

You'll find this Kennington townhome just a fifteen-minute walk from The Oval. Even if you're not in town for cricket, the Tube is only a short walk away and connects you with London's many hotspots. Back home, the design merges contemporary features with traditional charm. There's plenty of space to unwind in the lounge, while the kitchen is fitted with all the must-haves. Each room is bright and relatively roomy, though we think the fourth is a better fit for children. Outside, a private garden is ideal for relaxing in the fresh air.

Round the Wicket

Moments from the banks of the River Thames, this Southwark apartment has been thoughtfully curated as a city sanctuary. Inside, the open-plan design makes it easy to relax, cook or catch up on work.

This former pub has been transformed into a chic homestead ideal for London getaways. Modern touches abound here – there's an egg-shaped barbecue on the private terrace, an exercise room with a Peloton, or chef-grade kitchen appliances ideal for keen cooks. One of the bedrooms is a tad snug, but we think that's a worthwhile trade, especially in such a central location. Elephant & Castle Station is less than ten minutes on foot, while sightseeing hotspots like the South Bank, Westminster, and Buckingham Palace are also within easy reach. Your host is also happy to arrange any services or extras you may need, from pre-arrival groceries to bespoke London experiences.

The Chameleon

Wine Cooler

From the vibrant artwork to the glass roof and sleek black kitchen, this place is sure to catch your eye. The living area is a celebration of texture and colour – we particularly loved the abstract print that hangs above the soft leather sofa. After a lively breakfast and catch up around the dining table, find a spot to relax with a title from the bookcase. In the afternoon, loll about in your private garden – a rare treat in London. Get the barbecue going and relax with a glass of your favourite tipple. If you’ve energy to expend, there are tennis courts at Archbishop’s Park, a five-minute walk away. Or, why not take a stroll along the Thames? Cross over Westminster Bridge to be among the city’s most recognisable sights.

River Thames Retreat

Groups of friends will have plenty of space to stretch out in this five-floor townhouse. We love the jewel-toned sitting room, with its bay window and sumptuous sofas, though the main suite upstairs (complete with a rolltop bath) is also a favourite. Even better, a walled garden out back is the perfect spot to sip sundowners and discuss your itinerary. If sightseeing is on the cards, Tower Bridge and the Tower of London are about thirty minutes on foot, while nearby Borough Market is a can't-miss for foodies. The nearest Tube station is just over a ten-minute walk away – or there's a parking space available if you'd prefer to drive.

By Grace

Let's not beat around the bush – we love this apartment because of the spectacular views. What it lacks in home comforts, it makes up for with panoramas spanning across the whole of London. Floor-to-ceiling windows put the scenery front and centre, but the balcony takes the cake for the best vantage point. After all, nothing beats a sundowner with a view of the Shard and Canary Wharf. The design is ultra-contemporary, if a little uninspired, but the location is spot-on. Foodies will love being a short walk from Borough Market and the area's trendy eateries, while the nearby Tube makes exploring the city an absolute breeze.

A New View

A comfy top-floor apartment amid the hustle and bustle of London Bridge. Though this is a studio, the clever segregation of areas effects a spacious feel, emphasised by bright white walls. Design books, unusual lights and kooky clocks add style, and the newly refurbished bathroom and kitchen are sleek and fresh. As for the location, it’s perfect for business travellers and tourists alike. You’re close to the South Bank riverside, to Bermondsey’s cool restaurants and micro-breweries, to foodie Borough Market and to London Bridge station and Underground. 

Tooley Studio

This modern apartment ticks all the boxes for a central stay. The contemporary design is ultra-cool, with plenty of space across the bedrooms and living area to settle in. Want to make the most of summer weather? Pad out to the private balcony, the perfect spot to enjoy a coffee or cocktail in the fresh air. You'll also have access to the building's shared co-working space and communal gym. As for location, Elephant and Castle is incredibly well-connected. Borough Market is about a ten-minute stroll away, while a Tube station is even closer for those keen to explore London.

Elevated Style

Housed in a former stable building in Southwark, this quirky home is full of characterful curiosities and charming original features – like the kitchen’s repurposed tie points once used for horses. With its high ceilings, A-frame windows and eclectic art featured in every room, you’ll have plenty to marvel at whether you’re in the large open living room or tucked away in the mezzanine bedroom. While the giant stuffed gorilla perched above the living space is an immediate eye-catcher, our favourite feature of this home has to be the rooftop terrace. Whether you start your mornings off here with a coffee or spend sunsets around its table and chairs over drinks, you’ll feel on top of the world in this secluded spot. When you’re not out sampling Borough Market’s international food stalls, visiting the towering Shard or admiring art at the Tate Modern – all within walking distance – enjoy a quiet hour or two in the study with a good book or kick back in the living room (under King Kong’s watchful eye) with a glass of wine and your favourite tunes on the Sonos sound system. Cook up dinner on the impressive Mercury range cooker, enjoy a final tipple on the terrace, then finish the night off with a soak in the Jacuzzi tub. 


The Fay Wray

Fireplace

Give central London living a whirl at this elegant townhouse, perched along a smart leafy street in Waterloo and just a short walk from the Tube station. Beautifully unfolding over four floors, you'll find three bedrooms as light-filled and stylish as the next and two sitting rooms to relax in. Outside, the private terrace garden is the perfect zen retreat, complete with a wood-fired barbecue for alfresco evening meals. And the top-floor balcony leading off the main bedroom is a bonus. Light sleepers may want to bring earplugs as you can hear the nearby Tube Depot from early morning until late at night, but we'll take that for a home this central.

Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

Townhouse Elegance

This nautical-themed apartment is a perfect base for a central London stay. It’s just a stone’s throw from Borough Market and a short walk from Bermondsey Street with its coffee shops and pubs. Just behind this home is Borough Yards, a shopping and dining spot transformed from railway arches. The apartment boasts a sleek kitchen – not that you’ll need to cook, with so many eateries nearby. At full occupancy, one guest will sleep on a sofa bed, so if you’re looking for more privacy and space, we’d stick to a guest count of two. 

The Maritime Muse

Games Console

Games Room

Spread across two floors, this apartment is perfect for larger groups. We love that there are two lounges here – one of them even has a gaming console, books, and board games ideal for entertaining little ones. The cherry on top is the private terrace, which isn't the biggest but still makes a sweet spot to enjoy an alfresco aperitif. Work-from-home gear like folding desks can also be arranged if you're travelling on business. Location-wise, Elephant and Castle is a prime spot to kickstart your sightseeing. The London Eye is a thirty-minute walk away, while the nearby Tube has adventures further afield covered.
