Set on prestigious Eccleston Square in a building designed by Thomas Cubitt in 1855, this beautifully decorated apartment is all set to welcome you into a peaceful, luxurious stay. 

Period details like the parquet floors and wonderfully large windows combine with elegant Chinoiserie-inspired decor that feel immediately elegant. We love the soft pastel colours in the living room that add to the air of period lavishness and the French doors here that lead out onto a private balcony overlooking the private residents’ garden (to which you have access). Take a seat at the balcony’s table and chairs while enjoying your morning coffee or sip a sundowner here before exploring the many restaurants and pubs along Pimlico Road and Elizabeth Street (both a ten-minute walk away).

Evenings call for long soaks in the luxurious marble-framed bathtub, followed by a restful night’s sleep in the stunning bedroom with its designer wallpaper and luxuriously dressed bed. 

When it comes to sightseeing nearby, you couldn’t be better placed to enjoy some of the city’s finest culture, entertainment and shopping. Buckingham Palace and Chelsea’s King’s Road are both a fifteen-minute walk away, Harrods department store is a twenty-minute stroll, Westminster Abbey and Big Ben are under twenty-five minutes away on foot and Victoria’s theatres are walkable in five.

Start your morning with a cup of tea at the glass dining table, then set off for a day of work or play in the Old Smoke. You’re within easy reach of a whole host of attractions here, so why not make the most of it? Pay Ophelia a visit at Tate Britain, catch a game of cricket at The Oval, or jump on the Tube at Pimlico and embark on a whistle-stop tour of London’s most iconic sights via the Victoria line. 

When you’ve had your fill of being out and about, head back to your gorgeous home from home and settle in for an evening of relaxation with all your favourite people. Throw on a film in the living room, cook up a storm in the fully equipped kitchen, or treat yourself to an early night in your cosy bedroom. Whatever your mood, this place has got you covered.

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

Located in well-heeled Pimlico, this one-storey home places London at your doorstep. Despite being at the basement level, the apartment lets in plenty of sunlight – the perfect accompaniment to the uncluttered, minimalist interior. There's bed space for six here, although the living space only has comfortable seating for four, and the dining table fits the same number. That said, with three bathrooms, morning routines will be seamless – you'll be out the door sooner, heading towards the nearby Pimlico tube station that opens up the city to you.

Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

Enjoy whipping up your lover’s favourite foods on the black countertops in the kitchen before dining in the light-filled living room – think whitewashed walls, wooden floors and chic, neutral soft furnishings.  Cosy up on the sofa or, if necessary, catch up on a few emails whilst sat at the window-facing desk.

Fifteen minutes on foot from Buckingham Palace and ten from Victoria Station, this charming townhouse is well-placed to explore London. It's an ideal base for friends or families with children above the age of 10, though four floors of living space means there'll be plenty of steps to climb. Our favourite feature is the private patio, where you can sip cocktails and tuck into an alfresco dinner as the sun goes down. Prefer to dine out, instead? You'll find an array of restaurants on your doorstep, ranging from Mexican fare and dim sum to cosy gastropubs.

Regency Rhapsody

This apartment provides a great solution for a well-connected city escape. From here, it’s just a fifteen-minute stroll to Sloane Square and the King’s Road, while Pimlico Underground Station is also a quick walk away – making it easy to travel across the city. It’s worth noting this home is located on the third floor with no lift access, but once inside you’ll find a calm and refreshing space to unwind.

Sip Champagne from the private, sunny terrace of this Pimlico home on a warm summer evening, and take in the views over the neighbourhood – it's a fabulous spot to relax.
 
Inside, you'll find an 'upside-down' layout, featuring an open-plan kitchen and living space on the top floor, with the two bedrooms located on the level below. Keen virtuosos can tinkle the ivories on the electric piano in the living room or simply relax on one of the sofas. We particularly like the second bedroom with its French farmhouse chic design.
 

 Situated in this exclusive, village-like neighbourhood, you won't have to go far to dine out as there is an excellent choice of eateries in the street below. A wide range of attractions can also be found nearby. 
 

 Buckingham Palace is a twenty-minute walk or ten-minute drive, and it's the same driving distance to Harrods. If you love art, the iconic Tate Britain is just a ten-minute stroll. Or scenic walks can be enjoyed in St James' Park, just over a ten-minute saunter from this lovely home.

Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

Rooftop Terrace

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

On a quiet street in Pimlico, you’ll feel a world away from central London in this third-floor flat. Bright and white, the simple contemporary decor fills the space with a sense of calm that feels like a soothing balm from the hustle and bustle of the city’s sights nearby. Step out onto the cheerful, west-facing balcony for a morning cup of tea with views over the rooftops before setting off to explore the city. Though compact, this home offers everything you need to make yourself right at home. With Victoria tube station just over a 10-minute walk away and plenty of iconic sights like the Thames and Tate Britain within walking distance, this is the perfect home for those wanting to be well-connected to the heart of the city while enjoying a relaxing, peaceful getaway.

This spectacular London townhouse is central enough to share a postcode with the King (Buckingham Palace is just a ten-minute walk). Yet, the laid-back, village-like atmosphere of Pimlico means that it's perfectly suited to a family getaway in the heart of the capital. Throughout, you'll find ornate ceilings, marble fireplaces, elegant chandeliers and period fireplaces, alongside all the mod cons. The kitchen is the beating heart of this home, with its gas range, open-plan dining area and access to a suntrap terrace perfect for summer evenings. But that's not the only outdoor space – this home is also blessed with a balcony. Netflix and board games are provided for little ones, too. When the urge to explore strikes, there are plenty of scenic paths running along the Thames and through nearby parks (St James's, Battersea, and Hyde parks are all around a twenty-minute walk) while the shopping hotspots of Covent Garden, Oxford St and Harrods are all a short Tube ride away. And if you fancy a swim or a quick workout, you'll find an excellent sports centre with a gym and multiple pools just two minutes from your front door.

Expect to be based in a great Westminster location within a secure gated complex in this modern mews home. You have the use of a car park as well as a private terrace which are both rarities in this area. The space is more functional than characterful and you can tell this is not a lived home. The furnishings are smart and well finished and will suit guests who place more importance on location and convenience rather than charm and character.  


Regency Mews V

You'll find this home in the heart of Pimlico, just a ten-minute walk from Victoria Station and Pimlico Underground. As far as locations go, you can't get much better – Sloane Square, the Saatchi Gallery and Tate Britain are all nearby. This apartment has everything you need for a relaxing stay – from a modern kitchen to a cosy bedroom and a bathtub for a post-sightseeing soak. The dining table is in the living area, so some might find it a little compact, though there are plenty of cafes and eateries to make the most of right on your doorstep.

Artful Splendour

This Pimlico home marries traditional character with all the modern comforts you'd want on a trip to London. There's even a small private garden where you can enjoy morning teas and sundowners. Back inside, the cosy living area leads onto an alcove with a desk – perfect for home working – and the well-stocked kitchen makes home cooking a breeze. Location-wise, you'll have the Royal Parks, River Thames and Sloane Square within easy reach. Cricket fans can watch a game at the Oval just across the river. Culture vultures, meanwhile, can browse the galleries in Tate Britain, a short stroll away.

Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

Pimlico Garden

You’ll find this apartment in vibrant Victoria, in a historic building – once a drill hall – that’s been beautifully refurbished. The apartment boasts greenhouse-style ceilings so the open-plan space is flooded with light. There’s a mezzanine level with a workspace and a yoga area, and a balcony. The bedrooms share the same brand of mattress found in Buckingham Palace, and the kitchen has everything you’ll need to feel at home, including an espresso machine. From this charming apartment, you can walk to Tate Britain for a spot of culture. 

Greenhouse Light

A minute’s walk from the river, this beautiful maisonette is a haven of luxury and calm. Light, spacious and airy, this two bedroom apartment marries the best of Pimlico's charms to treat you to a world of elegance and comfort.

Safe Harbour

Courtyard

Stylish and contemporary, this apartment lies on the lower-ground level of a townhouse. Both bedrooms enjoy en-suites, and the cosy outdoor space lets you sit outside with a cup of tea or a light lunch and listen to the sounds of the city. Little ones under the age of three aren't permitted here, but we think it's ideal for friend groups or business trips. The location places you within easy reach of public transport and some of London's most iconic attractions. Whether you're strolling along the River Thames, discovering the vibrant local dining scene, or exploring the nearby Tate Britain, there's plenty to do.

The Rose Tattoo

Barbeque

Inside, you'll find five floors offering plenty of chill-out space as well as a home office and a fitness room for exercise enthusiasts. You can also enjoy access to a range of extra services during your stay – including private chefs and wellness treatments. 

Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

Velvet Touches

This cosy apartment brings comfort and ease to the heart of London. From here, you can stroll to Victoria Station in just ten-minutes – providing great connections with the rest of the city. You can also walk to local restaurants, shops and iconic sights like Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and Tate Britain. Back at home, you’ll find the versatile living space works perfectly for lazy evenings or catch up work sessions. The style is simple but it’s well-equipped with all the basics you could need for a relaxing stay. 


The Freya 

You'll find this ground-floor apartment nestled among Pimlico's pretty white-washed houses. With Tate Britain, Victoria Station, and the Thames all within walking distance, it's hard to fault the location – there's plenty to see and do both near and far. Some may find the interiors here a little too traditional, but we think they're cosy. The window in the living space lets in a lot of natural light – though it does look onto the street – and the kitchen has all you need to rustle up meals. Factor in the sumptuous main suite and you can see why it caught our eye.

Pimlico Place

This family home in Pimlico is a feast for the senses, with its eye-catching colour combinations, double-height ceilings, and eclectic style. It’s been designed with an eco-friendly and sustainable approach to interior design, and the result is a quirky abode packed full of charm. There are vintage pieces dotted throughout, and balconies at the front and rear of the home. Excellent transport links mean getting around London is a breeze, and you’ll be within walking distance of Belgravia and its top-notch dining-out scene. What more could you ask for?

Pimlico Pad

With wonderful views of London’s skyline from its wraparound terrace – this impressive apartment situated between chic Pimlico and Victoria is a real find. Enjoy an alfresco breakfast or a glass of Champagne as the sun sets. This stylish abode has been renovated to an exceptional standard, with exquisite furnishings. Mirroring the glamorous black and white movie star prints dotted around – we love this home’s monochrome scheme. This place is perfect for a group of friends or a discerning family wanting a central base to discover the delights of London.

Notable residents in this charming area have included actor Laurence Olivier and former Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill. Many of the streets in the neighbourhood were laid down by master builder Thomas Cubitt, now protected as the Pimlico Conservation Area. There are plenty of fine dining options nearby, including a Michelin starred restaurant, an eight-minute stroll away. Spend an afternoon browsing the interior design, art and antique boutiques on Pimlico Road, a ten-minute saunter. Westminster Abbey and the renowned Saatchi Gallery are both twenty minutes on foot. Or, if you want to explore the rest of London, Victoria Station is a mere six-minute saunter.


Chic Victoria

It could be said that London is a city of many villages. And while they may have been separate entities at one point in the past, they have been swallowed up as the city has expanded. However, many of these villages retain their own unique charm, and the area around Pimlico is one of our favourites.

An elegant stucco-fronted exterior reveals a two-bedroom apartment with plenty of period charm that's sure to help you settle quickly into your new surroundings. Thanks to its lower ground floor location, the flat benefits from that all-too-rare of London amenities – outdoor space. The quaint courtyard is lined with trees, potted plants and a table and chairs – perfect for a mid-afternoon cuppa or an aperitif at the end of the day. Elsewhere, a compact kitchen includes everything you could need to whip up delicious meals at home, while both bedrooms benefit from comfortable mattresses and direct access to the outdoors.

The apartment places you within a fifteen-minute walk of Pimlico, Victoria and Sloane Square Tube stations, with plenty of bus routes passing nearby too. This network of public transport options provides you with access to everywhere from South Kensington to Soho, within approximately half an hour.

Passport to Pimlico

If your address didn’t confirm that you’re in central London, you’d think this tranquil home was plumb in the heart of the countryside. The interiors ooze pastoral charm – expect landscape paintings adorning the walls, botanical patterns, vintage furnishings and a characterful solid oak kitchen. Sunlight pools in the living space; nestle among the cushions on the plump L-shaped sofa and bask in the warmth. Should you start to get peckish, knock up drool-worthy dishes and dig in at the vintage dining table. After a glass of wine and a long, hot soak in the roll top bath, the luxe king-size bed dressed in crisp linens awaits. When it’s time to embrace the buzz, nearby Pimlico Road tempts with its knockout selection of restaurants and antique shops. Consider historic and contemporary art at the Tate Britain – a twenty-minute walk away – or hop on the tube at Pimlico station and arrive at the iconic Oxford Street in less than ten minutes.

Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

Crisp White Linen

You'll find this top-floor apartment in a former drill hall in the heart of Victoria. The location is excellent for first-time tourists and seasoned visitors alike. Many landmarks are within walking distance – including Tate Britain, Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, and Buckingham Palace – while nearby Victoria Station offers swift connections to the rest of London. There isn't a lift in the building, but being on the top level means you can access a private balcony. It's the ideal spot to unwind outdoors, though the bright living area and three comfortable bedrooms are also prime places to relax.

Pimlico Prince

If you'd prefer a day of culture, various museums are dotted around South Kensington, just minutes away on the underground. Satisfy your historical thirst at the V&A Museum before taking a stroll along the picturesque setting of Southbank.

With its laid-back village feel, leafy garden squares and proximity to central London, the neighbourhood of Pimlico provides an idyllic location for exploring the city. Here, red-brick townhouses, upmarket boutiques and storied pubs line the handsome streets, and the renowned Tate Britain art gallery perches proudly by the Thames. You'll find this lavish home nestled in the heart of Pimlico, just steps from Victoria Station. A tempting array of cafés, bars and eateries are right on your doorstep, while Buckingham Palace, Westminster Cathedral and Big Ben are all fifteen minutes away on foot.

This home is an ideal base for families and groups of friends. Inside, it's a pleasing combination of white walls, hardwood floors and large windows, beckoning sunlight to flood the space. The decor oozes style, complemented by modern fittings. We love the open-plan lounge and fully-equipped kitchen, providing ample space to relax. The real treat, though, is the balcony. Gather here in the mornings for quick coffees before slipping out for breakfast and a stroll through St James' Park.

On a pretty, shop-lined street in Pimlico, this two bedroom maisonette spans three floors and offers a refined, genteel place to stay, less than ten minutes away from Victoria station.

The Aristo

Lift Access

Wheelchair Access

Fancy staying within walking distance of London's best-known sights, including Big Ben and Buckingham Palace? Pubs and eateries surround this Westminster apartment, but you might prefer to dine in the on-site Indian restaurant. Here, on the second floor, you'll have a cosy setting to make plans in. Handy for remote workers, there's a desk in the bedroom too. While the balcony is a little overlooked by your neighbours and only seats two, we love the outdoor space as a bonus for sipping sundowners.

The Gilded Light

Tucked away in the affluent borough of Pimlico, this vibrant apartment connects you to some of the most iconic London landmarks. Westminister Abbey, for one, is only an eleven-minute stroll away and whatever you can't walk to, you can find at the other end of a train or bus journey – the station is seven minutes from your doorstep. The bold colour palette here might not work for everyone, but this home is comfortable and well-equipped despite being small. Ideal for couples or solo explorers, it will work well for business trips, too. 

The Pimlico Lime

With enough space for a small family or friends, this apartment places you in the heart of London. You'll find yourself a short walk from the sights of Westminster, including Buckingham Palace and Hyde Park, and nearby to Victoria tube station, connecting you to the likes of Kensington and Covent Garden via the Circle and District Underground lines. While the classic design may not be for everyone, we think the antique furnishings gives the home a unique appeal. Take the grand piano, for example – it's not every day you get to hone your musical skills when staying in a rental home.

Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

An Instant Classic

Balcony / Patio

This home has been decorated with a personal touch, with lots of tactile soft furnishings in bold colours and patterns. Being a basement flat, it doesn't have masses of light but the charming decor is uplifting and makes up for the lack of light. The semi-covered patio area, accessible via the bedroom, offers an alfresco dining option come the summer months and the vaulted kitchen is a unique feature. All in all, this is a well-sized apartment for two guests in a strongly connected part of London.
