The Artist's Sanctuary

Balcony

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.

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.

Foodie's Paradise

Boasting an unparalleled location with Borough Market on its doorstep, this home is an incredible base for a London stay. A delightful terrace looks out over the market and offers stunning views of The Shard – it’s a splendid spot for a few drinks in warm weather. This house has everything you might need for a comfortable stay, including two reception spaces, one with a fully-equipped open-plan kitchen. There’s plenty of room for everyone to spend time together, but there are quieter corners for cosy moments too.

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

Moments from Elephant and Castle tube station, this home provides a stylish city sanctuary. Inside, you’ll find thoughtfully designed rooms bring ease to daily living, while the private garden offers a sweet spot for summer afternoon drinks. It’s well equipped for families and couples with all the essentials you could need to settle in and make it your own. There is no private parking available here, but it’s just a short walk to the nearest shops, restaurants and cafes. Plus, the close proximity to the tube station means its easy to get across London. 


The Wilder Beauty

Desk / Workplace

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

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. It’s worth noting the second bedroom is compact, but it does open up onto a private terrace – perfect for evening drinks. Outside, it’s just a short walk to iconic landmarks like Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and the Shard. There are also great public transport links and you’ll find Borough Market, historic pubs and galleries are all within easy reach. 

Lightness of Life

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 Southwark gem is steeped in history. It was built on the site of the Bear Pit, an historic animal sports venue referenced by Samuel Pepys’ diaries. It’s also just a stone’s throw from the Globe Theatre, and is close to the iconic Borough Market. The house is perfect for a group, with a vaulted living and dining area at its heart. There’s also a cinema room and a private patio nook, so you’ll have plenty of space for spending time together. Beautifully designed, this home is a striking base for a London stay. 

Bankside Paradise

Single-Level Home

An ideal base for a couple’s romantic getaway or a solo traveller visiting London, this bright and stylish flat is located within walking distance of the National Theatre, Southbank and the Houses of Parliament. You’ll feel right at home at this cosy and gorgeous pad while also being able to explore this fabulous city on foot. 

The inside will welcome you with a light-filled open-plan living room and kitchen – kick back and relax after a day of dashing about town and rustle up a light and delicious supper. Even though there's no TV here, with all the world-class entertainment at your doorstep, it’s unlikely you’ll miss it. 

For a night of restful sleep head over to the plush bedroom, where a comfy bed awaits you. Wake up reinvigorated and plan a whole new day of London adventures. Why not start with a walk by the river, before strolling across one of the iconic bridges and getting gloriously lost in the streets of the West End. 

Viv & Larry 

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.

Positioned within a gated development, this two-bedroom home will spoil you for choice. Minutes away from Tower Bridge, Tate Modern and the famous Borough market, there is no better location to explore Central London and its best landmarks. London Bridge station is also nearby, so you have excellent transport links to anywhere in the city. This is also ideal if you are a business traveller, as Canary Wharf is easy to get to and the City is even walkable.

Isaac

This home is great for people who are travelling for business or who need to carry out work remotely, as it's unfussy in terms of design but has plenty of practical space. There's an adjustable standing desk in the living area and a further desk in the master bedroom. Close to London Bridge station, you have excellent transport links to anywhere in the city, also ideal if you are working in Canary Wharf and the City is even walkable.

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.

Upon entering this three-bedroom home, you’re immediately drawn in by the breathtaking view. It's not in the most well-known part of London, but you will certainly be able to get to know the city from this home’s remarkable vista. The London Observatory views the entirety of the city, including landmarks such as the London Eye and The Shard. It's ideal for a family or a group of friends looking to stay somewhere with a difference. The home also has luxurious bathroom spaces, a modern kitchen and an in-house concierge.

The London Observatory

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.

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

Jewels of the City

The owner’s of this apartment have created the perfect city sanctuary. You’ll be welcomed by cosy rooms, a private terrace and all home comforts you could need. There’s a Nespresso machine to help get your day started and a desk for remote workers. Both bedrooms come with air-conditioning for warm weather days and the bathroom has a bath to help you switch off and unwind. Outside, it’s just a short walk to the River Thames as well as arts venues, restaurants and public transport links – making it easy to explore further afield.

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. Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament are no more than a twenty-minute mosey from your doorstep.

Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

River Thames Retreat

This cosy flat in Elephant & Castle offers all the comfort and charm you’ll need for your London adventure. Fresh and inviting, it’s the perfect base for families or friends looking to explore the capital. With convenient transport options, including the nearby underground, getting around is easy. You can even walk to lively South Bank in less than 30 minutes to experience the London Eye, Sea Life, riverside dining, and vibrant markets. We recommend a stroll along the Thames Path to take in landmarks like Big Ben, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and discover even more iconic sites along the way.



The Artistic Residence

Experience the vibrancy of the South Bank and the close access to the National Theatre with this fabulous two-bedroom apartment located minutes from the river Thames. When the sun is up, get up to the roof for the view.

A Pop of Fuschia

DVD Player

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.

The Air of Whittlesey

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

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

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

Only a stone's throw from London Bridge, get ready for a prime position in the city. This may look like just another Victorian warehouse from the outside, but the modern interior spans three floors while retaining some vintage touches. The private terrace is ideal for alfresco tea time, courtesy of the complimentary welcome pack. Though two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed, there's space to breathe in this home. But on your doorstep, you'll be treated to restaurants, sights, and plenty of public transport.

The Whistle Stop

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.

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.

Illuminate From Above

If you’re seeking a memorable stay in London, this could be the home for you. This Victorian cottage seamlessly blends traditional charm with modern interiors. With a private garden for alfresco meals, a cinema room and a library, you may find it hard to tear yourself away from this home away from home. But, if you’re able to, you’ll find a whole host of iconic London hotspots within easy reach. With easy access to the London Eye, Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Tate Modern and The Shard, to name just a few, sightseeing is a breeze – there’s something for everyone here.

Dreaming of London

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 fuss-free apartment in Waterloo is just the base for sightseeing. In fact, it's so central that you'll even get a glimpse of the London Eye from the small patio. Though the design is understated, the location certainly isn't. South Bank and the Thames are a short walk away, while Big Ben and Westminster Abbey are just across the bridge. You also have a fantastic connection to the rest of London here, thanks to the nearby Waterloo Station – if that's not the definition of convenience, we don't know what it is.
