This unique, self-built home in Brockley starts to put on a show the moment guests walk down the quiet mews street on which it hides away. The striking rust-coloured and geometric exterior embraces industrial-chic trends, but it gives no indication of the sophisticated interior that lies behind the front door. Step inside and you'll find a magazine-worthy home where natural light is allowed to pour in through the glass doors and skylights, and colourful pieces of original artwork arranged tastefully about the place grab your attention. The furnishings are mainly mid-century and Scandinavian in inspiration, while the surfaces on the black kitchen are as sleek as they come. One of our favourite parts has to be the outside terrace, though, where a landscape gardener has packed plant beds full of native New Zealand plants and brings a touch of wilderness to this corner of South London. As only feels appropriate for this stylish home, it's located in and close to some of London's trendiest neighbourhoods, nestled in the trifecta of Lewisham, New Cross and Peckham.

Cross the gangplank onto this incredible floating home near the Thames. Moored just a couple of blocks from Tower Bridge, this former 1930s steel barge is a ten-minute walk from the Tower of London. The top deck has been converted into a long, open living space with views of St Katharine Docks Marina from the huge windows. We love the semi-outdoor dining room, housed in a glass atrium-style space to the rear of the ship, with seating for ten. Choose to relax in the stylish white lounge on the upper deck, or head downstairs to the snug with its u-shaped sofa around a striking suspended fireplace. Bedrooms are on the lower deck, but that doesn’t mean dark cabins with tiny portholes. Spacious rooms have walls of windows and if there are portholes, they’re the size of a bass drum, letting in tonnes of natural light. If you manage to bag the master bedroom, its en-suite comes with a sauna. Welcome aboard, matey!

The apartment is modern and sleek, with high-end appliances and amenities to make your stay all the more comfortable – in winter, the underfloor heating is a real bonus. Two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living space, but for these views, we can easily forgive that.

Not far from Burgess Park, you'll find easy transport links nearby to take you to the city centre. This colourful home welcomes up to six guests, with two sleeping on a sofa bed in the open-plan living area.

Foodies will love this modern apartment mere moments from Borough Market. Known for its impressive street food vendors and coveted culinary scene, this is the place to be if you’re looking to sample some of London’s best bites. You’re also just a stone’s throw from Tower Bridge, the Thames, and London Bridge Station for quick connections across the city. As for the apartment itself, the contemporary design is comfortable and sleek. One bedroom boasts an en-suite while the other offers river views. Just note that two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the living room, and the area is prone to occasional noise from nearby trains – all part and parcel of central living.

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.

This has got to be one of the most amazing views in London. Moored near Tower Bridge on the Thames’ south bank, this stunning home is the former 'HMS Harpy’. Once an Edwardian base for customs and excise officers, and a landing stage for King George V, it’s now a unique and beautifully maintained floating home. The oldest and one of the largest homes on the river, The Harpy is unlike purpose-built houseboats – all the cabins are above water level with river views. History fans and nautical nuts will have plenty to get their teeth into, those interested in luxury river living will appreciate the opportunity to sit out on deck, and if vintage furniture is your thing you'll be able to explore pieces from the 1920s, '30s, and '50s. The dining table was even designed for Winston Churchill's home, Chartwell. We love the vast living space on the upper deck – it's bright, comfortable, and full of character. Bedrooms and bathrooms are nostalgic and the kitchen is well fitted out for cooking onboard. There's mains electricity, obviously, as well as mains gas for heating and cooking, and filtered mains water. All the mod cons are present too, from Wifi and Sky Q TV to gate entry phones and Sonos. So well-known that it's been featured in several movies (most notably A Fish Called Wanda), a stay here is an all-round incredible experience and one you'll be talking about for years to come.

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

Rooftop Terrace

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. 

Belong To Me

It's easy to forget you're in a bustling city at this trendy apartment. From the living room, you'll enjoy endless green views thanks to its position on the edge of leafy Southwark Park. But inside this home is all about sleek city-style, from the glass dining table to the leather armchair. You'll enjoy cooking in the large kitchen, and in the evening unwind on the plush sofa in front of the TV. The best bit is definitely the outdoor space – rare for a London apartment. Enjoy your coffee on the terrace, catching the morning light through the surrounding trees. And this place is just a ten-minute walk from Bermondsey tube station, where you can visit sights like Borough Market and Tower Bridge, and easily head further afield.

Parklife Modern

Paid Parking

Paid Parking On Premises

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

Parking On Premises

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. It’s also possible to walk to South Bank and Borough Market in just twenty-minutes. 

Wonder of London

Record Player

Situated in the city's heart, this warehouse conversion has a fabulous address just off Bermondsey Street, so it's a short stroll from some of London's most iconic landmarks. We're talking London Bridge, The Shard (the capital’s tallest building), the historic Borough Market and the River Thames. Add to this, plenty of restaurants, cafes and bars, and you have the perfect location.

Here at Plum Guide, we love a bit of industrial chic, and this apartment certainly doesn't disappoint. There are exposed beams, stripped-back brick walls and a sleek kitchenette hidden by rolling-back wooden doors.
 

 Pour a glass of wine and relax on the yellow armchair or comfy sofa, surrounded by vibrant art. Through the Crittall-style doors, you'll find the main bedroom with its super king-sized bed. The second bedroom has a retro record player, so put some vinyl on and unwind before heading out for the evening.

Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

Warehouse Wonders

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

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.

Chalk & Brick

Situated along the River Thames, this apartment is a great spot if you’re looking for a quieter base for your London stay. You’re just a five-minute walk from Rotherhithe Overground station, with direct trains to Highbury & Islington, Dalston, and Shoreditch. Canada Water is also nearby, offering easy access to Canary Wharf in just ten minutes. Inside, this is a comfortable space for a small group or family to unwind after a day in the city, with a modern kitchen and a cosy living area for relaxed nights in. And while the neighbourhood is less bustling, riverside pubs and cafes along the Thames Path are just around the corner.

Thames Tideway

If you're looking for a trendy place to relax and unwind that's still just a short hop away from the city sights, then this home fits the bill. Located in Bermondsey, on the edge of tranquil Southwark Park, you're just 10 minutes by tube from London Bridge. Enjoy your morning coffee on the balcony each morning, as you plan your day. The floor-to-ceiling glass windows let plenty of light into the living room, and you'll enjoy cooking meals in the fully-equipped kitchen. Though you can explore all of London in no time at all from nearby Bermondsey tube station, don't miss your chance to enjoy the local area too. Maltby Street Market is a South London must-visit, where you can browse the stalls before sipping a G&T in a historic pub overlooking the Thames.

At the Bandstand

Baby Bath

When you're sitting amidst the earthy tones and quiet calmness of the garden, you won't believe you're in the City of London. The idyllic space has a relaxed serenity that belies its central location. 

Spend cosy mornings here with a coffee, slowly waking up with the city around you. In the evenings, fire up the BBQ and gather around the cute table, sharing bites of grilled burgers and bottles of crisp wine. 

When the weather's not on your side, move into the chic style of your home. The earthy palette continues throughout the open plan living room and kitchen – light, brown shades mingle with the pure white tones on the walls and kitchen counter. 

There's even paintings of floral and natural themes – alongside a catalogue of plants –  to further the earthy energy. A sofa and straw chair present cosy places to relax, or you can perch at the breakfast bar with a selection of toast and jams. 

For more intimate dining, share snacks and a bottle of wine on the circular dining table. But, since you're so close to various pubs, bars and restaurants, you may as well sample the local joints. We suggest the pretty pubs and bars around St Katharine's Docks for good food with a picturesque view.


Coming of Age

Security System

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

A mere stone’s throw from vibrant Bermondsey Street, this warehouse conversion places the city of London in the palm of your hand. Packed full of character, we love the exposed beams and brickwork in this home. And with views of the Shard, you’ll soon be eager to get out and explore. Locally, you’ll find a plethora of boutiques, eateries and galleries on your doorstep, while iconic London landmarks such as Tower Bridge are a leisurely stroll away. Whether you’re in the capital for business or pleasure, this home has you covered. 

Woven Shard

Fenced Property

Sun Umbrellas

Alarm System

This modern home has a neutral and minimalistic style that will suit those who like their spaces clean and uncluttered. It’s a new building, so it’s been thoughtfully designed, with a surplus of natural light and brightness. But the star of the show here is that all-too-rare of London amenities, an outside space. We can think of nothing better than a balmy summer evening spent out in your private garden with friends or family. On top of that, you'll find a charming little balcony from the master bedroom to sip your morning coffee and ease into the day. Inside, it's a picture of pearly white furnishings, sleek surfaces and monochromatic artwork. You'll notice cream sofas, ghost chairs and a large ornate mirror in the bedrooms, creating an air of elegance around the home. Plus, there's a light and tidy study area for those looking to work from home during their stay. Outside, we really liked the home’s location – the top attractions on picturesque Bermondsey Street are just a five-minute walk away. Although the real highlight is the home's proximity to London Bridge – under twenty minutes (on foot) from The Shard and the surrounding hub, full to the brim with fine-dine restaurants and hip bars. 

Iced Latte

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

There's nowhere better for foodies in London than Borough Market, and a stay at this home puts you just five minutes away from its famed restaurants and traders. Across three floors, there are a lot of steps to traverse inside, but you're rewarded with a spacious kitchen and a rooftop terrace – a rarity in a home this central. Each bedroom offers plenty of storage to help you settle in, with the bonus of a small desk area for working travellers. You're in the perfect location for exploring Southbank, with Tate Modern and the National Theatre within walking distance, but it's also easy to hop on the tube at London Bridge station.

Borough Skyline

Bathrobes

Exercise Equipment

Breakfast Included

This bohemian and wonderfully crafted space is a unique home. Designed around a thematic narrative that threads its way from the Parisian-looking kitchen to the staircase made from vintage drawers. It's also more than just a home and will feel like a restorative sanctuary thanks to the bespoke optional services that are available – from beauty therapy, vitamin infusion with a Harley Street doctor and even Chinese acupuncture. You're well-connected to wider London, with London Bridge station and the bustling Borough Market on your doorstep.

The Artist's Sanctuary

Mentioned in the Domesday Book, painted by Turner and within earshot of the bells of Mary-le-Bow church – and thus considered Cockney by many – the London enclave of Bermondsey remains close to the action. A five-minute walk to Canada Water station will see you quickly shopping or attending a meeting in Docklands or the City, while the nightlife and galleries of the East End and countless shops of the West End are within easy reach, too – as is the River Thames. Sipping your tea (milk and sugar optional) on the balcony, cast your eye over the treetops and church towers of South-east London, or spot the angled towers and domes created by London’s architectural innovators through the centuries. Alternatively, relax in the light and bright modern sitting room and enjoy the flat-screen TV and fast internet access. This apartment in a new-build block has everything you need to work remotely, plus a fully equipped kitchen and two double bedrooms. Why not bring the whole family? There’s a cot provided, and the flat is under an enhanced cleaning regime. This is a designated executive flat, ideal for preparing for business meetings or sightseeing. Whatever you're in town for, make the most of your trip from this surprisingly secluded and quiet Bermondsey base.

Central Seclusion

Playstation

Mini Bar

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

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. 

The Borough Bridge

Whether you’re on a sightseeing adventure or a productive work trip, this apartment welcomes you to enjoy it all in comfort and style. There’s a private rooftop terrace with impressive views and outdoor seating for warm weather drinks. Inside, the open-plan layout makes it easy to relax, cook, disconnect or catch up on work. You’ll find it’s well-equipped and your host can help organise extras like housekeeping and private transfers. And when it comes to adventures, it’s just a short walk to Borough Market and London Bridge, while the close proximity to public transport ensures quick links with the rest of the city.

River Light

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

This apartment is a comfortable and elegant home-from-home in the heart of London. Ideally located for business and leisure, with excellent transport links, this is a practical base. You can walk to Borough Market, London Bridge, and the Tate Modern, and there are plenty of restaurants and shops nearby. The apartment has been meticulously designed – you’ll have everything you need, including a well-equipped kitchen, a workspace, and a peaceful bedroom. At full occupancy, one guest will sleep on a sofa bed in the living space, which might be better suited to short stays.
