Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
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.

Explore Foodie Heaven at Borough Market
Worth visiting for the history and architecture alone, but you’ll never want to leave when you see the array of mouth-watering goodies on offer. The Kappacasein grilled cheese sambos are legendary.
