This apartment is the epitome of urban cool. We love the warehouse-inspired design – think exposed brick, large Crittall-style windows, and a mezzanine bedroom cosy enough for two. Need to work from home? There's a desk perfect for remote working. Crave a homecooked meal? The kitchen has all you need to whip up something tasty. As for the City of London location, you can't beat it. The Shard, Borough Market, and London Bridge Station are all within a ten-minute walk away.
