This Battersea home is an ideal base for friends, families or business travellers on a London stay. We love the private balcony – just the spot for morning coffee as the Thames rushes by below. Comfortable, homely and with river views, you can’t fail to relax here. And locally, there’s easy access to parks, gardens, riverside eateries and promenades, so you’ll never be lost for things to do. Keen to branch out into London more? Clapham Junction tube station is a mere thirteen-minute stroll away, so hopping across the city is a breeze.

Home truths
There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home.
The bedroom curtains here don't fully block out the sunlight. If you're hoping to enjoy a lie-in, you might want to pack an eye mask.
Parking in London can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible. The closest tube station is Clapham Junction, a thirteen-minute walk away.
Your host asks that you respect quiet hours between 9pm and 8am and keep noise to a minimum.
