One well-behaved dog is welcome to accompany you during your stay.
At full occupancy, one guest will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area.
Parking in London can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.

About Wapping
Undoubtedly one of London's most atmospheric riverside areas, packed with maritime history and still retaining a real Dickensian feel to many parts of it on account of its many cobbled streets. The old wharfs and spice and tea warehouses that the area is filled with have almost all now been snapped up and converted by hip media types, wanting to live the NY-style loft dream. The area is also well-known for its many historic riverside pubs, gloriously cosy in wintertime and good for sun soaking come summertime.
