Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This stylish apartment is perfectly positioned to explore London. It's right in the city, an easy walk from well-connected transport links, the Tower of London, and Tower Bridge. The design is modern but comfortable. You'll find a desk in the living area if remote working is on the agenda, as well as a slightly compact kitchen – though there are plenty of eateries nearby. A sofa bed can accommodate a third guest if needed, while the bedroom is tucked away behind a room divider. Whether you're visiting for business or pleasure, we think this is a convenient base to call home.

Home truths
Your host operates several apartments here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.
At full capacity, the third guest will sleep on a sofa bed in the living area.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot, high chair, and plug socket covers upon request.
You won't need a car here. Instead of driving, we suggest exploring on foot or using public transport – multiple Tube stations are within walking distance.

Local guide
About City of London
The City of London might be first and foremost a business district but it does also have over 8,000 residents who call it home, many of whom live in the famous Barbican buildings, one of the greatest examples of 1960s Brutalist architecture and also home to a world-class arts space. The streets of the Square Mile itself hint at the area's rich history: goldsmiths, mercers, grocers, fishmongers and their trades are still celebrated in their livery halls and there are over 600 listed buildings!
