This rustic-chic studio next to Battersea Power Station makes an ideal London base for couples or business travellers. Surprisingly spacious for a studio, it has a fully equipped kitchen, a dining table, and a partially separated sleeping area. The dining table doubles as a handy workspace, but the building also offers meeting rooms and a guest lounge if you need more room to work or socialise. There's even a communal rooftop terrace for some fresh air and city views. And with Battersea’s shops, restaurants, parks and excellent transport links all a short stroll away, the location is hard to beat.

About Nine Elms
A fast-transforming locality on the banks of the Thames, larger in area than Monaco, Nine Elms is set to become one of London’s most vibrant districts. Much has changed since its humble farmland and locomotive works beginnings; in their place now stand gleaming mirrored skyscrapers and upscale private residences that dominate the horizon. One of which boasts the world’s first floating sky pool, a leg-trembling 115 feet above the ground....
