You’ll have your pick of a slew of London’s best-loved hotspots in this well-placed apartment. If you’re after some of the city’s best finger food, Borough Market awaits just a few minutes away – then there’s the Shard, where you can ascend to the observation deck for a spectacular view. Though you’ll need to climb a few stairs to get to the front door of the home (there’s no lift here), it’s well worth it for the location – and the apartment itself is cosy and well-designed, with pops of colour from its decor lending it plenty of charm and character.
