This cosy abode is ideal for a couple seeking a real home-from-home in London. Here, you’ll find homey touches and a retro vibe.

St Paul’s Cathedral and the Barbican Centre are both just a ten-minute walk away, with the Barbican Tube station three minutes on foot. Convenient and comfortable – what more could you ask for?
