This apartment is superb for sightseeing, with Big Ben and Buckingham Palace both within walking distance. Wander around Westminster and you’ll spot the Cathedral and Abbey too, so you’ll soon be ticking off London landmarks. After all that exploring, this is a relaxing place to recharge. The rooms are set across two floors, meaning more space to stretch out. And there’s a private terrace for when the forecast is fine, along with a communal courtyard. Whether it’s your first time in the city or you know it well, we think you’ll feel right at home here.

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.
While the entrance to this home is on the ground floor, the apartment is spread over two floors, so you'll need to be able to climb stairs here. If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a safety gate for the stairs. You'll need to request this in advance and install it yourself.
There's air conditioning in the living area and kitchen here, but not in the bedrooms.
You'll have access to the on-site courtyard terrace here. It's shared with the building's other residents.
This apartment is equipped with a noise and occupancy monitoring device – this doesn't record audio. There are also CCTV cameras in the building entrance, concierge area, courtyard, and ground floor hallway.

Local guide
About Westminster
Wesminster is home to two of London's most famous landmarks: The Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, both of which sit proudly on the river's edge. It is the centre of the country's political life, and so, perhaps unsurprisingly, it isn't London's hippest area - you'll be sharing the pavements with a mix of politicians and selfie-stick-wielding tourists. What it lacks in local colour or character, it makes up for in location - it's a great base for exploring nearby St James' s Park, Buckingham Palace, Mayfair, Trafalgar Square and beyond.
