This London apartment is a stone’s throw from Tooting Bec Common. While you’ll have green space on the doorstep, you can jump on the train and be in the city centre within thirty minutes of leaving home. With an open-plan living area, fully equipped kitchen, and comfortable bedrooms, the home has everything you’ll need for a fuss-free stay. We think this place will suit two couples or a family wanting a quieter base from which to explore the capital.
