Pocket-sized but practical, this studio apartment is a smart base for solo travellers and digital nomads. It has all the essentials you need to settle in, plus access to a shared laundry room for longer visits. The dining table doubles as a desk for remote working, and though the kitchen is certainly compact, you'll find an array of eateries nearby. Speaking of location, Greenwich Park is practically on your doorstep here. Consider yourself a history buff? The Cutty Sark, Royal Observatory, and the National Maritime Museum are just a short stroll away, too.

Home truths
You won't find an oven here – though there is a small hob and microwave. We think the kitchen is better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
While there are no in-unit laundry facilities here, you will find a communal washing machine and dryer on the ground floor.
Light construction work is ongoing in the building during daytime hours. Be prepared to experience some noise disturbance during your stay, as well as see tradespeople walking through the building.

Local guide
About Greenwich
If maritime history, global time-keeping, and grand architecture by Sir Christopher Wren are your bag, then Greenwich is the place for you. It might not be the most central option on our books, but there's certainly plenty going for it. It's home to The Royal Naval College, The National Maritime Museum and The Royal Observatory (the latter marks the spot of the Meridian Line, the place where time begins and ends) and once you've had your fill of museum action, we recommend exploring the historic Greenwich Market, which should more than satisfy all your antique and foodie needs.
