Bermondsey is one of London’s coolest neighbourhoods, with a fantastic food scene and some excellent galleries. From local eateries to ever-changing exhibitions, this characterful apartment is a great base for exploring. It’s small yet smartly designed, with space for a solo traveller or couple looking to stay in a trendy area. One small downside is the lack of a lift, especially as this home is on the third floor. But with Tower Bridge a ten-minute walk away, and Borough Market nearby too, we think the location more than makes up for the stairs.

Home truths
There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home on the third floor.
This home is short on wardrobe space, so we'd recommend packing light.
Parking in London can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible. The nearest Underground station (Bermondsey) is a twelve-minute walk away.
