Located in an 18th century Georgian townhouse on a street where Benjamin Franklin once lived, this central London apartment is the perfect base for exploring the city. Set over two levels, the home offers plenty of space with two living rooms, a separate dining room and a well-equipped kitchen. There's even a study if you need to keep up with emails while in town. Location-wise you could not be more central if you tried with destinations including Trafalgar Square, Covent Garden and the River Thames on your doorstep. You're also minutes away from the nearest tube station for exploring more of the city.

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.
