A former church doesn't often become a London apartment, and this conversion makes the most of every inch of its heritage. Double-height ceilings and period architecture turn everyday moments – cooking, eating, settling in for the evening – into something a little more dramatic. Two bedrooms, each with a king-size bed, make it a natural fit for two couples or a family wanting room to breathe. When you're ready to venture out, the Tower of London is a thirty-four-minute walk along the river.

About Bermondsey

One of London's choice weekend markets, Maltby Street Market is a crucial stop for award-winning sandwiches, cheese-filled treats and sweet bites — plus, incredible gin joints. Mostly home to London's coolest young professionals, this area is full of characterful old warehouses...
