Here, floor-to-ceiling windows pull the Thames right into the living room – Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, and the London Eye arranged like a postcard you can actually sit inside.

Inside, projectors in both bedrooms and Sonos speakers in every room add a layer of considered comfort. The Houses of Parliament are a fifteen-minute walk, and the London Eye a little further, at around twenty minutes on foot.

About Vauxhall

Ignore the rather hectic and somewhat anonymous-feeling roundabout that greets you when you emerge from the tube station: just moments away are some of London's most characterful and special garden squares in London. Leafy Bonnington Square is completely charming - it is home to an incredibly good and ridiculously cheap vegetarian restaurant The Bonnington Cafe and...

Grab a pint and a bite at the Black Dog Pub
This bustling corner pub has all you need in a local: great food, proper beers and a lively atmosphere. Reservations recommended, especially for their understandably popular Sunday Roast.
