Tucked into a private mews in London Bridge, this four-storey townhouse punches well above its weight for a city stay. The roof terrace sits at the top with open views across the skyline towards The Shard – an easy place to linger well into the evening. At ground level, two separate lounges give everyone room to spread out, while the second-floor main suite has a private balcony, study area, and its own bathroom. London Bridge station is moments away, and Borough Market – one of London's culinary capitals – is just as close.

Home truths
Air conditioning is only available in the bedrooms.
At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
This is a four-storey home accessed by stairs only, with a few steps up from the street level too – worth bearing in mind if you have pushchairs, heavy luggage, or anyone in your group with mobility considerations.
The super-king bed in the main bedroom can be converted to a zip-and-link twin configuration on request – let your host know before arrival if you'd prefer that setup.
Parking isn't provided, but you won't need a car in this location. Instead of driving, we suggest exploring on foot or taking advantage of nearby public transport. London Bridge Station is a five-minute walk away.

Explore Foodie Heaven at Borough Market
Worth visiting for the history and architecture alone, but you’ll never want to leave when you see the array of mouth-watering goodies on offer. The Kappacasein grilled cheese sambos are legendary.

The fresh pasta restaurant with notoriously long queues no matter the time - they won’t let you put your name down so you'll just have to wait outside.
