Putney is the kind of London neighbourhood that rewards those who skip the tourist trail – a lively riverside stretch with cafes, restaurants, and Thames-side walks on the doorstep. This apartment sits at the heart of it, offering a comfortable base with a king-size bed in the main bedroom and a laptop-friendly workspace for anyone mixing work with travel. Putney Pier is a thirteen-minute walk away, where you can board an Uber Boat direct to Westminster, and Putney Bridge Underground station keeps the rest of the city well within reach.

Home truths
Putney is well connected but not central, so you'll be relying on the Underground, bus routes along Lower Richmond Road, or the Uber Boat from Putney Pier to reach central London. We recommend using public transport – parking in this part of London can be tricky.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot during your stay.

The area exudes a feeling of well-heeled sophistication, with tennis, golf and cricket clubs aplenty, and smart bars where its affluent residents gather in the evening. On summer weekends members of the area’s many rowing clubs flock to riverside pubs and cafes after an invigorating morning on the water....
