While studios may not always be our first choice of accommodation, this home on London's north bank is changing our minds. The former warehouse has had a buzzy redesign from New Yorker Matt Grzywinksi – the result is a chic olive-green room with 50s-style kitchen cabinets and a big, comfy king-size bed. It's a perfect base to explore the city. Soho and East London are within equal distance – just twenty minutes on the tube – while it's a quick ten-minute stroll over the water to the Globe Theatre. When you come back, the home's lobby is a seriously cool spot to unwind, with its Shoreditch-style space, from the leafy plants to the metal columns. There is also a basement gym if you want to pump iron before dinner, whether that be in the small kitchen or at one of the nearby renowned restaurants down the street.

Local guide
About City of London
The City of London might be first and foremost a business district but it does also have over 8,000 residents who call it home, many of whom live in the famous Barbican buildings, one of the greatest examples of 1960s Brutalist architecture and also home to a world-class arts space. The streets of the Square Mile itself hint at the area's rich history: goldsmiths, mercers, grocers, fishmongers and their trades are still celebrated in their livery halls and there are over 600 listed buildings!
