An inviting living area, bright kitchen, private garden, cosy bedrooms – whatever you need, this Clapham family-friendly home has it in spades. We love how sunny and cheery it is – the bay windows flood each room with heaps of natural light, while the parquet floor and pastel colour scheme add a whimsical touch. Pad downstairs in the morning to the bold blue kitchen and rustle up a delicious breakfast. On summer days, take your fare alfresco and enjoy your coffee in the garden or settle down around the sleek dining table instead. After a day spent exploring all London has to offer, come home and sink into the sumptuous sofa while a fire crackles in the wood burner, followed by a relaxing soak in the clawfoot tub. If you need to do some work, the second bedroom has a desk fit for Zoom calls, while the children's rooms have plenty of books and games to keep the kids entertained. Locals love Clapham for its array of international eateries, traditional pubs, trendy bars, and independent coffee shops – all of which can be reached on foot – and the transport links to central London are excellent. Hop on the tube at Clapham South (ten minutes away) and you can be in buzzing Leicester Square in twenty minutes, or if you're in the mood for a bit of shopping, take the bus to Chelsea's iconic King's Road, reachable in twenty minutes.

About Balham
Balham might not be smack bang in the centre of London but it's got charm aplenty and has recently become something of a south London hotspot. Offering a vibrant nightlife scene with cocktail bars, old-school pubs, and brunch spots (for those partial to a 'bottomless'), Balham is a great place to spend your city nights. Open green spaces make this an incredibly popular area for affluent young families to enjoy...
