As cosy as it is colourful, this Georgian townhouse in the heart of London is an excellent spot to rest your feet. Character abounds everywhere you look – an exposed stone wall here, a traditional fireplace there – but there are plenty of 21st-century touches to keep you feeling relaxed and well-rested, too. We're talking underfloor heating downstairs, Sonos speakers and a lush soaker bathtub that's just the ticket after a long day exploring. There's no denying that the aquamarine kitchen is the heart of this home – we can't think of a dreamier place to show off your culinary skills. Spend laid-back mornings making pancakes and sipping coffee, enjoy light lunches around the sleek kitchen island or rustle up a family feast and tuck in around the dining table as the log-burner crackles. On summer days, unwind in the quaint garden with a digestif and watch the sunset, then retreat to the charming living room and snuggle up for a movie night. Whether you want to catch a cricket game at The Oval, browse the art in Tate Britain or stroll along the Thames, this spot in Vauxhall has something for everyone. And, with two tube stations nearby, you... can be in the city centre in a flash.

Local guide
About Kennington
Kennington is one of London's best kept secrets. It's famously home to the major cricket ground The Oval, but we're more interested in its Georgian architecture (check out the charming Cleaver Square, where you'll find locals playing boules and a cosy pub) and proximity to the cultural delights of the nearby South Bank. It's a diverse area, popular with young professionals and families alike - a good area to experience a taste of real London away from the tourists.
