Located in Pimlico – just a stone’s throw from the River Thames – this elegantly dressed apartment is an ideal base for a solo traveller or couple looking to be within walking distance of Buckingham Palace, Victoria, Westminster and the Tate Britain. Though centrally placed, sound-cancelling windows help to keep it peaceful, and the abundance of natural light is a welcome addition. The bedroom’s decor is a little sparse, but the bathroom’s rainfall shower is a nice touch here. And though you’ve got plenty of dining options on your doorstep, the decent-sized kitchen offers flexibility when it comes to mealtimes.
