This colourful and cosy property sits in the heart of Borough and boasts a lovely view across a park to the impressive Shard. Just a few minutes walk from Borough Market, with all its fabulous eateries, and from both London and Tower Bridges, it's a quiet but super convenient spot. A real home-from-home, what this place lacks in space, it more than makes for in character. Think velvet sofas, an eclectic mix of furniture and bookshelves stuffed with classics. There's a smart little kitchen and dining table, a comfy bedroom and bathroom, with space for an extra guest on a sofa bed. With a tube station just two minutes away, the whole city is your oyster.
