Step Into The Limelight, Plum Guide home in London

Click to book Step Into The Limelight now: from £229 per night Tucked away on a quiet street in Limehouse, this characterful home is full of pops of colour and fun, Scandi design elements. The living room instantly makes you feel welcome with its large sectional sofa, mid-century–style coffee table, desk area and bold blue feature wall. Its prized feature, however, is the door leading out into a private garden. Decked out with ample outdoor seating, this green haven is a quiet and peaceful retreat from the city beyond its walls. Start mornings off here with your morning coffee before gathering in the dazzling tiled kitchen for breakfast. When you’re ready to explore, Limehouse Basin with its independent shops and cafes is just a six-minute walk away, while Canary Wharf’s skyscrapers are a twenty-minute stroll from your door. Children will love Stepney City Farm (a five-minute walk) and grown-ups can soak up a slice of history at The Grapes pub which dates back to 1583. After a day of sightseeing, come back home for drinks in the garden, then fire up the barbecue for an alfresco feast. When it’s time for bed, two carefully curated bedrooms wait to drift you into a peaceful night’s slumber. Sleeps up to 4 | 2 Bedrooms | 1 Bathroom

Venus & Saturn

Venus & Saturn, Plum Guide home in London, UK

Venus & Saturn, Plum Guide home in London, UK

Click to book Venus & Saturn now: from £275 per night While we wouldn't recommend this home if you dislike the colour orange, the clementine walls are a cheerful feature that reflect how much fun you could have here. The host provides spices, condiments and coffee, making it easy to just show up and start enjoying yourself – we are confident you will feel well cared for in this home. There's plenty of space to flop on the squashy grey sofas and a slick kitchen if you're planning to do some cooking for your guests. The true standout feature here, however, is the location. It’s an ideal spot for people travelling for business and working nearby (due to its proximity to The City) – there's even a desk if you need to catch up on some emails out of hours. Tourists will be equally happy with the Tower of London just a twelve-minute walk away in one direction, and the vintage markets of Brick Lane a ten-minute walk away in the other direction. And, if you stick your head out the window, you can see one of London's most iconic buildings, The Gherkin. Sleeps up to 6 | 2 Bedrooms | 2 Bathrooms
