Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This sleek modern apartment lies in central London close to Tower Bridge and public transport, boasting a spacious private balcony. While very simple and perhaps not the most charming space, we think it's ideal for work trips or short city getaways. There is the potential of noise from neighbours, but we think the communal facilities here make it well worth it. During your stay you'll have access to the building's swimming pool, gym, and cinema theatre, not to mention concierge services to ensure your trip runs as smoothly as possible.

Home truths
Parking in London can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible.
This home is in an apartment, so you can expect to bump into other residents of the building, and there is a chance you might hear some outside noise during your stay.
Climbing stairs might be required here during your stay.
You'll have access to communal facilities here, including a gym, swimming pool, cinema theatre and guest lounge.
Weekly housekeeping is provided here for free.
This home was purpose-built for rentals, so it's not the most soulful or charming space.

Local guide
About Wapping
Undoubtedly one of London's most atmospheric riverside areas, packed with maritime history and still retaining a real Dickensian feel to many parts of it on account of its many cobbled streets. The old wharfs and spice and tea warehouses that the area is filled with have almost all now been snapped up and converted by hip media types, wanting to live the NY-style loft dream. The area is also well-known for its many historic riverside pubs, gloriously cosy in wintertime and good for sun soaking come summertime.
