Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This penthouse, nestled close to all of London's best bits, is a chic spot for city explorers to rest their heads. Within walking distance of Westminster Abbey, Big Ben, Buckingham Palace and the London Eye, there's plenty to keep families or groups of friends entertained. The manicured courtyard is a nice touch but shared with other residents, whereas the terrace and two separate balconies are all yours. We recommend sunset drinks as you watch London life go by, with Big Ben on the horizon. There's also a fine-dining Indian restaurant on-site for when you're not in the mood to cook.

Local guide
About Westminster
Wesminster is home to two of London's most famous landmarks: The Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, both of which sit proudly on the river's edge. It is the centre of the country's political life, and so, perhaps unsurprisingly, it isn't London's hippest area - you'll be sharing the pavements with a mix of politicians and selfie-stick-wielding tourists. What it lacks in local colour or character, it makes up for in location - it's a great base for exploring nearby St James' s Park, Buckingham Palace, Mayfair, Trafalgar Square and beyond.
