Situated in the heart of St John's Wood, this one-bedroom penthouse is a short walk from the famous Abbey Road Studios and the Lord's Cricket Ground. It makes a comfy base whether you're sightseeing or commuting, though we suggest packing light – space is limited, and it's on the third floor of a building without a lift. The kitchen is well-equipped for easy home cooking, while the Juliet balconies let in plenty of natural sunlight during the day. To explore Central London further, you'll find St John's Wood Tube station about ten minutes away on foot, putting the city at your fingertips.

Home truths
This home is on the third floor, and you'll need to climb stairs to reach the entrance.
Your host can provide a free cot here if you're travelling with little ones. You may need to request this in advance.
While the large bed makes for a great night's sleep, it does feel a little big for the room. Space is limited, so we'd recommend travelling light.
Weekly housekeeping is provided here for stays of fourteen nights or over.
Parking in London can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.
