Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This former pub has been transformed into a chic homestead ideal for London getaways. Modern touches abound here – there's an egg-shaped barbecue on the private terrace, an exercise room with a Peloton, or chef-grade kitchen appliances ideal for keen cooks. One of the bedrooms is a tad snug, but we think that's a worthwhile trade, especially in such a central location. Elephant & Castle Station is less than ten minutes on foot, while sightseeing hotspots like the South Bank, Westminster, and Buckingham Palace are also within easy reach. Your host is also happy to arrange any services or extras you may need, from pre-arrival groceries to bespoke London experiences.

Home truths
This home has an inverted layout. All three bedrooms and the two bathrooms are on the lower level. This means they do lack a little bit of natural light.
While children are welcome, infants may not be allowed. Please speak to your host for more details.
One of the beds is pushed against the wall, so it’s only accessible from one side.
Parking isn't provided, but with a Tube station nearby, we don't think a car is necessary here.

Today, the area features a number of high rise residential blocks, the proximity to London Bridge greatly appealing. While it's not a primary destination, there are some notable attractions, including the Imperial War Museum (a must...

History class at the Imperial War Museum
If everyone is old enough this is a fun way to learn about modern British history. Recently refurbished and with a lovely Cafe, it is one of the most popular museums in town.
Have A Pint At The Three Stags
This pub is where Charlie Chaplin saw his dad for the last time. A great ethical, sustainable pub which has been awarded stars for its attitudes to sourcing local produce.
Rave at the Legendary Ministry of Sound
It started as a London Nightclub to become THE nightclub and an extensive multimedia entertainment biz. The arena 25 years later still gets hearts racing and emotions high.
Enjoy Neapolitan-style pizza at Theo's
Set within a brutalist block with heaps of utilitarian character, this is Theo's second location and their Neapolitan-style pizzas still rank among the best in South London.
Explore Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park
A beautiful, well-maintained park with the Imperial War Museum at its centre. Enjoy a breath of fresh air, visit the Buddhist Peace Garden, and relax in the peaceful surroundings. Dogs are welcome, so it's a great spot if you're travelling with furry friends in tow.
Experience the beauty of St George's Cathedral
A beautiful 19th-century Catholic cathedral in Southwark, offering Sunday mass in Spanish. Immerse yourself in the lovely atmosphere, enjoy the angelic voices of the choir, and be inspired by powerful homilies.
Dine alongside Live Music at Toulouse Lautrec Brasserie
