This charming Georgian townhouse is a beautiful London base, ideal for families and groups of friends. There are curios at every turn, including quirky ornaments and artwork – you’ll need to stay here a while to discover every hidden gem. The home is spread over four floors so you won’t be short of space, and you’ll even have a private terrace to spread out on when the sun is shining. You’ll be perfectly positioned to explore London thanks to the proximity to Elephant & Castle tube station, and the Imperial War Museum is a short walk away. We think this home has everything you might need for a city break.
