This contemporary home is an ideal base for a family on a London getaway. Spacious and modern, we love the open-plan design, perfect for gathering as a group. The sleek kitchen is a match for any chef, but with a whole host of eateries in the local area, you may find dining out is on the menu. With a private balcony, you can even get a little fresh air fix over your morning coffee. And, when it comes to sightseeing in the capital, just hop on the tube – London’s landmarks are just a stone’s throw away.
