Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
We think this apartment is a practical pad for business travellers. It's sleek, modern, and just a stone's throw from Wandsworth's pubs, shops, and leafy parks. Though it's not in central London, the nearby train station offers frequent links to Waterloo – from there, it's only a short walk to the popular South Bank. Back home, you'll have access to a small enclosed patio ideal for sundowners. The second bedroom has a sofa bed for two – not a deal breaker, but perhaps best for short stays.

Home truths
At full capacity, two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the second bedroom.
This apartment is on the ground and lower-ground floors, so it may lack some natural light.
The patio is accessed via the main bedroom. It's quite small – there's only room for two to sit comfortably.
Your host will provide a welcome pack of basic groceries and toiletries. You'll find a shop a short walk away if you need to top up.
The dining table can double up as a laptop-friendly workspace if you need to work from home.
Guests staying longer than seven nights will receive weekly housekeeping services.
Wandsworth isn't in central London, but the train station is a short walk away and has regular services to Waterloo.

Local guide
About Wandsworth
Wandsworth attracts young families and professionals with its residential streets and open spaces. The Common is a standout attraction here where you'll feel a world away from the busyness of London life. The area is also pretty well-connected with a number of rail stations that will get you into Waterloo and Victoria in around 15 minutes. If you want a bit of piece and quiet while also remaining in touching distance of Central London, Wandsworth could serve you well for your stay.
