Tucked away in the affluent borough of Pimlico, this vibrant apartment connects you to some of the most iconic London landmarks. Westminister Abbey, for one, is only an eleven-minute stroll away and whatever you can't walk to, you can find at the other end of a train or bus journey – the station is seven minutes from your doorstep. The bold colour palette here might not work for everyone, but this home is comfortable and well-equipped despite being small. Ideal for couples or solo explorers, it will work well for business trips, too.

Home truths
There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home. There are also stairs inside the apartment, so this might not be the best option for those with reduced mobility.
Parking in London can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot for free. You'll need to request them in advance and bring your own linen.
If you want to stock up on essentials during your stay, you'll find the closest supermarket minutes away.
The style might not be for everyone.
