Bright, modern and glamorously decorated, this home in Southwark is an ideal base for those looking to be within easy walking distance of some of London’s most important cultural sights. Inside, wood floors and plush furnishings provide a sophisticated welcome with velvet accents, tasteful black and white photography and framed movie posters decking the walls. We love the stylish decorative pieces that give the space a real sense of character, like the trunk coffee table and the white armchairs that invite you to kick back in them with a glass of bubbly. Open up the glass doors here to step out onto a private balcony – this is the ideal spot to enjoy an alfresco breakfast or sundowners before discovering your neighbourhood’s vibrant restaurant scene. Factor in the beautiful bedroom with its elegant vanity and views of the Shard, as well as a chic bathroom to make waking up a treat, and you’ve got everything you need for a relaxing city stay. Outside of your home, the Tate Modern is just a four-minute walk away, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre is a seven-minute walk, Borough Market is walkable in ten, while the towering Shard is fourteen minutes on foot from your door....
