When you think of London, one of the first things that springs to mind is the iconic Buckingham Palace. And it’s certainly a must-see if it’s your first time in the capital. That’s why this home has such an enviable location – just a stone’s throw away you’ll find Buckingham Palace in all its glory, along with The Mall and St James Park. If you want to explore all corners of the city, Victoria station is only a four-minute walk. Inside the home, find a palace of your own, perhaps not of the same proportions, but you’ll certainly receive a royal welcome. Charming and soothing interiors provide a hub of relaxation after a day exploring busy London. The home is perfect for a small family or couple’s getaway, with plenty of space in the open plan living and dining area for entertaining. Or if you fancy a quiet night in, then be sure to make the most of the unlimited Netflix on the smart TV.
