designer loft in central London!
A spacious one-bedroom apartment near Elephant and Castle. <br />A light and quiet apartment on the fringe of central London (nearest tube is zone 1). With over 200 rave reviews (on another listing, but for this apartment, see my profile), it's not an agency or a hotel, but a real London home, my home. I would love you to be my guest!<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />The place is a one bedroomed architect-designed apartment.<br />Like London, the place is modern on the inside but old on the outside!<br /><br />If you need somewhere comfortable, clean, sunny, and quiet, that is quick to get into town, and in an interesting multicultural area where real people actually live, then this apartment is great!<br /><br />The apartment is on the first floor (one up from ground level), with its own private front door and street entrance. <br /><br />The bedroom has a double bed, with lots of storage and a desk with comfortable office chair, and monitor with HDMI cable for your laptop to plug in.
The apartment is in Southwark, south of the Thames. To be clear, this location, 15mins walk from the Elephant and Castle, is not in tourist London. If you want to roll out of bed into Piccadilly Circus, then this is not the place for you. The area is a residential area just south of the centre of London.<br /><br />Central London is pretty big. Yet thanks to the bend in the river Thames, the flat is equidistant to most places of interest - Westminster, Soho, the West End, Covent Garden, and the City of London are a short bus journey away. <br />The area isn't London's most glamorous, but it is convenient. In fact, with the wind in the right direction, when lying in bed you can hear Big Ben striking! <br /><br />Local facilities are great for buying provisions. Not only are good British supermarkets under five mins walk away, but a very handy well stocked 24hour Turkish store is also close by, where you can get groceries, fruit and freshly baked bread 24 hours a day!
I am an architect and architectural journalist, as well as hosting, I have been lucky enough to have been a guest many times, from one end of the world to the other - I have airbnb'ed literally from Albuquerque, to Zanzibar!

If you are wondering, the picture shows me in a motorway service station in France, showing how far we had got on a trip to Spain (i.e. under half way) before my new car broke down!  Hmmm I am not lucky with cars ...
