Comfortable London home, from experienced host!
A light and quiet two-double bedroomed apartment on the fringe of central London (nearest tube is zone 1). With rave reviews from over 250 guests both from when I am here and away, you can be sure this is a home for you too, it's not a rental business or a hotel. On this listing, this whole loft is yours, as I am away for the dates you are searching for!<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />The place is a two bedroomed architect-designed apartment.<br />Like London, the place is modern on the inside but old on the outside!<br /><br />Many of the positive airbnb reviews shown below under 'other properties' are of this same apartment, when I am present. This listing you are reading is for the times I am away, and the whole place is available.<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 and s
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 ...
