Incredible Split-level Flat with parking, sleeps 4
Welcome to my lovely 1-bedroom flat in Wapping!<br /><br />Split over two levels, this spacious flat features a large open-plan living space (and a fully equipped kitchen), a double bedroom and two bathrooms. The upstairs level has a very comfortable Futon sofa bed (sleeps 2 additional guests). This is in it's own space on the mezzanine floor, almost like it's own room!<br /><br />Perfect for couples, small groups friends and even business visitors - everyone welcome!<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />The open-plan living room is perfect for relaxing after a long day exploring London. There is a comfy sofa as well as a TV with a Sky package to keep you entertained. <br /><br />Feel free to take advantage of the fully-equipped kitchen - great if you prefer to cook at home (although London is famous for its world-class bars and restaurants - be sure to check the Guidebook section for some of my personal recommendations!). The living room also overlooks the London Marathon route!<br /><br 
Given Wapping's proximity to the river, the area has a strong maritime character which lasted well into the 20th century. Formerly a narrow Saxon settlement hemmed in by the river to the south and the now-drained Wapping Marsh to the north, Wapping became inhabited by sailors, boat-builders and rope-makers. It was also the site of executions for all pirates and water-borne criminals, such as the notorious Captain Kidd, who gave his name to one of the many water-side pubs in the area. Another favourite is the ever-popular Prospect of Whitby pub, which is opposite the Wapping Project, a renovated hydraulic-power-station-cum-art-gallery-and-restaurant. In the 19th century, the Thames Tunnel was built at great expense, joining Wapping to Rotherhithe. The area was seriously damaged during the Blitz but the 80s redevelopment programme transformed the area's fortunes with many of Wapping's warehouses - left abandoned after the war - being turned into plush flats.
