A stone's throw from Slough station, this one-bedroom serviced apartment couldn't be more convenient for access into London and the surrounding area. In addition to the stylish and comfortable open-plan living space, you benefit from your private balcony, where you can take in the surroundings over your morning cup of coffee. Spend your days out and about – the high-speed train can whisk you into London Paddington in twenty minutes, while well-to-do Windsor is less than five miles away. Then, after preparing a sumptuous supper in the adjoining kitchen, sink into the cosy corner sofa and binge your favourite Netflix series. If you find yourself with some time on your hands, Slough has many high-street shops, vibrant bars and buzzy restaurants, though you may want to travel slightly further for a genuinely innovative meal. You can find everything within a five-mile radius, from a Francophile three-starred Michelin joint to an independent street food market and everything in between.
