This Southwark gem is steeped in history. It was built on the site of the Bear Pit, an historic animal sports venue referenced by Samuel Pepys’ diaries. It’s also just a stone’s throw from the Globe Theatre, and is close to the iconic Borough Market. The house is perfect for a group, with a vaulted living and dining area at its heart. There’s also a cinema room and a private patio nook, so you’ll have plenty of space for spending time together. Beautifully designed, this home is a striking base for a London stay.
