Leafy London living awaits at this smart apartment set right in the exclusive heart of Clapham Common. While that belter of a communal garden and informal dining room is shared with the other five boutique apartments housed in this Victorian building, you'll have a private kitchenette and living area, too. It's worth noting that the last guest will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room – fine for a small family sharing, but it won't suit everyone. Location-wise, you're just a three-minute stroll to the underground to hit the sights. Or keep things local with an amble around Clapham Common – its thriving high street is always an afternoon well-spent.

Home truths:
*You’ll check into this basement apartment with a keypad and code.
*This home is one of six boutique apartments housed in the same building. You'll have direct access to a communal garden and barbecue area. There's also a shared informal dining room and lounge. But if you’re not feeling sociable, there’s a private kitchenette and living area in the apartment, too.
*The kitchen is compact with a small fridge, so there’s only room to store essentials. We think it’s better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
*Bathroom essentials are provided to help you settle in.
*This home is in a central spot, so expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay. Light sleepers might want to pack earplugs.
