Furnished in a simple palette of white and silver, this contemporary home can accommodate a family or a group of friends with ease. The large open living area benefits from light-filled French doors that open onto leafy views of Southwark Park. The sweeping terrace and bedrooms provide a similar verdant outlook, giving this townhouse the feel of a country estate. The polished kitchen sports shiny appliances, making it easy to whip up meals for the whole crew (several grocery stores are also within a short walk). If you don’t feel like cooking, though, simply take your pick from the local restaurants and pubs. You can dine out by the Thames or wind down on your sofa with a take-away meal and your favourite show. Walk along the river for an evening stroll while the sun sets, and on weekends sample food at the nearby Maltby street. Should you want to explore the rest of London, there’s a handy underground station within a five-minute stroll and an overground within 10 minutes, making your stay primely located.
