From the characterful wooden shutters to the host's collection of well-thumbed books, this cottage is the definition of cosy. The kitchen has all the essentials to whip up dinner – best enjoyed in the bay window – while the bedrooms are as comfortable as they are stylish. Topping it all off is the small garden. It has sundowners written all over it – the perfect end to a day spent sightseeing. As for location, it's ten minutes on foot from Clapham Junction and twenty from Battersea Park. Though it's not in the thick of central London, you'll still be incredibly well-connected here – trains can whisk you away to Victoria, Waterloo, or London Bridge in about ten minutes.
