Found in an old Georgian house in the affluent Pimlico, this apartment is within walking distance of Westminister Abbey, trendy cafes and other iconic London landmarks. And though there's no garden, the house sits across from a small public park, where you can stretch out. The apartment is bright and modern, comfortably sleeping four, but two more guests can squeeze in on the sofa bed in the living room if needed. Ideal for small family trips or two couples rooming together, the laptop-friendly desk also makes it suitable for a business trip.
