This fuss-free apartment in Waterloo is just the base for sightseeing. In fact, it's so central that you'll even get a glimpse of the London Eye from the small patio. Though the design is understated, the location certainly isn't. South Bank and the Thames are a short walk away, while Big Ben and Westminster Abbey are just across the bridge. You also have a fantastic connection to the rest of London here, thanks to the nearby Waterloo Station – if that's not the definition of convenience, we don't know what it is.
