Sapphire Gem in London Suburbs, London

Sapphire Gem Self-Catering

This elegant apartment in Clapham has a lovely, private patio garden – it’s the perfect spot to enjoy some alfresco dining or relax on the built-in bench with a glass of wine. Inside, the large living room’s neutral interiors are offset by a dark sapphire blue feature wall, while bay windows with classic shutters let plenty of light in. We love the ambience in the evening when the candles are lit in the fireplace. Fling open the French doors in the kitchen in the morning and have a cup of coffee at the breakfast bar overlooking the garden. If you want even more outdoor space, Clapham Common is a fifteen-minute walk away, while there are an array of bars, pubs, cafes and restaurants right on your doorstep. When you want to explore all that the rest of London has to offer, Clapham South on London Underground's Northern line is just a six-minute stroll away.
