Hitting the Spot in London

Hitting the Spot Self-Catering

Live your best London life at this playful yet cool family home nestled right in the heart of happening Clapham and just an eight-minute jaunt from the underground. Crisp white finishes may unite this home, but there’s nothing sterile about the interiors. A homage to modern living, vibrant textiles, midcentury furniture, and intriguing artwork brings all the style, while immaculate bathrooms, a marble-clad kitchen, and statement lighting ramp up the luxe factor. A brilliant choice for families, there’s heaps of space to spill out upstairs in the generously-sized bedrooms spread out over two floors and a jolly children’s bedroom awash in polka dots that kids will love. But it’s back downstairs in the kitchen and living space where we think you’ll be spending most of your time. Slide the bifold doors right back in the summer months to let the sunshine in as you fire up the barbecue in the walled garden. And on wintery days, curl up beside the fire for movie nights and board games. When it’s time for kids (and big kids) to let off some steam, follow the locals down to Clapham Common (fifteen minutes on foot) for a kickabout or a jog around the green. With bustling cafes and restaurants skirting the outer edges of the common, there are several fabulous brunch spots to try out. Or hop on the tube at Clapham North Station (eight minutes on foot), and you’ll be at Victoria and London Bridge in twenty minutes flat. Now, how’s that for a location?
