With its iconic white chimneys, Battersea Power Station has been a much-loved part of London's skyline since the 1930s and a recent redevelopment of the building has created some of the UK capital's most covetable homes – like this studio apartment.
Although only intended for one or two guests, there's a generous amount of space and lots of natural light from the floor-to-ceiling window. The minimalist kitchen is also decently sized and more than well enough equipped to keep you out of London's copious restaurants. We're fond of the contemporary style, particularly the parquet flooring and chic furnishings, while the fact that guests get access to a shared gym, sauna and swimming pool is another big perk.
Elsewhere on the site, there's a wealth of shops, restaurants and even a theatre, not to mention the banks of the River Thames footsteps away. There's plenty to do in Battersea Park five minutes' walk away as well, from boating on the lake and visiting the art gallery to taking kids around the zoo.
Home truths: *This home can only accept long lets of 6 months or more
*There's a lift in the building to reach this single-level home
*The swimming pool, sauna and gym are shared between other residents in the building
*There's no private parking available, but there are paid car parks nearby and Battersea Power Station underground station is only five minutes' walk away
