We're loving the maximalist approach to living with houseplants at this uber-cool London pad, placed just a hop, skip, and a jump from the South Bank (ten minutes on foot). But step through the private entrance of this townhouse, and you'll discover there's more to this place than its indoor greenery. Stylish custom designer touches are everywhere to see here, with a bespoke-made kitchen ladened with all the gadgets to rustle up a hearty meal and a coffee machine worthy of any artisan barista joint. The elegant and airy living space is a joy to spend time in, with vintage furniture and contemporary artwork adding rich layers of interest. And all bathed in natural light thanks to those floor-to-ceiling bi-folds. When the sun shines over London town, slide back the doors to the decked oasis of a garden and fire up the pizza oven for alfresco dining. Upstairs, the host has kept the space minimalist and contemporary with pristine bedrooms and bathrooms. It's the perfect blank canvas for you to settle in and make this place your own. When it's time to explore the city, you'll be off to a flying start in the buzzy West End, just a fifteen-minute walk away. Or hop on the underground at Elephant & Castle station (five minutes on foot) to discover other corners of the city.

About Elephant and Castle
Most will recognise Elephant & Castle due to its large roundabout at its centre, and while it appears a modern entity, the history of this busy junction can be traced back to Roman times. Today, the area features a number of high rise residential blocks, the proximity to London Bridge greatly appealing. While it's not a primary destination, there are some notable attractions, including the Imperial War Museum (a must...

Everything Latin is already late and relaxed by definition, so wake up to a cheerful Cuban coffee, salads and sweets! Vibrant colours and sounds to start your day!
Explore Mercato Metropolitano
A lively, massive market offering a range of international street fare from Italian to Vietnamese. Enjoy a pint of German beer and soak up the unique flair at the bar areas and biergardens.

If you’re looking for a REAL English breakfast, this place has it. Simple, cosy and set in a proper traditional English Café, this is the perfect spot to fuel up before a day of sightseeing.
Enjoy Neapolitan-style pizza at Theo's
Set within a brutalist block with heaps of utilitarian character, this is Theo's second location and their Neapolitan-style pizzas still rank among the best in South London.
Explore Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park
A beautiful, well-maintained park with the Imperial War Museum at its centre. Enjoy a breath of fresh air, visit the Buddhist Peace Garden, and relax in the peaceful surroundings. Dogs are welcome, so it's a great spot if you're travelling with furry friends in tow.
Experience the beauty of St George's Cathedral
A beautiful 19th-century Catholic cathedral in Southwark, offering Sunday mass in Spanish. Immerse yourself in the lovely atmosphere, enjoy the angelic voices of the choir, and be inspired by powerful homilies.
