The house

The apartment retains an original leather-hoisting winch and has large windows on both sides. Its zoned, open-plan living area includes velvet and suede sofas, a grand piano, a reading nook and books available for guests to read. An oak dining table seats eight beneath a Union Jack mural.

The shaker-style kitchen has a zinc-topped breakfast bar, stools and opening loading-bay windows. Equipment includes a cooker, oven, hob, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, kettle, coffee maker, cookware and tableware. A washing machine, iron and ironing board are also provided.

The lower-level guest bathroom has copper-coloured tiles and a walk-in rain shower. A wide wooden staircase leads to the principal bedroom, which has a vintage Sottini bath/shower. A balcony has a table and chairs for two, and a second terrace offers views towards London's skyline, including The Shard. A double sofa bed is available for two additional guests on request.

The apartment has central heating, two fans for summer, a smart TV and towels, bed linen and basic toiletries. Tower Bridge, The Shard, Borough Market and Tate Modern are within easy walking distance, with eateries, art and green parks nearby.

Subject to availability, additional services can be ordered through Veeve: airport pickups and private transfers, welcome packs, mid-stay housekeeping, fresh towels and linen, extra bedding or pillows, and early or late arrival or departure arrangements.
