________
Set just off Borough High Street, this quiet, design-led flat offers a rare combination of space, style and location in Zone 1. It’s an ideal base for exploring central London on foot — with Borough Market, the South Bank, Tate Modern and Shakespeare’s Globe all just minutes away. Cross nearby London Bridge for the City and Sky Garden, or walk a little further east to Tower Bridge and the Tower of London.
This is my home, not a short-term rental. It’s a well-maintained, thoughtfully designed space that I’ve hosted from for over a decade. As a Superhost with 10+ years of experience, I aim to offer more than just a key and a bed — you’ll find personal touches and local knowledge to help you feel like a Londoner, not just a visitor.
The block itself is peaceful and neighbourly, with long-term residents and a quiet, respectful atmosphere — rare for Zone 1.

Hosting style
While I'm new on VRBO, I've been doing this for well over a decade as a host and superhost, and 15 years travelling, so I know what matters in a good stay — and I pay attention to the little things. This is a home experience, not a hotel one.
• A digital welcome magazine with local favourites
• Curated Google Maps with restaurants, walks, and museums
• Restaurant recommendations — and bookings if you’d like
• Quick, helpful support anytime
• Any issues resolved promptly, without fuss
For stays of a week or longer, I include free laundry collection and return and offer you either an English breakfast at Roast in Borough Market or afternoon tea at Fortnum and Mason.
Why guests love it
• Boutique hotel comfort in a real home
• Central London at your feet — but hidden away from the crowds
• Quiet at night, stylish by day
• Hosted with care by someone who knows the area inside out as well as knows how to host and guest.
