Great to have more space for a family than a hotel room plus the option of eating in and a washing machine was a bonus! Location was perfect for us, with several transport options within a couple minutes walk, tesco round the side of the building and wetherspoons and starbucks across the road. Wouldn't ever stay in a hotel again if this is available!

Kate Gibraltar

The location was great and security of the building gave added assurance. Staying for a week it was nice to have the extra space and a fully equipped kitchen. Air-con in the bedroom was welcomed as was the daily service for towels and washing up.

M United Kingdom

We enjoyed the flexibility of staying in an apartment - plenty of space for everyone - excellent kitchen facilities. Very handy to tube and train and within walking distance of tourist sites.

Robert United Kingdom

Everything, the location is amazing near 2 tube stations (Aldgate & tower hill), also near bus stations, 5 min walk from tower bridge 😍. It can take up to 4 adult people and was very comfortable and well maintained. The place is very clean and the furniture is new, everything/tools you need is in the apartment We really enjoyed our stay, thank you 😍

Basem Egypt

Settled perfectly in London only 30 Minutes by public transport to the ABBA Voyage Venue! Sainsbury, Coop and tesco are in a short walking distance.. Didn't found ALDI or Lidl though... Quiet house public transport 2 minutes away ...

Fujitsu Germany

Great location. Right in the center of London in zone 1. Next to the metro, DLR, buses, tesco and the tower bridge. Well-equipped kitchen, hot water, good wi-fi, tv with Netflix. Every day the cleaning lady took away the rubbish.

Neighbourhood information

Our apartments are quite possibly situated in the best part of London! We have so many repeat guests that love to walk around the City, wake up and go and see the Tower of London each day while taking in Tower Bridge and also The River Thames. Sit and relax and look at the super yachts in St. Katharines Dock or take something more demanding like the TATE Modern. Kids will love the HMS Belfast and the multiple free events just across the river at More London are hard to beat. Enjoy shopping then you have London's oldest markets with Borough Market and Petticoat Lane not forgetting Stratford Shopping Centre with all top brand fashions. If you are here to simply work, then why not have your office on your doorstep as we are in Zone 1 where apartments are hard to come by! Dining can suite all types of budgets, thats why its best to stay in the City and not the suburbs!
