Designer Retreat Near The Amazing Borough Market

Gently stylish, this hideaway occupies a sleepy backstreet in the regenerated London Bridge area. Food-focused Borough Market is minutes away, an historic wine bar waits next door and the Shard, Britain’s tallest building, is thrillingly visible from your bedroom window. The designer interior features original brickwork and a cobbled courtyard represent the Victorian origins of this building. There’s also an attractive kitchen and a long sofa for horizontal TV-watching. You'll be cosy, comfy and extremely content. No check-ins after 2300hrs. We re-furbished the apartment to a very high standard for our own use. The sitting room is large, comfortable & sunny, furnished with a beautiful Italian sofa, leather armchair, a ‘Noguchi coffee table. This is complimented by a walnut floor, designer lighting and an original restored Victorian warehouse brick wall. The dining area has a walnut wood dining table and four ‘Eames' chairs. This leads into the white modern, kitchen with white stone worktops. You will find the kitchen is fully equipped and includes an integrated dishwasher, washing machine / dryer, microwave,fridge and a Nespresso coffee make but you will need to bring your own pods. The bedroom has a very comfortable king size bed (often mentioned in reviews!). There is a large modern Italian wardrobe with drawers & plenty of hanging space. The design is completed with a stylish mirrored dressing and bedside tables. From this room double doors with a french balcony offer great views of the iconic ‘Shard' building. We offer guests the choice of either feather or anti-allergy pillows and duvet and a hairdryer is provided. The new bathroom has a modern white suite including a large walk in shower with both overhead rainfall and wall mounted shower heads. There is a large heated towel rail and full length mirror. We provide luxury shower gel, shampoo / conditioner and soap. Normal check-in time is from 4pm until 10pm, if the flat is available we are happy to accommodate an early check-in. We can receive guests between 8.30am - 10.00pm Monday to Saturday and only until 6pm on a Sunday, if you need to arrive outside of this time period please enquire if we can meet you before you book. We don't meet people after midnight, so please check your flight arrives well before 10pm as it takes about an hour and half to get into central London from both major airports - Heathrow and Gatwick and passport control can take up to an hour or more depending on where you're flying from. Access to the property is by a fob key through big, secure, double external doors leading into a pretty cobbled courtyard. The same fob key accesses another door on the left, which takes you up two flights of stairs to our apartment. There isn't a lift, but the stairs are manageable. Feel free to contact me anytime via Airbnb or my mobile. I'm happy to answer any questions and to help in any way. Set on a cobbled street in Central London, the flat is around the corner from The Shard and the amazing Borough Market, Walking distance to the River Thames, the Tate Modern Gallery, The Tower of London and Tower Bridge.
