This splendid 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom, multilevel holiday home is in the company of other luxury apartments close to the refreshing River Thames. It is near to cosmopolitan wonders yet far from the urban hustle and bustle.

The property serves as your happy place in the London Borough of Southwark, and it is close to the good old London Bridge, the iconic Tower Bridge, and the world-famous Tower of London. Off the cobbled street are antiques dealers, fashion shops, cafés, and parks.

The light-colored, country-themed interiors take pride in the timber ceilings and wooden window frames, and these give a merry contrast to the contemporary flooring. The open-plan living space is a delight, what with lots of brightness and breeziness from outside. The sitting room doubles as a TV room, and close by is the library with a workstation and a shelf filled with books. The dining area graciously provides for four persons, and the kitchen is fully equipped. It leads to a wooden deck furnished with a table for two and surrounded by greenery. The bedroom has a king-size bed covered in crisp linens, and the bathroom features a tub.

Closest tube station: London Bridge, a 10-minute leisurely walk from the northern end of Carmarthen Place.
