The pictures don't do this apartment justice - it is much more stylish and spacious than depicted! It is also very quiet despite being in a major metropolitan area. But what is the best about the apartment is the location :
1. There's a Tube stop near Borough Market (London Bridge station), a five-minute walk away, and a bus stop right outside the door ... you can be anywhere in London within minutes (get yourself an Oyster card). We never needed to take a cab/Uber even once. Also, the train to Gatwick is only a ten-minute walk (London Blackfriars South station) and easy to do even with luggage.
2. Meanwhile, as previously mentioned, there are lots of food options close-by: Borough Market, restaurants, superb takeaway options, supermarkets including an M&S, etc.
3. The Thames pathway is only a few blocks away, which makes for a lovely stroll. Other tourist venues easily reached by walking 5-20mins: the London Eye, The Globe, Tate Modern, the Millenium Bridge & St. Paul's Cathedral, London Bridge, The Shard, Thames river cruises, the National Theatre. A bit longer but still reachable on foot - Waterloo station (major hub, including railway to Hampton Court), and Westminster Bridge (leading to Parliament, Westminster Abbey and Whitehall)
