Description Dashwood's Diary: London

On a quiet street in Pimlico, you’ll feel a world away from central London in this third-floor flat. Bright and white, the simple contemporary decor fills the space with a sense of calm that feels like a soothing balm from the hustle and bustle of the city’s sights nearby. Step out onto the cheerful, west-facing balcony for a morning cup of tea with views over the rooftops before setting off to explore the city. Though compact, this home offers everything you need to make yourself right at home. With Victoria tube station just over a 10-minute walk away and plenty of iconic sights like the Thames and Tate Britain within walking distance, this is the perfect home for those wanting to be well-connected to the heart of the city while enjoying a relaxing, peaceful getaway.
