Orange Blossom & Nectarine

Set only a short walk away from the Walthamstow Wetlands, this home not only connects you to the hustle and bustle of the melting pot that is London but also accommodates you when you find yourself craving a bit of tranquillity. Grab a coffee from one of the local cafes and take a walk down to this London Wildlife Trust sit where you can birdwatch and even pack a lunch to enjoy at the picnic tables.

And if you still haven't had enough of the outdoors, you can take back fresh pastries to enjoy out on the terrace of this home. After a stretch outside, gather the group inside to help with lunch preparations and enjoy it at the striking dining table. Of course, if you aren't in the mood to cook – and who would be, you’re on holiday after all – you can dine at one of the surrounding restaurants instead.

End evenings with a relaxing bath before a cup of hot cocoa on the sofa. Settle in for a peaceful night's sleep to recharge for the next day's explorations.

Home truths:

*Your host can provide a cot and high chair for free upon request
*Your host asks that you please respect quiet hours between 8pm and 8am
*Hen and stag parties are not allowed at this home
*Parking in London can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible – though we think the best way to see the city is on foot
