1. The houseboat with views of Tower Bridge
Do you need much more than this from your London Airbnb? Trust us, it’s a pretty special way to spend your time, out on the Thames with the centre of the capital buzzing about beside you. And don’t think of this as just some little boat bobbing about on the water, because it’s basically a proper house, with four beds (all cabins are above water) and some pretty serious kit inside; we’re talking vintage furniture (including a 1920's oak dining table designed for Churchill’s Chartwell House), Egyptian cotton on the beds, Sky Q, a Sonos system and authentic artwork from names you’ll probably recognise. Plus it comes with a bundle of history. It’s pretty cool, we have to say.
What’s the budget range? An economic stay in central London. Ideal for large groups.
What’s it like to stay here? The boho vintage interiors give the houseboat a seriously cosy feel, while you're moments away from BFI, the National Theatre, and the Tate Modern.
Rooms: 4 beds, 2.5 baths. Sleeps 10.
