Apartment in central London, walking distance to Buckingham Palace, Westminster and St James Park

A light and bright one bedroom apartment in Pimlico, near Victoria in central London. There is a separate eat-in kitchen. The lounge has a dining table and access to the west-facing balcony. The flat has one small bedroom with a double bed and open views, it is on the top (fifth) floor. The flat is approx. 50 square metres in size.

The apartment is centrally located within walking distance of Buckingham Palace, the London Eye, Westminster and Big Ben, Tate Britain gallery and the River Thames. It is close to Victoria rail, coach and bus stations and Pimlico tube station in transport zone 1, with a bus stop just outside the building. It is on the 5th (top) floor with lift and stair access. It has open views at the front and rear. Note that it is in central London so there is road traffic and aircraft noise.

The apartment is available for non-simultaneous exchanges. Note the apartment is suitable for a couple or an individual, not a family or larger group. The apartment and balcony are strictly non-smoking. There may also be an option to stay in our home in Bath.

We prefer exchanges to city or coastal locations and have previously exchanged with places including Bruges, Barcelona, Reykjavik, Budapest, Chicago, Rome, San Juan Islands - Washington State (USA), Canary Islands (Spain) Karlsruhe (Germany), Amsterdam, Stockholm, Vienna, Buenos Aires and Mendoza (Argentina), Havelock North and Nelson in New Zealand, Paris and Cornwall (UK).

Our Neighbourhood

Nearest Airport: London Heathrow or Gatwick - Gatwick has trains direct to Victoria so is easier - LHR 16 miles / LGW 26 miles

London is a world city and from the apartment you can easily walk to many attractions such as Buckingham Palace, Westminster, Big Ben, Tate Britain and the London Eye as well as to local shops, restaurants, markets, parks and the river Thames.

Locally in the Pimlico and Victoria area we have excellent restaurants including Lorne and A Wong (a Michelin-starred Chinese restaurant). There is a food market on Tachbrook Street and lots of independent shops and cafes as well as a large Sainsbury's supermarket nearby.

We are located between Victoria and Pimlico underground stations and on several bus routes.
Victoria railway station and Victoria coach station are both a short walk from the apartment, with Waterloo station slightly further away. Victoria coach station has direct coach services to most of Britain.
St Pancras International rail station is on the Victoria line that serves Victoria and Pimlico
London Gatwick airport has easy access by train to Victoria railway station and is the quickest and easiest airport to reach from the apartment.
London Heathrow airport has a direct coach service to Victoria, is on the Piccadilly underground line or can be accessed via Paddington railway station.
Luton airport can be accessed from the Victoria line and then train from St Pancras International
Stansted airport takes longer to reach via the Victoria line to Tottenham Hale and then the Stansted express train.
