Honestly, when I first saw this place listed as “3 Million Pound Luxury Large Tower Bridge Direct Views,” I rolled my eyes a bit at the name – it sounds like someone threw every search keyword into a blender. But you know what? They’re not lying about those views. I mean, you’re literally staring straight at Tower Bridge from the living room windows, and it’s the kind of view that makes you stop mid-conversation because a boat’s going through or the bridge is opening.
The apartment sits right on Potters Fields Park – which, if you don’t know the area, is that lovely green space where all the tourists gather to take bridge photos, but also where locals actually bring their dogs and kids. You’ll hear the buzz from the park during the day, especially on weekends when there are events, but it dies down completely after dark. The location is honestly brilliant for exploring – you can walk to Borough Market in about eight minutes (I timed it), and the South Bank is right there. Actually, staying here made me realize how much easier it is to pop back for a rest when you’re doing the whole London Bridge to Westminster walk that everyone does.
Inside, it’s properly spacious for London standards – sleeps six without anyone feeling cramped on pull-out sofas, which is saying something. The kitchen’s actually functional too, not just there for show, though you’ll probably end up eating out most of the time with Borough Market so close. What I really appreciated were the little touches that show someone actually thought about guests living here: good wifi (important if you’re traveling for work), decent water pressure, and – this sounds silly but matters – enough outlets near the beds for charging phones. The building itself is modern, so you don’t get those charming creaky floors of older London flats, but you also don’t get the quirks like doors that don’t quite close or showers that randomly run cold.
Check-in was smooth, though parking is basically nonexistent around here – you’re looking at expensive day rates in the underground car parks nearby if you’re driving. The Tube connections are solid though; London Bridge station is a quick walk and gets you pretty much anywhere. I’d say the 8.2 rating feels about right – it’s not trying to be the Savoy, but for a group wanting to actually stay somewhere with character and those views, rather than just another hotel room, it delivers. The price point definitely reflects that location and the fact that you’re getting a proper apartment, but honestly, split between six people and considering what you’d pay for three decent hotel rooms with any kind of view, it starts to make sense.
