Cosy 1 bedroom flat near the London eye Overview

You know what struck me first about this place? It actually feels like someone’s home, not a sterile rental unit. The moment you walk into this one-bedroom flat on Kennington Road, there’s this immediate sense that you’re staying somewhere with character – I mean, the furnishings aren’t brand new or anything, but everything’s thoughtfully arranged and genuinely comfortable. The bedroom has this lovely natural light that streams in during the morning, and honestly, the bed is way better than what you’d expect from most London flats in this price range.

The location is where this place really shines, though. You’re literally a fifteen-minute walk to the London Eye – I timed it – but here’s the thing most people don’t realize: you’re actually on the perfect side of the Thames for exploring. Kennington Road puts you right in that sweet spot where you can easily walk to Westminster Bridge, but you’re also incredibly close to Borough Market (about twenty minutes on foot) and all those amazing food spots around London Bridge. The Kennington tube station is practically around the corner, which is brilliant because you’re on the Northern line – gets you to Camden, King’s Cross, all those areas tourists love without the hassle of transfers. Plus, and this might sound weird, but the street itself is pretty quiet considering how central you are. I was expecting London traffic noise all night, but it’s actually quite peaceful.

What I really appreciated were the small touches that show someone cares about this place. The kitchen is compact but has everything you actually need – proper coffee maker, decent knives, even some basics like salt and oil left behind. There’s a small dining table by the window where I ended up working on my laptop most mornings, watching the neighborhood wake up. The shower pressure is solid (you’d be surprised how often that’s an issue in London flats), and there’s enough storage space that you’re not living out of your suitcase. The Wi-Fi is reliable, which matters if you’re trying to plan your days or stay connected. Check-in was straightforward – clear instructions, responsive host, no drama. I will say the building itself is fairly typical London housing, so don’t expect luxury finishes or anything fancy, but everything works well and feels clean and maintained. For a 4-star rating with a 7.8 score, it delivers exactly what it promises: a comfortable, well-located base for exploring London that won’t break the bank and actually feels like a home away from home.
