Immediate vicinity:
Across the street from the Tower of London & next to the beautiful Trinity Square Gardens, a 1 min walk from the Tower Hill tube stop, you'll find this flat the ideal base from which to explore London! Many pubs & restaurants are within a 1-2 min walk.
Many points of historic interest are within 2 min, including the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, & the ruins of the wall of the Roman city of “Londinium”. Just across the street, in addition to the Tower of London, is All Hallows by the Tower, a 1,500 year old church that has import for US as well as British history – William Penn, founder of Pennsylvania, was baptized in the church as an infant, & John Quincy Adams, America’s 6th President & son of John Adams, America’s 2nd President, married there in 1797.
Due to the flat's proximity to the underground station, you can quickly be near any major attraction in central London: Buckingham Palace, Churchill's War Rooms, Whitehall, Parliament, Big Ben, Kensington Palace,Hyde Park, etc.
Area within 5-15 minutes walk of the flat.:
Also nearby (meaning a 15 min walk or less) is St Paul's Cathedral, Tower Bridge, St Katherine's Dock, Marina Shad Thames (riverwalk area with more restaurants & pubs), London Bridge, Southwark Cathedral, the Borough Market, Sir Francis Drake's ship the Golden Hinde, the HMS Belfast, & Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.
Shakespeare's Globe Theatre is a pleasant walk across either London or Millenium Bridge near Vinopolis, a wine museum with a lovely restaurant with wine tasting. (The theatre & restaurant are ideal for a unique dinner & show experience as part of a memorable & romantic evening.)
If you walk east about 10-15 min, you'll find yourself in London's East End, & perhaps at Brick Lane which is famous for its excellent Indian food! I highly recommend the Jack the Ripper Walking Tour of the East End, held at night 3-4 times per week and starting from the Tower Hill tube station, 1 min from the flat. St Kathryn's Docks Marina is 5-6 min east & has many shops, cafes & restaurants.
Inside the flat:
This flat is equipped with a microwave, oven and stove/hob, fridge and freezer, coffee maker, clothing washer & dryer, plasma TV & DVD player, DVD library (40-50 movies), CD/tape player/radio, CD music library (eclectic mix from classical to country music to classic rock to Glenn Miller to opera to jazz to R&B), small book library (about 40 books), & wireless DSL. The flat rental includes all linens, towels, & cutlery. Also included are free phone calls from the flat to the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and most of Europe.
The flat is perfect for a single, couple, or small family. There is a double-sized bed upstairs. There is also a very large, comfy sofa which is six foot two inches between armrests & which makes up nicely into a single bed if desired, & £200 UK double size Aero-Bed available for guests' use. (However, I need to say that the 5 person maximum really means 2 parents & 3 children. At 500 square feet, the flat is just too small for 5 adults.
