Let's not beat around the bush – we love this apartment because of the spectacular views. What it lacks in home comforts, it makes up for with panoramas spanning across the whole of London. Floor-to-ceiling windows put the scenery front and centre, but the balcony takes the cake for the best vantage point. After all, nothing beats a sundowner with a view of the Shard and Canary Wharf. The design is ultra-contemporary, if a little uninspired, but the location is spot-on. Foodies will love being a short walk from Borough Market and the area's trendy eateries, while the nearby Tube makes exploring the city an absolute breeze.
Home truths: *Home comforts are lacking here. We think it's best suited to those looking for a base to use when travelling for work. *There isn't a desk here, but the dining table can double as a laptop-friendly workspace. *You won't need a car in this location. Borough Underground station is just a short walk away.
