Flashes of Brilliance

Flashes of Brilliance: Greater London

With high-end restaurants sitting next to high-rise buildings, Canary Warf has become one of the trendiest neighbourhoods in London – and this contemporary apartment is no exception. All bells and whistles are covered, from a wine cooler and a soaker bathtub to a cinema-style projector screen in the living area. There's even speedy wi-fi and a separate study ideal for business travellers. And, of course, the wraparound terrace boasting fantastic views across the Wharf is absolutely spectacular. The home is currently for sale, so expect a few viewings (and a complimentary tidy service) during your stay – but don't worry, your lovely hosts will give you plenty of notice.
