The Merge

The Merge: Greater London

This home really is bang in the centre of London with the River Thames right on its doorstep. The muted but quirky decor makes it a peaceful haven to relax in after a day spent exploring on foot, and you’ll relish feasting on river views from all angles thanks to the home’s singular, curved design. We love the floral notes that create a soft juxtaposition to the towering city views, while the bathroom’s rainfall shower is just the ticket to get any day off to a relaxing start. Factor in your access to the building’s shared gym and its chic, sociable communal areas, and it will start to feel like a home away from home in no time. When it comes to meals, cross the river and grab some fresh produce from famed Borough Market (a fourteen-minute walk) to cook at home, or head to the stylish restaurant downstairs for an upmarket dining experience. The sightseeing opportunities, meanwhile, are endless from this prime spot with St Paul’s Cathedral a seven-minute walk, Shakespeare’s Globe a nine-minute stroll and the Museum of London just thirteen minutes away on foot.
