Southwark Bridge Road 3 Bermondsey

If homes could win Oscars, then Southwark Bridge Road 3 would be a shoo-in. It has the looks, with its enormous windows, soaring lines and cushions as plump and red as a starlet’s lower lip. And it definitely has the charisma – a stay here is a stay you’ll never forget. Tucked behind Tate Modern, with the Thames lapping at the end of the road, you’ve scenery to please even the pickiest cinematographer. Take a curtain call at the National Theatre, or touch the stars on the London Eye. And forget catering trucks - when you break for lunch, you can choose your repast from the wares of one of the world’s top foodie destinations, Borough Market.
