Select apartments have a terrace or balcony with city views of The Shard. Two-bedroom apartments have two separate bedrooms and two bathrooms. Some units have a mezzanine level.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Complete the online pre-check-in (passport copy, selfie, credit card authorization, and a £250-£350 security deposit) before 6pm on arrival day; failure to do so may result in no access.

  • 02

    Confirm lift availability before booking if you have mobility concerns or heavy luggage, as lifts have been reported broken during stays.

  • 03

    Prepare to vacate by 10:00 sharp - late checkout costs £25 per hour (up to 12:00) and must be requested at least a day in advance.

  • 04

    Budget for a taxi or off-site luggage storage, since no luggage storage is available on the property.
