Apartment in central London, walking distance to Buckingham Palace

A light and bright one bedroom apartment in Pimlico, near Victoria in central London. There is a separate eat-in kitchen. The lounge has a dining table and access to the small west-facing balcony.

The apartment is centrally located within walking distance of Buckingham Palace, The London Eye, Westminster and Big Ben and the River Thames. It is close to Victoria rail, coach and bus stations and Pimlico tube stations in transport zone 1, with a bus stop just outside the building. It is on the 5th (top) floor with lift and stair access. It has open views at the front and rear.

The apartment is available for non-simultaneous exchanges. We can manage a 'quarantine' period between guests and our own stays there. We currently have various family members working from our home in Bath that we have previously used for home exchanges.

We prefer exchanges to city or coastal locations and have previously exchanged with places including Bruges, Barcelona, Reykjavik, Budapest, Chicago, Rome, San Juan Islands - Washington State (USA), Canary Islands (Spain) Karlsruhe (Germany), Amsterdam, Stockholm, Vienna, Buenos Aires and Mendoza (Argentina), Havelock North and Nelson in New Zealand and Paris.
