18th May 2015

Heading to London for the weekend? From swanky apartments with panoramic views of the city, to cosy hideaways with no internet or electricity, check out our wishlist for the best Airbnb rentals in the capital.

1. St Pancras Clock Tower

Surely London’s most incredible Airbnb – you can actually stay in the St Pancras clock tower! The ten metre high room in the tower also looks out upon other famous landmarks such as St Paul’s Cathedral.

2. Round Room in the Sky

One of the most unique and eye-catching listings on Airbnb, this ’round room in the sky’ is a great option for those seeking the unconventional.

3. Riverside Apartment

This stunning riverside apartment combines panoramic views of the city, a prime central location, and spacious and stylish interior. Part of the award-winning NEO Bankside development on the Southbank, this property comes equipped with a 24 hour concierge service and a residents’ gym.

4. Designer Canal Oasis

There are a handful of houseboats listed on Airbnb, and they are an increasingly popular option for those who want to experience London from the river. This one is our favourite, combining novelty with design in one of the most unusual properties on Airbnb.

5. Piccadilly Circus Yurt

This is the perfect choice if you want to combine country and city life. With Piccadilly Circus just a stone’s throw away, you can enjoy this peaceful sanctuary in the knowledge that central London is on your doorstep.

6. Eco Paradise

Yes, another yurt, but this Airbnb offers no electricity or internet. This eco house promotes a more simple way of living, and certainly one for those seeking a cosy hideaway while staying in the city. Oh, and there’s a hot tub in the garden.

7. Victorian Shop

Surround yourself with history and culture with a stay at this unique Airbnb property. This quirky Grade II listed former Victorian shop boasts beautiful art nouveau tiled walls, a mahogany cashier’s booth, and a mosaic tiled floor.

8. Camden Garden Cabin

A great choice, particularly for the summer, this cosy garden cabin leads out to a beautiful decked garden perfect for enjoying breakfast or relaxing afternoons in the sun. With a fantastic location in the heart of the popular Camden area, this property is ideal if you’re looking for a sunny stay in the city.

9. Stylish Penthouse

One of the classiest London listings, this designer penthouse boasts striking architecture, chic furnishing and spectacular views of Chelsea.
