Garden Flat Pimlico - right in the Heart of London- fantastic location!
Ponsonby Terrace is a classic London basement flat. Comprising of an open plan kitchen/breakfast room, comfortable living area, separate bathroom and bedroom. It has the addition of a secluded, pretty courtyard garden. Comfortably accommodates 2 guests ( and up to 3 if using the sofa bed ) Fun and simply furnished - its a great place to stay and explore London, with the Thames and Tate Britain just around the corner.
Patio doors open from the bedroom to the walled courtyard garden where you will find a wooden table and 4 chairs. In the summer months, the AGA cooker and oven is turner off as its make the apartment too warm. So there is an induction hob and a counter top single oven. The AGA is on in the autumn and winter months.
We loved our flat in Pimlico! This was the perfect home base for exploring London. It was super convenient to several bus lines and the Pimlico Underground Train Station was a few blocks away. There are also 2 ferry stops within walking distance. Our host was wonderful to work with and gave us several great local tips. The block was quiet and we felt safe at all hours. We would stay here again next time we are in London and will recommend it to all our friends. It was exactly as pictured.
It was the perfect location for our 5 night stay in London. A great place to relax and unwind after long days of being tourists! Near the tube station and buses. Very clean and comfortable. Great to have laundry and the kitchen. Our host was very helpful. Thank you!
The flat is in a great location - close to the Tube and attractions. John is a wonderful host who is very helpful/responsive. The place has everything you need for your stay which is great when you are traveling from abroad. Although it is a basement apartment, it gets plenty of light and has a lovely outside space.
This flat makes a refreshing contrast to antiseptic âcorporateâ options, with colorful and comfortable furnishings and decor, a kitchen with actually useful utensils (chosen by someone who cooks, it seems) and special touches of hospitality like extra towels, spices in the cabinet, and spare adaptors for plugging in electronics. Our landlord was communicative and friendly and eager to share info on local cafes and shops, including via a helpful Google map he's prepared. Everything was clean and tidy and in good shape. We had never used an Aga stove but easily learned it from the Aga cookbooks helpfully left nearby. The stove added a toasty warmth to the kitchen area during the late-winter weather of our stay. That weather kept us from using the back garden, but it would have been nice on warmer days. And we appreciated the unfussy check-out. As for the location, access to Thames bank walks and bridges was fast and easy -- perfect for running and exploring. The Victoria line tube stop is a quick stroll from the flat. The only drawback (minor) in this location is the sparseness of nearby retail: some cafes and takeaways but the closest groceries are all pretty small. We would definitely stay here again.
Perfect spot for exploring central London, and a quiet respite after a full day. The flat was as described, just perfect for my daughter and I. John provided great recommendations and was super helpful overall. Great communication from the time we booked the flat right up until we left. Fantastic!
Iâve stayed in a lot of apartments in London, as I travel there often for work. Johnâs is one of the best: exactly like the photos, easy check-in, excellent communication. John also had some great recommendations for neighborhood cafes and restaurants. I would definitely stay there again. The Aga is fantastic, especially on February evenings.
What a great place to stay. Very close to Pimlico train station. Great little neighbour hood for a walk as well. The host John is excellent to get back to you if you have questions. Our last day when we were leaving I couldnt find my oyster card to get on subway. John to the rescue he had extra one loaded for us and met us at train station. Do not hesitate to stay here.
This comfortable and homely garden flat is an ideal place to stay to explore London and enjoy being in an interesting inner London community. John could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Highly recommended. We would stay again.
Communication was excellent and my stay was a joy. It was just me for a week at the apartment and I had a lovely time resting in this comfortable, cosy (but not cramped!) flat after a lot of travel. When I was ready to see the sights, I found the busses were close and well connected. The waterfront is a block away and a great stroll. I would certainly stay again!
The property is well situated steps from The Tate Britain, Vauxhall Bridge and a nice stroll along the south bank westward towards the newly developed Battersea Power plant. Slightly out of the hustle and bustle but close enough to walk or hop on the tube or even the UBER Boat!The owner was very communicative and the property well maintained. Would be wonderful in the summer as there is a little patio out back. Thanks for providing us a home away from home.
This flat is an absolute gem. It is a comfortable, cozy space in the heart of a quiet neighborhood. It is just a few minutes walk to the Pimlico tube station. There are great dining, pub, and grocer options in very walkable distances. The little patio outside was great for relaxing after a day of walking all over London. John, the host, was a wealth of information and supremely helpful. My only regret is that we could not stay longer - I do hope to be back!
The flat is in a great location and it has all the kitchen amenities you need. There are grocery stores nearby so you can purchase breakfast items. Pimlico Fresh, about a 15 minute walk, has amazing breakfasts. Over the Vauxhall Bridge, there is a market of food stalls for an inexpensive dinner. The bedroom is very nice and it extends to an outside sitting area. The washer and dryer were a big help but the dryer takes a very long time, so just be prepared. John, the host is very nice and good at answering questions.
I highly enjoyed my two week stay in this clean, cheerful, well supplied flat. The location is perfect for exploring central London and the flat owner, John, couldn't be more helpful. The bathroom does not have a shower which might present a challenge for those with hip or knee problems. Also, the sloped bathroom ceiling could be a problem if you are tall (I'm 5'3" and didn't have a lot of head room). But these are minor reservations given all the many pluses the flat offers. I would definitely stay again!
I have been scammed numerous times and thought this property was too good to be true, and I was so wrong! It was even better than the ad! John was amazing; he texted/called me numerous times and made the entire process so easy. I really couldn't find anything to complain about at all. My daughter lives in London and I will stay at this property every time I go to visit. The only thing it needed was a puppy to cuddle with in front of the AGA!
Our stay was just perfect in every way. From arrival to our departure. John the owner was just so friendly and very accommodating. The flat met all our needs and was as advertised, with the added bonus of a lovely courtyard. The shower could be a challenge for some, with a low ceiling, however we managed it just fine. The flat is in an ideal location, bus and train close by, shops and great pubs for a lunch or dinner and of course The Tate Britain just around the corner. We chose to walk everywhere as we were so central. Highly recommend the stay and would definitely book again.
The apartment was very pleasant and comfortable. It was nice to have a little green space out the back and having a washer and dryer was even better! It was all very nice.
We had an amazing stay here for our honeymoon. First time visiting London and this location is very convenient to get to from the airport via tube. Very close to the tube station and a bus station so getting around was super easy. Also nice that it's on a less busy street with the Tate Gallery right around the corner and some great food and drink nearby! You can easily walk from this location to many big ticket attractions like Westminster Abbey, the House of Parliament, and Buckingham Palace. The place itself was perfect for us especially with having a washer and drier. We didn't much use the kitchen but plenty of supplies to make your own meals. TV with roku was convenient as well as wifi. We did note that the wifi does not make it through the walls very well meaning the living room is the only room with good signal but this wasn't of much importance to us. Also has a nice collection of travel guide books and John had great recommendations himself. We really loved Morpeth Arms around the corner!
This is our second stay in this delightful London flat with outdoor garden and patio space a real added bonus. The flat is very warm and cosy in the winter, when we stayed - and has such a friendly atmosphere with its kitchen Aga and bright, cheery kitchen table and very spacious sitting room for lounging and relaxing.
The bedroom is large and the bed very comfortable - and we did not feel at all cramped in this flat, even with our 2 adult kids sleeping in the sitting room on the sofabed.
Great location - short walk to Pimlico tube station - and all of London's attractions and sites. Shops, coffee shops and other amenities are closeby.
Owner friendly, helpful and communicative
Highly recommend this gem of a flat!
