Westminster Luxury Penthouse with River Views, Covent Garden
- Minimum stay:3 nights
- Internet:Yes
- Pets allowed:Yes
- Wheel chair accessible:Yes
Crowning the Playhouse Theatre and with a view across London that would make even the highest perching gargoyle envious, Parliament Penthouse in the heart of Westminster is the much-coveted trinity of luxury, view and location. Be careful; get lost in the astounding view of river boats on the Thames underscoring the financial district, Tower Bridge, The Shard, London Eye and the Houses of Parliament that make up the London skyline and you might just miss the rest of this stunning apartment, not to mention the city beneath your feet.
Space to luxuriate in
As you enter the penthouse, the light from the open plan living area spills down the hall, welcoming you into the divinely white and airy space that awaits. Three king-sized rooms with crisp white walls, lavish bathrooms and selected artworks rest just off the hallway – each furnished to the luxurious standard you’d expect from any Uber London Apartment. Tear yourself away from the bedrooms that will inevitably have you in their grips by nightfall and venture on into the truly resplendent open plan living area. Relax on the sofas in the sitting area and enjoy some television, or entertain guests in the dining area. The dining table seats ten, and is bound to be at the heart of many a memorable evening as you and your guests converse over tableside views of the city.
Pick a side
Descend from the celestial heights of our Parliament Penthouse and you’ll be torn. Seconds in one direction take you to the north bank of the River Thames, with views of the Houses of Parliament and the London Eye. Seconds in the other, and you’ll be on the Strand, the road that connects the founding site of the City of London with Trafalgar Square. Flip a coin and start exploring.
Beyond the river
The award winning Golden Jubilee Bridges, two twin cable-stayed pedestrian bridges that straddle the Hungerford railway bridge, strap across the river waiting to take you to the other side. Crossing the river via this feat of engineering proves to be both exhilarating and scenic as you see and feel the waters gushing underneath. On the other side, Southbank buzzes with its electric pedestrian scene. This promenade teems with street performers, art installations and bona fide attractions like the Sea Life London Aquarium and newly relocated London Dungeon. Hop on the London Eye and be back up in the clouds as you take in a more dynamic view of the city. You’ll be surprised at how much time you’ll be spending ‘south of the River’, with the Royal Festival Hall, British Film Institute, Hayward Gallery and many more diversions that make this area nearly impossible to leave.
In Royal company
Back across the river, the theatres, shops and restaurants along the Strand jostle to catch your eye. See a show, do some shopping or stop at a café and watch London stream by. Of course, for the most discerning guest, one could always chance a visit down the nearby Mall to see if the Queen is having visitors. Buckingham Palace, the official London residence of the British Monarch is simply a sight not to miss. More than a stately palace, Buckingham Palace is the focal point for the British in times of difficultly and celebration. Stand at the golden palace gates and feel the site resonate with memories of times that have shaped British life and the world around it – from the sea of flowers laid by a stunned nation in mourning to the sea of honorary wedding guests hailing a young Duke and Duchess. You will be moved.
Routed in history
Be moved in another way and catch one of London’s two remaining Routemaster bus routes. These bright red open-backed busses are one of the most enduring icons of London city life, and although the fleet was officially retired in 2005, popular demand has kept two routes, the 9 and the 15, in service. The 15 will take you from the top of the Mall, up the Strand and all the way to the steps of St. Paul’s Cathedral. Alight here and be transported to a historical time of turmoil and triumph. The building that stands today has done so since 1675, after just surviving the Great Fire of London. However, this area has been the site of worship for over 1400 years. Redesigned by Sir Christopher Wren, St. Paul’s Cathedral was the tallest building to stand in London right up until the 1960s. The addition of skyscrapers to the London skyline may have stripped this global landmark of its former accolade, but architects bow in reverence as regulations forbid the construction of any building within the cathedral’s radius that will block its view, lest any Londoner or visitor be deprived of the pleasure.
Return to your own penthouse view early one evening and catch the procession of flickering city lights that signal the end of another day in London. After waking up the next morning, you’ll face the battle once more of deciding what to do, for so much of London persists to be just outside your door:
-Covent Garden
-Westminster Abbey
-Downing Street
-Oxford Street
-Soho
-The National Gallery
-Trafalgar Square
-Piccadilly Circus, and much more.
And of course, catch a tube from Embankment Underground station, 30 seconds from the penthouse gates, and continue the adventure further a field.

I traveled to London with my family for Spring Break from the US. I was delighted to be greeted by Keiran and some of his team when we arrived. They were very helpful in getting us settled in. The Apartment could not have been in a better location. It was right next to the Embankment tube station, and the view of the London Eye, St. Paul's Cathedral and the River Thames was incredible. There were six of us and we were very comfortable, the kids loved it! When we return to London, we would love to stay her again.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, tourists without a car, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

First of all I ahve to mention how professional the service was, from the moment I enquired to the moment I left I felt like there was someone on the end of a phone ready to help me. I really ahve to compliment Keiran for being so attentive. There's not much to say about the property other than it was perfect, and exactly as advertised. Amazing location on the river with simply breathtaking views. We were recommended a little place round the corner called Gordons, which we absolutely loved! All in all , we really can't fault our stay, it was such a weight off our head to know we were being so well looked after as we usually stay in HotelsRecommended for: People with disabilities, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

I'm picky......very picky. I don't like surprises, especially bad ones........ so in planning my spring trip to the Chelsea flower show it was important that I know in advance what I was renting, Therefore, whilst in London this fall I inquired about visiting this apartment to see it before signing up. I know, this is an unusual request. However, Keiran was more than generous in taking the time to show me this incredible apartment (September 20th). It will be perfect for my stay and I'm thrilled to know my guests will be pampered by Keiran in this lovely flat. So here is a review in advance! The best location, an impecible apartment, a charming host. I can't wait to stay.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

Thank you Keiran for such an amazing time while we were in London. The apartment is exquisite and the location is second to none. You were so kind to us and our every need was catered for, even a few nice little surprises. We have never had wine and chocs ready for us on arrivalbefore! So thoughtful. The luxury of the apratment and the views made us want to stay in and I could never have imagined how panoramic and breathtaking the views would be, even fom the photos on the site. Thank you again and I hope to book in again when we are in London next.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, people with disabilities, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

This apartment was perfect for my family size of seven. The view was absolutely fantastic, we were in the middle of London, there were great food places and everything was close which was very helpful for a family like mine. The rooms were great and a perfect size, and the number of bathrooms was very convenient. The kitchen was beautiful and everything worked perfectly fine. The televisions have cable and netflix is installed so you can stream movies. The management was great, they were very nice and helpful.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway.

I stayed in this apartment for a week and I had the most amazing of times - a true home away from home. It is super-central with 2 underground stations within seconds (not minutes!) away - although the apartment is so central I walked everywhere from Buckingham Palace (5 min walk away) to Westminster and Big Ben (3 min walk away). Keiran has been very attentive and it truly is the nicest of hosts. The apartment has a spectacular view on the river Thames with 180 degrees view from St Paul Cathedral to the London Eye and Big Ben... it is so rare that make the apartment truly unique. The bedrooms are comfortable and I loved the parquet flooring and the decor - slick and modern but very homely. Would definitely recommend the apartment to all my friends and family! FOR MY ITALIAN FRIENDS / IN ITALIANO... Sono stato in questo appartamento per una settimana mentre ero a Londra per una mini-vacanza, e l'appartamento e' spettacolare! L'appartamento ha una vista stupenda sul Tamigi che va dalla Cattedrale di St Paul, alla Ruota (London Eye) al Big Ben. E' super-centrale con due metropolitane a pochi secondi (non minuti!) di cammino, anche se e' talmente centrale che sono arrivato a Trafalgar Square in 1 minuto, al Big Ben in 3 minuti e a Buckingham Palace in 5 minuti a piedi. Keiran e' stato gentilissimo e puntuale con qualsiasi richiesta fatta. Le camere sono molto comode e adoro il fatto che c'e' parquet e non moquette... l'appartamento e' arredato in maniera moderna, ma e' decisamente confortevole. Consigliero' l'appartamento a tutti i miei amici e familiari!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, people with disabilities, tourists without a car, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.
