About this property

Garden Flat in Pimlico — Right in the Heart of London, Fantastic Location!

Ponsonby Terrace is a classic London basement flat, comprising an open-plan kitchen and breakfast room, a comfortable living area, a separate bathroom, and a bedroom. It also benefits from a secluded, pretty courtyard garden.

The flat comfortably accommodates 2 guests, or up to 3 when using the sofa bed. Fun and simply furnished, it is a great place to stay while exploring London, with the Thames and Tate Britain just around the corner.

Patio doors open from the bedroom onto the walled courtyard garden, where you will find a wooden table and four chairs.

Please note that during the summer months, the AGA cooker and oven are turned off, as they make the apartment too warm. An induction hob and countertop Air- frier/oven are provided instead. The AGA is switched on during the autumn and winter months

Absolutely delightful

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.

Wonderful Stay in London Flat

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.

Excellent flat

I’ve stayed in a lot of apartments in London, as I travel there often for work. John’s 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.

Just fabulous!

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.

Lovely flat in a lovely neighborhood

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!

Lovely stay in Pimlico

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.

Terrible bathroom and no air circulation

The room is in the basement, the bathroom is very small and difficult to take shower. Since there is no air circulation, the room feels very moldy

Response from VrboOwner on 17 Jul, 2025
I’m sorry, Tong that you were disappointed with the bathroom. I wish you had mentioned this when we meet soon after your arrival as I could have shown you that there is air circulation in the bathroom and the on/off switch is to the left of the basin. I appreciate your comment and will make sure this is re-iterated to future guests.

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.

Charming flat in ideal location!

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!

Great location, lovely flat

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.

Great stay!

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!

Amazing

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!

Fabulous spacious flat in superb location

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!
