If dates are blocked, please message me if you are interested.

Experience London from this stylish Zone 1 penthouse, nestled alongside Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens. A lift conveniently near your door whisks you up to a contemporary retreat with three cosy seating areas and a generous terrace boasting panoramic views of the park, London’s iconic skyline and glimpses of the Thames.

Step outside to explore the Gardens’ City Farm, the charming Tea House Theatre and a host of lively bars—all on your doorstep. You’re only five minutes on foot from the Tube, placing the capital’s top sights at your fingertips. For an unforgettable stay in a vibrant riverside borough, look no further than this welcoming home-from-home. For my US friends, I live very very near the European US Embassy.

From previous guests experience this property also really suites well those of an older generation and with walking impairments as its very close to the Metro, bars, restaurants and supermarkets within a few minutes of walking!

Lovely Apartment / Great Location
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Paul’s lovely flat. The location was perfect. It is located by the Pleasure Gardens, which are nice to stroll through, and is central to the vibrant local neighborhood with various restaurant and pub options, plus nearby grocery stores. Additionally, it is a short 5-minute or less walk to the Underground and train station. This made it very convenient to travel anywhere in London. The flat was clean, cozy, and inviting, with everything you might need and more. We loved coming back to the flat to relax after a long day. We also enjoyed the terrace overlooking the park with great views of the city. Paul provided lots of information about the local area and recommendations for London. Communication was great! I would highly recommend staying at Paul’s for your trip to London.

Wonderful apartment
This property is clean, and large, compared to other locations Ive rented. It had everything you’d need for a successful trip. Paul sends lots of information about the apartment and the Vauxhall area around the apartment. The apartment is on the top floor with an AMAZING patio to put your feet up after a long day of sightseeing. Enjoy a beautiful sunset, and the park down below. The apartment is close to every form of public transportation as well.

Ants & Personality Swing of Owner
The location of the property was pretty good, as advertised - easy to get to the Tube, Buses, etc. However, the apartment has an ANT issue. I have written correspondence (WhatsApp) proving that he confirmed he has problem with ants every year because of the greenery he has on his terrace. My wife even stopped watching TV on the only seating in the small living room area because she kept finding ants on her. Mind you, I was just letting him know - I NEVER asked for a refund or any form of compensation. Again, he confirmed that he's aware of the problem and asked for pictures. I sent several pictures of ants in several different locations around the kitchen and eating area. I also confirmed that we barely ate there and what snacks we occasionally ate were kept in the refrigerator and the counters were always cleaned. When he saw the pictures, he wrote back apologizing again and offering a refund on one of the days and I gladly accepted and told him that I really appreciated that. However, about 9 days after we returned home I realized that I had never received this refund he offered. When I wrote him asking if he was still sending the refund, the response I received from him was like I was speaking to an entirely different person. Now he completely denied having an ant problem, accused me of "blackmailing" him (again, I never asked for anything from him), and said VRBO would never post my review even if I posted one. Strange gentleman, indeed.

An Awesome Stay
This lovely apartment in Vauxhall was a perfect retreat after busy days in London. The underground is 5 minutes away, making access to the entire city so easy. Paul is a gracious host, always available if you have any questions. The apartment is quite comfortable, equipped with all the essentials. We loved the neighborhood, lots of great ethnic restaurants, lovely river walks and easy grocery shopping.our weeks stay was a delight.

Wow! Great place and Great Location
What a nice place in a great location to see all of London. One reason, I reserved this place was because of the good reviews about Paul our Host and he did not disappoint. You can’t go wrong with this place. Great safe location, close to transportation hubs, restaurants, and popular tourist locations. Very easy to get anywhere from this location. Home and accommodations were very nice and offered a great quiet place for us to relax after a day of sight-seeing. Great views as well. We took some great nighttime photo’s, from the penthouse and plan to have the picture framed to remember the trip. When I come back to London, I am staying here.

I can't say enough good things about this lovely and well-located little flat. As described and maybe even better! The host was so helpful and available. It was my family's first time experiencing London and all of Paul's suggestions were spot on. Hope to get back again soon.

Perfect flat in a great location!
I can't say enough positive things about this flat and host! From pre-booking on through to checking out, Paul was super responsive and so very helpful. The location is superb being only 5 min walk to the tube and bus station as well as having quick access to the river walk along the south bank. The flat offers all amenities needed for a home away from home stay and Paul provides an amazing amount of help and information for navigating London. Be sure to also check out The Tea House Theater just over the other side of the park for great desserts in a cozy atmosphere!

This was an amazing experience! Paul provided excellent communication throughout, from prior to our departure until we left to go home. The property is very nice, plenty of room for 2 people and a nice location near transportation, grocery and dining. He was available to answer questions very quickly and provided hints and suggestions for exploring London. We definitely recommend Paul as a host and his home as your home while in London. LOVED our stay!

The Owner was Incredibly Helpful
Not only did the apartment meet our expectations, but it exceeded them. The introduction information including directions, maps, manuals, etc. simplified every experience. We felt like we were coming home after each long day of being a tourist. It was comfortable, attractive, and had a breathtaking view. The owner gave us excellent suggestions regarding recommended pubs, sights, and directions. The neighborhood, Vauxhall restaurants, and park below were full of families from a wide variety of cultures. It always felt very safe. Train, buses, and the underground were only a block away. Perfect!

About the host

Hosted by Paul Hayes

Host profile image
I am Welsh. I have a successful career in Government in Digital Services. I have travelled a lot and stayed in people's homes. I try and give guests the best possible experience I would want when I travel. This is really important to me. I am doing a master's in psychology and training to be a life coach and change careers, so the need to help others and enrich people's lives rubs off on me for being a host.

Why they chose this property

Vauxhall is one of the most cosmopolitan areas of London as I like that people are really across ta wide socioeconomic scale, so everybody feels inclusive. I live in the park so they can not build in front of me, for London that is gold, so I have an amazing few of the park and beyond.

What makes this property unique

It's my home. So you feel the vibe of a happy modern relaxed home with all the essentials as if you were in your home.
