Rent House Opera Bread London Bridge

Housed in a former stable building in Southwark, this quirky home is full of characterful curiosities and charming original features – like the kitchen’s repurposed tie points once used for horses. With its high ceilings, A-frame windows and eclectic art featured in every room, you’ll have plenty to marvel at whether you’re in the large open living room or tucked away in the mezzanine bedroom. While the giant stuffed gorilla perched above the living space is an immediate eye-catcher, our favourite feature of this home has to be the rooftop terrace. Whether you start your mornings off here with a coffee or spend sunsets around its table and chairs over drinks, you’ll feel on top of the world in this secluded spot. When you’re not out sampling Borough Market’s international food stalls, visiting the towering Shard or admiring art at the Tate Modern – all within walking distance – enjoy a quiet hour or two in the study with a good book or kick back in the living room (under King Kong’s watchful eye) with a glass of wine and your favourite tunes on the Sonos sound system. Cook up dinner on the impressive Mercury range cooker, enjoy a final tipple on the terrace, then finish the night off with a soak in the Jacuzzi tub.
