Rent 2 bedroom flat in London

This great apartment is more boutique hotel than high-end rental. Tucked away in this cocoon of 24-hour concierge, on site gyms, and green spaces, it is perfect for anyone moving into the area for a relatively short period of time, and who prefer their own space to the anonymity of a soul-less hotel. For those flying solo, there is masses to do on your doorstep, and it's a lock and go situation; for those staying at home while their partners travel, there is high security, excellent shopping and plenty to do to ward off that ultimate relationship killer, loneliness. This great apartment has just been completely re-modelled, everything is brand spanking new and a re-locators dream option. The whole place is decorated in calming shades of grey, and decorated to an extremely high spec. The kitchen would appeal to the inner chef in anyone, and has a round balcony leading off it, where you can comfortably seat four or six, overlooking the charming gardens. With that space and the reception room, you have a perfect entertainment zone. The bedrooms are big doubles, the bathrooms immaculate, and the storage spaces (and their finish) will make you very happy indeed. Richmond was recently deemed the happiest place in London to live and you can see why. With award winning restaurants, great schools, and a theatre famous for its productions, as well as all the beauty of Richmond Park on your doorstep in which to externalise, there is always something to perk up your day. Heathrow is 20 minutes (on a good day) and Gatwick airport is 55 minutes by train from Richmond station. On that point, Richmond station is ideal for the City – 18 minutes into Waterloo and it also has the District Line Tube. For the hard-core sports fan, this is also the capital of Rugby Union, with Twickenham, (England), the Stoop (Harlequins) and the Old Deer Park (London Welsh) all close by.
