Key Info
  • Located by the Albert Embankment in the heart of London, this residence has a selection of stylish en-suite rooms in shared apartment’s moments away from the infamous River Thames and minutes away from Vauxhall Tube and Overground Station.
  • The residence’s fantastic location means that you are only just a short walk away from many shops, café’s, bars and restaurants that London has to offer.

Location

The residence is located just off Black Prince Road which use to home a pub owned by Charlie Chaplin’s Uncle, The Queen’s Head Pub.  This pub, now café, is well-known and loved for its food and friendly service in a setting from a bygone age.  Just be sure you have cash on you, as it literally lives by its era and does not take anything plastic!

No doubt the Queens Head will ensure you return a couple of times a week, so to avoid piling on those extra pounds then pay a visit to the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens which is located next door to the residence.  In a concrete jungle, it is nice to have such a large space of greenery that use to be part art gallery, part fashion show and part brothel which defined London’s nightlife during the 18th and 19th centuries.  Now you will find many events arranged at the Gardens ranging from Tea Party’s to Light Shows – either way it is always worth checking out what is on!

You will also find the Charlie Chaplin walk, which essentially you could explore yourself by just walking down Kennington Road which is a short walk away.  Whilst Charlie Chaplin was born just off Walworth Road, he spent most of his childhood moving from flat to flat on Kennington Road.  Whilst nowadays you will find an array of grand houses homed by arty and media types, back when Chaplin was a young child it was quite a different setting with squalid flats and rooming houses.

Be sure to stop into the Three Stags opposite the Imperial War Museum.  It was, and still is one of the busiest pubs in Kennington and was a regular joint of Chaplin’s alcoholic father.  Now it is a friendly gastropub with great food, ample seating with an upstairs area that can be used for private functions!  Be sure to try the pizza’s which are made to order on a wood fire – you will not be in the least bit disappointed!
