Short Term Double, Bermondsey SE1 | Private Garden

Short-Term Let (1–3 Months) | Elegant Victorian Railway Cottage | Bermondsey

Available for 1–3 month stays. Ideal for visiting professionals, creatives, relocations or London projects.

Tucked away on a quiet residential street in Southwark, this beautifully renovated Victorian railway cottage (circa 1856) blends heritage charm with refined modern comfort. Originally built to house railway engineers, the home has been thoughtfully restored with a strong focus on texture, colour and atmosphere — designed to feel restorative, not just functional.

The House
A spacious, fully fitted kitchen with modern appliances and filtered drinking water opens into a light-filled conservatory dining space beneath a decorative glass ceiling. A large vintage table anchors the room — perfect for working, dining or slow morning coffee.
Patio doors lead to a private English cottage garden — an unexpected oasis in central London. Abundant with flowers and wildlife, it’s a peaceful retreat where butterflies, birds and the occasional fox pass through. A rare pocket of calm in the city.
