River View Apartment

From the bed in this Tom Dixon-designed apartment on London’s South Bank, guests can see the dome of St Paul’s Cathedral. It is a good base for exploring Tate Modern, Royal Festival Hall, the National Gallery and Globe Theatre, as well as the London Eye. Or just pop up to the hotel’s glamorous, top floor bar – Rumpus Room – with its outdoor terrace, from which you can take in the London skyline.
