Bankside a beauty

Native Bankside is relatively new so everything was essentially unused and pristine. The bedroom is spacious and the bed likewise, and comfortable. The kitchen area is small but adequate and there is a small dishwasher and clothes washer so we had everything we needed for the week. The bathroom is a good size especially the shower which can be a problem with some London accommodation. The first floor coommon area for basic food items is fantastic. We were able to have a decent breakfast to get us going every day. The location is great, just over the Thames near the Shakespeare globe theatre and Tate modern. There are a few different tube stations which are easily walked to. The great borough market is not far and you can walk through it each day on your way to the underground. London is a remarkable city and Native Bankside is a terrific location to base yourself. I would stay again without hesitation.
