First Impressions
When I first approached BnBNova – 3BR – Westminster Abbey on Regency Street, I’ll admit I was a bit skeptical — the building looks fairly ordinary from the outside. But stepping into this apartment completely changed my perspective. The space feels more like a friend’s stylish flat than typical tourist accommodation, which honestly makes all the difference when you’re staying in London for more than a night or two.
The Space and Layout
This four-star property really delivers on the three-bedroom promise. Each room has proper storage (thank goodness), and the main living area actually feels lived-in rather than sterile. The kitchen surprised me most — it’s properly equipped with everything you’d need, not just a kettle and mini-fridge situation. I mean, you can actually cook here if you want to save money or just fancy a quiet evening in.
Location Magic
Here’s what the listing doesn’t quite capture — you’re literally a three-minute walk from Westminster Abbey. I’m talking about stepping out the door and boom, you’re practically on the doorstep of one of London’s most iconic landmarks. But it’s not touristy-chaos busy on this particular street, which is sort of the perfect sweet spot. The Pimlico tube station is close enough that getting anywhere else in the city is straightforward.
Why It Actually Works
What struck me most was how quiet it gets at night, despite being so central. The windows do a proper job of blocking street noise, and the neighborhood settles down after the day-trippers head back to their hotels. You get that genuine London residential feel — neighbors walking their dogs, corner shops that locals actually use, that sort of thing.
Why Guests Love It
The combination of space and location is honestly hard to beat at this price point. You’re not cramped into a tiny hotel room, but you’re also not stuck way out in Zone 3 somewhere. Plus, having three separate bedrooms means families or groups of friends aren’t stepping over each other constantly. The perfect 10 rating makes sense when you consider you’re getting the independence of your own place with the convenience of being walking distance from Westminster, St. James’s Park, and the Thames.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
