Griffin House is another of the growing number of holiday apartments lovingly maintained by gay couples to welcome gay travellers to the capital city. In this case, the charming Ben and Nic (and their labradoodle) offer a gay-friendly pair of holiday apartments where it is clear that the pair have put effort into the detail. Both of the apartments in their Georgian townhouse in Stockwell have two bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen and living space, and all are decorated with impeccable taste. The lower apartment also has access to a neat 2200 square foot garden, and both apartments have wireless broadband, stereo systems, multi-channel TVs, DVD players and safes. The hosts live in the building too, so you know they will be on hand should you need anything. Griffin House isn’t in the centre of London, but is convenient if you’re looking to visit the new gay village of Vauxhall, where the gay bars cater to bears, leathermen and all sorts. Besides that, it’s three stops on the tube to central London, so if you start to pine for tourist attractions, you don’t need to go far. Apartments are £90-110 per night for two guests, and £20 more for each additional guest, and the minimum stay is 3 nights.
