In a place as busy as London, it’s important to have a quiet getaway.
So why not relax in your very own treehouse?
In a move sure to excite the inner child in all of us, Virgin Holidays has constructed a 35-foot treehouse on London’s Southbank.

And if sleeping in an urban treehouse is on your bucket list, the company has set up a raffle to give one lucky person to spend the night.
The structure was built to promote Virgin Holidays “Wonderlist” experience, and replicates a South African treehouse that can be found at the Lion Sands Game Reserve.

But these accommodations aren’t for kids. This luxury treehouse comes with its own private balcony, two bedrooms, a view of the River Thames, and a personal chef.

The inside of the treehouse is nothing less than spectacular. Designed by Hubert Zandberg, the interiors are decorated with tribal prints and African sculptures.
Visitors can take a tour of the tree house every day between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m.
The last day to see the installation is Jan. 29.
