Ditch the Hotel and Swing from the Trees: Luxury Treehouse Opens on London’s Southbank

THIS incredible treehouse will make you feel like you’re in the South Africa jungle.

The stunning treehouse in London

You may think treehouses are just for kids.

But think again as Virgin Holidays have unveiled a luxury, 35-foot high South African treehouse, overlooking London’s stunning Southbank. 

The unusual accommodation comes with a private balcony, breath-taking views of the Thames and St Paul’s and even a personal chef on hand.

The treehouse is part of a week long installation inspired by the Lion Sands Game Reserve treehouse in South Africa.

The treehouse interior has been designed by Hubert Zandberg and features a range of tribal prints, a four-post bed and several one-off pieces of African sculpture.

The treehouse also comes with a six-course private menu from Masterchef contestant Petrus Madutlela.

But it’s not for a weak stomach, as the bizarre menu includes tempura meal worms with induja mayo, shaved ostrich biltong, braised terrine of crocodile and smoked goat fillet with chakalaka sauce.

Petrus explained: “This is an incredible experience, and I wanted to offer a menu that matches.”

The treehouse is now open for anyone to visit between 11am and 6pm until January 29th.

However a lucky few are in with a chance of winning an overnight stay.
