Something For The Weekend: Win a weekend at the Marlin Apartments (Empire Square)

Esatop
Picture the scene: you want to cook a romantic dinner for someone, someone you really need to impress... but you know that your rickety Ikea futon and a kitchen full of your flatmate's dirty dishes just aren't going to cut it when it comes to playing culinary Casanova. Wouldn't it be great if you didn't live with the real-life equivalent of Spike from Notting Hill? If maybe instead of a semi in Bromley you actually lived in a swanky pad in the heart of the city? Well... we'd never encourage fibbing, but you could always "pretend".

Esakitchen_2 The Empire Square Apartments are eight floors of classy living 2 mins from Borough tube station. Rather than staying in a hotel, you can hire out an apartment for anything from one night to a few weeks. As well as flat screen TVs, stylish, muted furnishings, wooden floors, sparkling bathroom and a fully fitted open plan kitchen, you get a welcome basket of necessities (including some quick-fix food in case you've arrive in the middle of the night) and Molton Brown toiletries. Of course, if you're really trying to pass off the luxury life as your own, you'll want to stock up the fridge a bit and put some clothes in the built-in wardrobes or your date might think you're a bit OCD.

Right in the centre of the city, it's a great place to spend a weekend, with the shared garden area, the local pub The Royal Oak which does a proper Sunday roast and Borough Market just around the corner. Bookings are taken until 7pm on the day you want to stay, so you can make-like-a-millionaire with pretty short notice.

If you think you like the sound of the Empire Square Apartments, just email us with your name, address and daytime phone number to be in with a chance of winning a weekend stay.

Or if you'd rather not leave it to chance, book your stay here.
