You’ll find this elegant, non-fussy apartment in London’s busy Holborn. Complete with everything you need, this home makes for a fantastic base for an urban retreat. Think well-appointed kitchen, dining table with space for you and a couple of friends, superior quality linens on a ridiculously comfortable bed and a squashy couch for you to relax on after a non-stop day in the city. After a hearty breakfast and a strong cup of tea, step out and explore. You’re less than a five-minute walk from two traditional pubs, a leisurely twenty-minutes from the bustling Covent Garden and just over fifteen from the British Museum. Jump on the Central line at nearby Holborn tube station towards edgy Bethnal Green in the east and well-to-do Mayfair to the west.

Sleek, modern, and practical, this home is an excellent base to explore London from. The immediate area is filled with things to do – we recommend going for a walk in Inner and Middle Temple Gardens or seeing an exhibition at Somerset House. If you don’t feel like cooking at home, Covent Garden’s lively restaurant scene is only about fifteen minutes away on foot, and you’ll also find lots of places to eat along the Strand. Though the kitchen hides myriad appliances and crockery behind slick, white cupboards if you want to dine in. Settle in from the smart TV on the stylish mid-century velvet sofa for a quiet night in after a long day exploring everything central London has to offer.

You’ll find this streamlined apartment in the heart of Clerkenwell, just over a fifteen-minute walk from the British Museum and five minutes from the bustling Leather Lane Market. Whether you’re staying for a while or just a weekend, the place has everything you need to feel right at home, from a well-appointed kitchen to a handy welcome pack with essentials to get you started. Just so you know, there’s not enough seating for a group of six at the dining table, but with endless restaurants on the doorstep, we think you’ll be eating out most of the time anyway.

When it comes to London neighbourhoods, some visitors are guilty of overlooking Farringdon, which is a pretty big sin in our books — not only is it excellently located between the bright lights of the city centre and the trendier East, but it's full of exciting restaurants, interesting museums and industrial architecture. It's also home to effortlessly cool apartments, such as this one.

In the open-concept living-kitchen area, light flows through the space thanks to windows on either end. The design is definitely Scandi in influence — clock the clean lines and preference for wood surfaces — but the abstract artwork stops it from feeling too identikit. Rather pleasingly for a home for two, the cobalt kitchen has a wealth of sleek surface space for whipping up romantic dinners, while the pristinely tiled bathroom has a tub that will surely sing to you after a long day on your feet.

Although the surrounding neighbourhood has a welcomingly quiet residential feel, some of the UK capital's most famous sights are only a short walk away — both The British Museum and St Paul's Cathedral will take you all of twenty minutes to reach.

The rooms are simple, fuss-free and ideal for remote workers and families in search of ease and convenience.

You'll find this elegantly-appointed apartment in Holborn – a neighbourhood defined by its proximity to some of London's best-known sights. Whether you're keen to watch street performers in Covent Garden, explore world-class museums, stroll along the River Thames, or catch a show in the West End, it is all within walking distance. And, with London's Underground stations connecting you all around the city, it makes a solid choice for business travellers as well as sightseers while staying in the capital. 

Holborn House

Hot off the press, this apartment is a short stroll from Fleet Street. The Strand, the River Thames, the Royal Courts of Justice and the London School of Economics, along with the Tate Modern and the British Museum, are within walking distance too. Such an excellent location will mean this home will be subject to some city noise, but that's to be expected. Once a place for textile dying in the 15th century, this newly refurbished apartment, with a private lift, sits within an exclusive Victorian development. There's plenty of room for entertaining in the spacious open-plan living space, and if you need to work from home, the large dining table doubles up as a laptop workspace.

Victorian Gem

Parking On Premises

This apartment is all about location. It's within walking distance to lots of top sights, including Brick Lane, Shoreditch, and Spitalfields Market, with easy access to prime attractions such as The Tower of London and London Bridge. Or, if you're planning on venturing further afield, you'll have Liverpool Street Station on hand to get you where you want to go. And, while the apartment itself may be a touch lacklustre, it offers all you could need for a comfortable and convenient stay in a vibrant part of London.


Old City Heights

Balcony

Foodies will love this modern apartment mere moments from Borough Market. Known for its impressive street food vendors and coveted culinary scene, this is the place to be if you’re looking to sample some of London’s best bites. You’re also just a stone’s throw from Tower Bridge, the Thames, and London Bridge Station for quick connections across the city. As for the apartment itself, the contemporary design is comfortable and sleek. One bedroom boasts an en-suite while the other offers river views. Just note that two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the living room, and the area is prone to occasional noise from nearby trains – all part and parcel of central living.

Borough Buzz

This well-connected apartment makes it experience the vibrant heart of central London. You can stroll to local restaurants, cafes and shops, while the close proximity to Farringdon station means quick access to iconic sights across the city. And while the location has a lot to offer, this home has plenty of perks too. From the sociable living area to the snug bedrooms, this is a great option for groups in search of a laidback city stay. There is also a sofa bed for one guest in the living room and your host provides a sweet welcome pack with basic essentials. 

Finding Magic

The bright, open-plan living area is ideal for unwinding or working from home, with two comfortable doubles and a single bedroom that’s perfect for kids or guests. Underfloor heating, room-by-room temperature control and a concierge downstairs combine hotel-style ease with the privacy of home. And when you’re ready to head out, you’re just moments from Chancery Lane station and a short stroll from Covent Garden, the West End and some of London’s best museums.

The Majestic Abode

This Southwark gem is steeped in history. It was built on the site of the Bear Pit, an historic animal sports venue referenced by Samuel Pepys’ diaries. It’s also just a stone’s throw from the Globe Theatre, and is close to the iconic Borough Market. The house is perfect for a group, with a vaulted living and dining area at its heart. There’s also a cinema room and a private patio nook, so you’ll have plenty of space for spending time together. Beautifully designed, this home is a striking base for a London stay.

Dive into East Central London from this stylish penthouse, complete with a spacious wraparound balcony and rooftop views. Underfloor heating keeps you toasty from the moment you wake up, and the kitchen is more than well-equipped for whatever you're craving. That said, the surrounding area is chock-a-block with fantastic spots to grab a bite, from Exmouth Market to the array of Michelin-starred restaurants. Children and toddlers aren't permitted, but we think families with babies or older kids will have a blast. Whether you're visiting as a tourist or travelling for work, the home gym and study provide that added touch of practicality to help you settle right in.

One of Cannon Street’s only residential houses, this is a superlative spot for an elegant London getaway. Just thirteen minutes from St Paul’s Cathedral in one direction and the Tower of London in the other, this home boasts a remarkable location, and that’s just the start. A world-renowned interior designer restored the house, and it shows – exquisite detail has gone into every room. We love the medieval dining room, stone-clad bathrooms, and roof terrace. There’s even a piano, ideal for a cocktail hour. 


The Bells of the City

This modern apartment puts you within touching distance of the City of London's skyscrapers, buzzing restaurants, and cultural sights. If you're travelling for work, the proximity to Bank and Liverpool Street is handy, but it's also an ideal location for immersing yourself in London's cultural life – whether at Spitalfields Market, St. Paul's Cathedral, or rooftop restaurants like the Sky Garden. The interiors are functional yet comfortable, with plenty of space for groups to unwind and a fully-equipped kitchen that makes meals at home stress-free. And those high-rise views? They'll have you itching to get out and explore.

You can stroll to Boxpark and it’s just moments to the nearest train station – offering quick connections with the rest of the city.  


The Creative Jewel

Umbrellas

Once the haunt of barristers and the occasional post-pub scuffle, Chancery Lane has traded wigs and quarrels for a more polished kind of London living. From the outside, this building nods to the area’s historic charm – but inside, it’s all clean lines and contemporary comfort. Think underfloor heating, climate control and plush velvet furnishings. The open-plan living space is bright and breezy – not quite fit for banquet feasts, but perfect for everyday meals and unwinding after a day in the city. And with a concierge downstairs, you get the ease of a hotel stay with the privacy of your own home.

Courtside Comfort

Bathrobes

This unique home in Clerkenwell caught our eye for its striking, lofty living area reminiscent of a barn conversion. There’s plenty of room for the group to spread out between the plush lounge and mezzanine seating area, and the full kitchen is sleek and modern. There’s a vintage writer’s desk in the main bedroom for those working remotely and a bar trolley to unwind after – the welcome bottle of wine is a nice touch. This place faces an internal courtyard, so despite the ultra-central location, it’s relatively quiet. St Paul’s Cathedral and the Thames are a short stroll away and Farringdon Station is just four minutes on foot – you'll be well-placed to explore London.

The Clerkenwell Designer

An excellent base, this apartment sits in the heart of Clerkenwell. It’s a well-connected area, with Farringdon tube station less than ten minutes away on foot, with access to the Circle, Hammersmith & City, and Metropolitan lines. The apartment is contemporary with minimalist decor. Two guests will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living room, which boasts large windows and is filled with light – if you’re hoping for a lie-in, you might want to pack an eye mask. For such a great location and an apartment with everything you might need for a city break, we think that’s a worthwhile sacrifice. 

Gentleman's Comfort

Tucked away in a beautifully restored historic building on iconic Chancery Lane, this sleek and modern flat is your perfect London base. It’s compact but cleverly designed, with everything you need – from a fully fitted kitchen to stylish spaces to dine, work or unwind. While it’s not about the views, the location is unbeatable. Step outside and you’re moments from Holborn’s vibrant mix of restaurants, theatres, shops and transport links. Whether you’re here for business or a city escape, this elegant hideaway puts the very best of central London right on your doorstep.

Stylish Abode

Whether you’re on a sightseeing adventure or a productive work trip, this apartment welcomes you to enjoy it all in comfort and style. There’s a private rooftop terrace with impressive views and outdoor seating for warm weather drinks. Inside, the open-plan layout makes it easy to relax, cook, disconnect or catch up on work. You’ll find it’s well-equipped and your host can help organise extras like housekeeping and private transfers. And when it comes to adventures, it’s just a short walk to Borough Market and London Bridge, while the close proximity to public transport ensures quick links with the rest of the city.

River Light

This stylish apartment is perfectly positioned to explore London. It's right in the city, an easy walk from well-connected transport links, the Tower of London, and Tower Bridge. The design is modern but comfortable. You'll find a desk in the living area if remote working is on the agenda, as well as a slightly compact kitchen – though there are plenty of eateries nearby. A sofa bed can accommodate a third guest if needed, while the bedroom is tucked away behind a room divider. Whether you're visiting for business or pleasure, we think this is a convenient base to call home. 

City Contemporary

Whether you're travelling on business or in town for sightseeing, this Farringdon apartment has everything you need for a carefree stay. There's a desk for remote working, a stylish living area ideal for unwinding, and a well-appointed kitchen if you want to whip up a meal at home. But it's the central location that makes this pad really stand out. Landmarks like the British Museum and St Paul's Cathedral are reachable on foot, while various restaurants and pubs are nearby. You'll also have easy access to the City and West End by bus, with the nearest Tube station less than a ten-minute stroll away.

Chancery Chambers

This apartment sits more or less on the dividing line where central London ends and the east side of the city begins. You'll see that it's a clash of two cultures — in one direction, you have glass skyscrapers housing financial institutions close to Liverpool Street and on the other, it's reclaimed industrial space, street art on nearly every surface and the buzzy bars and clubs of Shoreditch. There's no doubting it's an interesting location, but this penthouse home is equally noteworthy. The standout feature here is the private wraparound balcony — south and west-facing, as well — which offers a wonderful setting for pre-dinner cocktails and even a glimpse of the Shard. Back inside, we're also big fans of the large open living area, decked out with bare wood flooring and fashionable grey furnishings. Prepare for negotiations over the bedrooms — one has direct access to the outdoor terrace, but the other has an inviting-looking bathtub in the ensuite. However, squabbles can wait until you've seen a bit of the city first. If you’re heading out for an evening meal, the famous Brick Lane is just four minutes' walk from your front door and boasts an impressive number of Bengali restaurants, as well as vintage stores and all-night bagel joints.

East is East

If you’re in search of a refreshing base in a well-connected spot, this home delivers a fantastic solution. Just a short walk from Farringdon train station, you’ll find it’s easy to explore central London. There are cafes, restaurants and shops within easy walking distance. Plus, your host provides a welcome pack with basic essentials to get you started. At full occupancy two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area, but this is a handy option for couples or families travelling with kids. 



Calling You Home

Swimming Pool

This stylish apartment has a prestigious location in Shoreditch, in a landmark building designed by the renowned architects Foster + Partners. We love the ensuite bathroom, beautifully finished with marble. The open-plan living space is flooded with lots of natural light with large windows overlooking London. However, the absolute highlights here for us are the indoor lap pool and spa – perfect for relaxing after a busy day. There's also a residents' lounge, a state-of-the-art gym, and a cinema, so there's plenty to keep you occupied.

If all this wasn't enough, this home has a fabulous address. It's a twelve-minute walk to East London Tech City, otherwise known as Silicon Roundabout, while Spitalfields Market is a four-minute saunter. With its public gardens, bars, and restaurants, Hoxton Square is a seven-minute wander, or art lovers can head to the Barbican Arts Centre, seventeen minutes away on foot. 




City Vistas

You'll be surprised by how roomy this apartment is, especially considering the central London location. The open-plan living area is the stylish centrepiece of the home, and we especially love the private dining area with its industrial-style windows and large skylight. Making meals is a breeze in the large kitchen, and there's a dedicated desk – handy if you're using this pad for remote working. Step out of your door and you're in the heart of London Bridge, just a short walk from the Globe, Borough Market, and Tate Modern, so you're certainly not short of entertainment during your stay.

The Golden Dwelling

With Tower Bridge just a short stroll away and the historic streets of the City of London on your doorstep, this apartment places you right where centuries of history meet modern city living. The space is calm and contemporary with clean lines, warm colour palettes, and a super-comfy bed for unwinding after a day in the capital. There’s also a fully equipped kitchen and a sofa bed for an extra guest. Whether you're here for work or sightseeing, it’s a well-connected base with all the essentials (and more) for a smart stay in the city.

The Thames House

Bike Shed

You'll find this apartment tucked down Chancery Lane. As far as locations go, it's hard to beat. The City is within easy reach for business travellers, while the nearby St Paul's Cathedral, Covent Garden, and British Museum have sightseeing covered. With three bedrooms, it's ideal for groups and families. The stylish living area has space for everyone, and the fully-appointed kitchen is well-stocked for home cooking. Factor in the on-site bike storage and the option to organise remote working facilities, fridge fills, and more with your host, and it's no wonder it caught our eye.

Contemporary Zen

Mere minutes from Spitalfields Market and the bustle of the City of London, this home is a charming hideaway right in the middle of the city. Inside, home comforts and character abound – think big sash windows, a spacious kitchen and two comfortable sofas that double as single beds. But the real winner here is the location – it’s a quick walk to the cafes and restaurants of Shoreditch and Brick Lane, and easy access to the rest of London via the well-connected Liverpool Street Station, just two minutes away.

Sojourn in the City

Located on Chancery Lane, this stylish apartment will have you right in the thick of things and yet feel like your new home-from-home all at the same time. Inside, modern comfort is at the forefront of the design, with cosy furnishings, neutral tones, curated houseplants and appealing prints of art adorning the walls, creating a warm and welcoming feel from the get-go. 

Take it easy in the living space – perhaps you’ll start your mornings with a cup of coffee on the sofa, or maybe you’ll each pull up a chair at the window-side dining table, mapping out the day's agenda as breakfast cooks away in the contemporary kitchen. 

Through to the double bedroom, where you'll encounter chic decor, artwork and a sumptuous bed that invites you to bank your beauty sleep. After a quick snooze, head out to explore many of the top attractions right on your doorstep. Spend time at St. Paul's Cathedral and The British Museum, before ending your day with a celebratory dinner at one of Covent Garden's delectable restaurants – all easily accessible within twenty minutes on foot. 

Take A Chance

This stylish apartment is in the heart of London's tourist centre – St Paul's Cathedral, Covent Garden Market, and Somerset House are all practically on your doorstep. A renowned interior design firm was responsible for the furnishings, resulting in a blend of comfort and high-society elegance. While the open-plan living and dining area isn't massive, it's big enough for intimate dinners with friends or family. Given the many museums, restaurants, and historic sights within walking distance, you may not spend much time at home, but services like a concierge and security will help you feel at ease after a day of exploring.

Banker's Residence

Record Player

Housed in a historic building on Chancery Lane, this apartment delivers both style and substance. Expect king-sized beds, underfloor heating, velvet furnishings and a concierge downstairs for good measure. There’s no sprawling lounge or banqueting table here, but everything’s cleverly laid out to make the most of the space. With Covent Garden, the West End and the South Bank all within strolling distance, it's a perfect bolthole for business travellers or city explorers.


My Fair Dwelling

With impressively high ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and crisp white walls, this home in Clerkenwell has all the makings of a contemporary art gallery. Add in design-led furniture, statement lighting fixtures and modern art adorned on the walls and it becomes a personal showroom for ultramodern, minimalist style. As much as we adore the sleek living area and glossy kitchen, the mod-cons are what really make us swoon. Pop a bottle of bubbly in the wine fridge, relax after a busy day under the rainfall showers and warm chilly toes on the underfloor heating in the bathrooms. There's even a balcony off the master – the perfect spot to enjoy a cup of tea in the morning sun. While there isn't a television here, there's so much to get up to in this lively neighbourhood we doubt you'll mind. Museums, galleries (including The Barbican Centre) and must-see landmarks like St Paul's are all within walking distance, not to mention the plethora of restaurants, pubs and bars on your doorstep. And with Farringdon station right around the corner, getting around the rest of London is a breeze.

Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.
