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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Air Conditioning

Doorman

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

This Chancery Lane apartment is close to Covent Garden, Leicester Square, and the theatres of the West End. Easy public transport adds to the convenience of this home, making it a splendid base for families and couples looking for a stress-free base in London. The apartment is in a Grade II listed building so boasts historic features including high ceilings, and also has all the modern amenities you might need for a comfortable stay. 

Chancery Charm

Seeing the best bits of London is a breeze from this two-bedroom apartment. Located in Holborn, it’s close to Covent Garden and St Paul’s Cathedral, with an Underground station nearby too. Other walkable landmarks include the British Museum and Tate Modern. So, there’s plenty to see and do – but what about when you come home? The apartment is stylish and comfortable, with space to cook and eat, two cosy bedrooms, and two bathrooms so you won't have to share. Everything you need to recharge your batteries ready for another day of exploring.

Underfloor Heating

Balcony

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.

Where the Good Times Start

Buzzer / Wireless Intercom

Security Cameras

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

Wheelchair Access

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

Set in an exclusive complex in the heart of Holborn, you’ll be a stroll from Fleet Street and the Strand. You’ll also find the Royal Courts of Justice, as well as King’s College and the Courtaulds Institute in the area. The latter is quite fitting as this building was used for textile dyeing back in the day. The apartment is on the ground and lower ground floor – we have to say we love the bright living space with its double-height ceiling. If you’re here for work, wi-fi is available, but the speed is restricted. Otherwise, this luxurious home should have everything else you need.

Cerise Mews

This three-bedroom flat is perfect for a family or group of friends. The spacious living room has a large sofa and a flat-screen TV, while the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to cook a home-cooked meal. The bedrooms are all well-appointed and have plenty of storage space. The flat is located in the heart of Farringdon, just a short walk from the tube station and all the shops and restaurants you could need.

All Things Bright & Beautiful

Balcony / Patio

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. 

Bankside Paradise

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

Set within a grand historic building, this sleek apartment delivers modern comfort in the heart of Holborn. 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

Multiple Sets of Keys

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.  

Verdant Chance

Our 1-bedroom apartment is the perfect place to stay for your next trip to London. This sleek and modern apartment is located in the heart of Central London, just steps from Farringdon Station. The apartment features a fully equipped kitchen, a spacious living room, and a comfortable bedroom. The apartment also has a private balcony with stunning views of the city.

Urban Rhythm

Paid Parking

Moments from the Barbican, this apartment makes a great base for an exciting stay. You can stroll into Shoreditch where you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to restaurants, bars and shops. There’s no free parking, but there are great public transport links making it easy to get across the city. Back at home, you’ll find all the essentials you could need to settle in and unwind. The rooms are simple, fuss-free and ideal for remote workers and families in search of ease and convenience. 

The Good Side

Set on storied Chancery Lane – once the stomping ground of barristers and bookbinders – this apartment gives you a front-row seat to old-world London. You’re just a short stroll from Covent Garden, the West End and some of the city’s best museums. Inside, it’s all modern comfort, with clean lines, underfloor heating and a slick kitchen for home-cooked dinners. It’s got the ease of a hotel stay, but with the warmth of a home. And with three generous bedrooms and three bathrooms, there’s plenty of space whether you’re in town for a flying visit or settling in for a while.

The Grand Residence

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

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

Stay in the heart of historic Holborn when you book this three-bedroom apartment. Close to Covent Garden and Soho and walking distance from landmarks like the British Museum and St Paul’s Cathedral, the location is hard to beat for exploring London. After a long day seeing the sights, this well-appointed home ticks all the right boxes, with a modern kitchen, bright and inviting living space, and three comfy bedrooms. There are also three bathrooms, minimising morning queues. Holborn Station is nearby too, so you can jump on the London Underground for your next adventure.

Holborn Heights

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

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

City lovers will rejoice in this home. Offering incredible views from the private terrace, this is the perfect base to slow down and savour the magic of London living. Inside, the rooms are just as welcoming with two floors and plenty of space to relax, socialise or catch up on work. There’s also a sound system and air conditioning – ideal for summer months. Outside, it’s just a short walk to restaurants, cafes and shops, while Holborn station is just around the corner – ensuring quick connections with the rest of London. 

Beauty of the Now 

Located in the heart of buzzing east London, this city pad is just a short stroll from the capital’s famous Spitalfields Market. Foodies will love the curry houses on nearby Brick Lane, and for keen historians, the Tower of London and St Paul’s Cathedral are within a thirty-minute walk. The home itself may be compact, but it has everything you’ll need for a fuss-free stay. We think it’s a great choice for a couple wanting a comfortable base in a vibrant location.

London City Vibes

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

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

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

Alarm System

Located in central London, this apartment is a comfortable base for a break in the city. The kitchen decor is a little outdated and children aren't permitted here, but for couples, friends, or even a work trip, we think it's ideal. The sofa bed can sleep a fifth guest for some extra flexibility, and the main bedroom has its own en-suite for privacy and convenience. To make your stay run smoothly, your host can arrange additional services like housekeeping, car rentals and airport transfers for a fee.

Gold Original

In the heart of bustling Holborn, right on the famous Chancery Lane, this apartment beckons you in as an ideal base for your London sightseeing. Whether it’s a romantic trip for two or a solo city getaway, this home has everything you need for a comfortable stay in one of the city’s most sought-after locations. When you’re ready to take in London, there are things to see in every direction – the Thames just to the south, the West End and Covent Garden to the west, and the thriving City of London to the east, with its ancient buildings and institutions.

Holborn Haven

If you've been searching for a London city stay, this two-bedroom in Holborn might just do the trick. Well-located, with the best of London right on your doorstep, it’s ideal for those visiting for business or pleasure. 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's all within walking distance. Well-maintained and featuring bright, modern interiors, this apartment ticks all the right boxes in a city that seldom sleeps.

Holborn House

This Shoreditch apartment is a cool, convenient base for spending time in London, whether for business or leisure. You’ll be close to the bars, restaurants, and hip vibes of Shoreditch, with excellent transport links to the rest of London. Escape the hustle and bustle here, where you can unwind on the balcony and admire city views over sundowners, or curl up on the oh-so-comfortable sofa for a movie night. The bright decor and eclectic art add character that you just don’t find in most London hotels. 

Shoreditch Heights

Electricity Adaptors

We really love this home's location in the heart of London's financial centre and just under a hundred yards from one of the capital's most iconic buildings, the Gherkin. It's very convenient for people travelling for business due to its proximity to Bank, (an eight-minute walk away) or equally tourists wanting to be close to the Tower of London, which is just over a ten-minute stroll. Or, head to Leadenhall Market, a five-minute saunter, for an array of shops, bars and restaurants. Inside this modern apartment, white and grey hues are enlivened by pops of bright colour, courtesy of the contemporary prints. Relax on the sofa while you plan your day, or enjoy a hearty breakfast at the glass dining table. If you pop your head out of the window, you can even see the Gherkin down the street. If you need to work while staying here, there's a home office to boot.

Venus & Mars

Set in the heart of London, this modern apartment puts the best of the city within easy reach. From here, you can walk to the British Museum, St Paul’s Cathedral and Covent Garden in just minutes. The location is ideal for exploring (and commuting too), while inside, the apartment offers a calm, comfortable base. There’s a fully equipped kitchenette for preparing breakfasts on the go and easy evening meals as well as air-conditioning to keep things cool. We think it has everything you need to relax after a busy day in the capital.

The Banker's Abode

Amazon Prime

Blender

With an enviably central location just a short walk from Covent Garden, Holborn and St Paul’s, this sparkling apartment is just the ticket for those looking to make the most of London’s cultural and historic heart. 
 
Bathed in light from all sides, this home offers a stylish and comfortable stay that will give you a taste of luxe city living. We love the vibrant jewel tones in the decor, as well as the sociable open-plan layout of the bright main room. Kick back on the sofa with a glass of wine or gather around the chic dining table for a soirée at home when you’re not out sampling the local food scene. 
 
The three boutique bedrooms each boast large sash windows giving way to views of your Temple neighbourhood and vanity desks should you need to catch up on work – not to mention the beautifully dressed beds you’ll relish curling up in at the end of the night. Factor in the modern bathrooms with their rainfall showers and enticing tub, and you’ve got everything you need for a blissful break. 
 
When it comes to sightseeing nearby, you’re spoilt for choice. Explore the shops and restaurants in scenic Covent Garden (a thirteen-minute walk) or visit historic St Paul’s Cathedral, also a thirteen-minute stroll away. You’re also an eighteen-minute walk from both the British Museum and the bright lights of Leicester Square, while lively South Bank is a twenty-minute stroll away across iconic Waterloo Bridge. 


Glitter of Light

While we wouldn't recommend this home if you dislike the colour orange, the clementine walls are a cheerful feature that reflect how much fun you could have here. The host provides spices, condiments and coffee, making it easy to just show up and start enjoying yourself – we are confident you will feel well cared for in this home. There's plenty of space to flop on the squashy grey sofas and a slick kitchen if you're planning to do some cooking for your guests. The true standout feature here, however, is the location. It’s an ideal spot for people travelling for business and working nearby (due to its proximity to The City) – there's even a desk if you need to catch up on some emails out of hours. Tourists will be equally happy with the Tower of London just a twelve-minute walk away in one direction, and the vintage markets of Brick Lane a ten-minute walk away in the other direction. And, if you stick your head out the window, you can see one of London's most iconic buildings, The Gherkin. 

Venus & Saturn

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.
