Leave behind the hustle and bustle of Covent Garden and enter an alternate reality. Bull Inn Court still bears the name of the pub that stood on this site until 1680, and while the inn might be long gone, its spirit lives on in the drinking, dining and entertainment on offer throughout the area. This luxurious and spacious apartment offers the ultimate in comfort and convenience close to London's glistening West End. Its open living space features a seating area, dining table and sleek kitchen that's perfect if you fancy a casual night kicking back in front of the TV. Both bathrooms are finished to a luxurious standard and have walk-in showers, while the en-suite benefits from the addition of a bathtub. A short stroll away is the Thames, where you can enjoy romantic riverside walks and take in the scenic views. There are a number of popular attractions within a five-minute walk including Somerset House, London Transport Museum, Covent Garden and several brilliant theatres. Covent Garden and the surrounding area also boasts an enviable selection of amazing bars and restaurants so you'll never be short of options if heading out for a drink or bite to eat. Finally, train and tube stations are also within a stone's throw so you can explore all the sights at the drop of a hat.

Oxford Street may be one of the busiest places in London, but this apartment just a five-minute walk from the heart of the action is as tranquil as it gets. The Alvar Aalto designed living space is minimalist and sophisticated with floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the room with light and provide views of your bustling locale – you’ll notice a pub on the corner of Foley Street, convenient for a quick pint on your way back from the area’s designer shops or an afternoon spent poring over the artwork in the Wallace Collection, a fifteen-minute stroll away. If you’re a fan of cooking, you’ll be pleased to find high-end appliances in the kitchenette and a stylish dining table where the four of you can gather for an evening meal. And when it’s time to rest your head the top-quality mattresses will ensure you’ll be out like a light.

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.

This home stands proudly above adjacent buildings and casts an imposing shadow on the street below, famous for its upmarket gentlemen's outfitters – with your downstairs neighbour being a traditional shoe shop. The whole area has a classy and traditional London vibe, so upon entering this grand building, you might be surprised by the interiors of the flat. Sleek white fixtures and fittings, monochrome photography prints, honey-coloured flooring, and a neutral colour palette are a welcome contrast to the buzz of nearby Piccadilly. Sip an Earl Grey on the balcony as you look out over the city centre from your vantage point. The plush bedrooms also feature French doors or large windows with views – it’s a city that deserves to be seen. You should be able to spot St James's Church at Piccadilly, right across the street. As it’s well known for its classical music programme, why not stop in for a lunchtime concert? Then on to St James’s Square, where you can unwind in elegant and peaceful formal gardens. For the evening, the glitzy restaurants of Mayfair are calling. You won’t even need to hail a black cab, as it’s only a ten-minute walk away.

Impeccably curated with bright interiors and situated in unbeatably upmarket Mayfair, staying in this luxe apartment truly feels like a five-star experience. Everything here is sleek and shiny, with high-end touches like parquet flooring and gold finishes that play off the prestigious postcode. The feel here is more contemporary than homely, but if you prefer the finer things in life, this will be a top choice to add a touch of opulence to your stay. Settle onto the plush velvet sofa with a glass of wine and relax in the light-filled living space before preparing a delicious dinner in the glossy, modern kitchen. When it's time for sleep, the sumptuous bedroom will have you nodding off in no time, and we bet you'll wake up the next day feeling refreshed and ready for a busy day. Speaking of exploring, there's so much to get up to here, you'll never get bored – enjoy boutique shopping on Regent Street, stroll through Green Park (a six-minute walk away), sip afternoon tea at the Ritz, grab a drink at a swanky cocktail bar or dine at one of the gourmet restaurants on your doorstep. 

The Regal Albemarle

Located in the heart of London, this fuss-free apartment is perfect for exploring the city. You'll find it in Fitzrovia, a stone's throw from Oxford Circus, Soho, and Covent Garden. Restaurants and pubs abound in the area, and there's a Tube station a short walk away for travelling across town. Back home, the design is somewhat simplistic but has everything you need. You can whip up a meal in the sleek kitchen, watch a Netflix movie in the living area, or retreat to the bedrooms for a good night's sleep. A sofa bed will accommodate two guests, too.

It's All Goodge

Desk

Ideal for couples or solo travellers visiting for business or pleasure, this third floor duplex apartment is situated in the very heart of London. With Leicester Square, Piccadilly Circus and Soho's assorted delights just minutes away, you'll be able to explore some of the most vibrant and historic parts of the capital without even needing public transport. The apartment itself is an excellent find, too – there's a large and bright double bedroom, a kitchen equipped with good quality appliances, and a comfortable living area boasting designer furniture. With some of London's very best restaurants, museums and theatres on your doorstep, there are few better places to set down for your stay.

Piccadilly Place

Desk / Workplace

We'd be won over by this well-proportioned luxury flat regardless of the location, but the fact that it's in a converted period building in central London is mighty impressive. Upon entrance, guests will be greeted by an open space illuminated by tall windows on the far wall and pretty chandeliers. At the far end lies a gorgeous kitchen complete with quartz surface tops and Miele appliances. The large bedrooms both have plenty of storage space and a workspace, but it's the bathrooms that take your breath away with their frameless glass and suave grey tiling. Step out the front door and Lincoln's Inn Fields stands before you — here, there's a small square to wander about, tennis courts to book out and the inimitable Sir John Soane's Museum to look around. If a visit there gets you in the mood for more ancient artefacts, The British Museum is only ten minutes' walk up the road.

Live out your literary dreams in this bright and airy apartment, twice lived in by famed novelist, Charles Dickens. Centrally located in the vibrant Fitzrovia, this apartment is a sleek city base with a storied history. 

This modern apartment feels both contemporary and comfortable. The pared-back and minimal design is contrasted with elements of character, like the exposed brick walls, an array of plants and a library of books that are a joy to indulge in after a day of exploring the streets of Soho, just a ten-minute walk away. Slide open the sash windows and enjoy your morning coffee at the large wooden table, or if you’re in need of a quick fix before heading out, the sleek stone-surfaced kitchen is perfect for whipping up a quick bite. It must be said, however, with London’s roster of restaurants you’ll have to fight yourself to stay in, even for breakfast.

Amble your way around Soho, popping into The Photographer’s Gallery and Sadie Coles before grabbing lunch at Koya for chewy udon noodles and beer-braised pork belly. Spend the rest of the afternoon in and out of shops in Covent Garden, we like Tenderbooks for their archive collections and Dover Street Market for sartorial browsing. Wind down in the evening at Duck Soup for a glass of natural wine and your pick of the seasonal menu. As night falls, wander through the buzzy streets back to your novelist’s hideout.

As anybody who has ever played Monopoly before will know, Mayfair is one of the most coveted neighbourhoods in London and this apartment puts you right in the heart of it. Wander about the adjoining streets and you'll come across Michelin-starred restaurants, designer clothing stores, fine art dealers and the world-renowned Ritz hotel. For those keen on the fancier things in life, you couldn't wish for a better location. The apartment itself is also pleasing. The expansive, open-plan living area is beautifully finished with parquet flooring and tasteful furnishings, while the large dining table is perfect for evening soirées. There's even an outdoor terrace, which is rare for somewhere so close to the epicentre of the UK's capital. If you want somewhere to really stretch your legs, you're close to a triumvirate of parks — Green, St James's and Hyde.

You'll love the look of this elegant, contemporary apartment, but you'll adore the location even more. Placed just a hop, skip, and a jump from the bustling cobbled streets of Covent Garden Piazza – it's hard to imagine a more central setting. Not that you could tell once inside this sanctuary for seamless, modern living. The period building has been reimagined into an exclusive, serviced apartment with a dash of luxury. Inside, sash windows, polished hardwood flooring, and ornate cast iron radiators nod to the heritage of the building, while the sparkling-white bathroom and high-spec kitchen keep things firmly into the 21st century. When the bustle of Covent Garden below finally draws you in, in just three minutes flat, you can be at the fashionable boutiques of the square or the Royal Opera House. And with a beguiling mix of theatres and museums within walking distance, you won't be short of cultural hotspots. When thoughts turn to food, book a table at Gordon Ramsay's classic British and French restaurant, Savoy Grill, or a sunny spot on the terrace of The Ivy for lunch will serve you rather nicely.

You would be hard-pressed to find a better location for exploring London than from this unique home. Echoing the bright colours of vibrant Neal’s Yard – less than a one-minute walk away – this apartment in the heart of Covent Garden is a rainbow of characterful design elements and carefully curated art. You’ll instantly be struck by the beautiful glass-enclosed staircase that leads up to a skylight. Open up the hatch and step out onto your own private roof terrace overlooking Central London. Whether you’re starting mornings off here over coffee and locally bought pastries, or ending the night with a glass of wine and some artisan cheese from Neal’s Yard Dairy, you’ll love whiling away the hours in this serene outdoor haven. Elsewhere in the home, your host has ensured every detail maximises your relaxation and comfort, providing Neal’s Yard toiletries, luxurious bedding and bespoke decor (we love the custom tiling in the bathroom). When you’re not chilling out in your rooftop pad, go out and explore your surroundings. The boutique and theatre-lined Seven Dials is just outside your doorstep, while cobbled Covent Garden is a five-minute walk away. Leicester Square, Chinatown and Soho are all within a ten-minute walk away too, offering some of the city’s most celebrated restaurants, shops and bars. 


Neal's Rooftop Retreat

Wheelchair Access

Located on a peaceful, traditional mews, you could be forgiven for not realising that this home is right in the middle of London. Its location in Bloomsbury, known for its literary connections and charming English heritage, makes this the perfect place for a small group who want to stay in the heart of the city. The home has been recently renovated, and the interior has a thoroughly modern vibe with a slight industrial feel, thanks to the exposed brick and large, black-trimmed windows. You'll love coming home to put your feet up on the huge blue velvet sofa, or cooking in the state-of-the-art kitchen, complete with two ovens and Schulte-Ufer cookware. There's even a little balcony, where you can sip your morning coffee in the fresh air – a true luxury in the centre of the city. Getting around is easy from here, with the British Museum just a fifteen-minute walk away and several independent coffee shops and boutiques to stop off at on the way. A little further along you'll find Oxford Street and, if you want to visit a different part of the city, simply hop on the Tube – Chancery Station is just over five minutes away. Plus, with blackout blinds, sound insulation and underfloor heating, you're virtually guaranteed a great night's sleep. 

Geometry Class

Designed with space and comfort at the forefront, but without compromising a smidgen of style, this modern apartment really caught our discerning eye. It's a cosy home packed with chic decor, period features and even an on-trend living wall. There's a warmth here too, with soft furnishings, calm cream tones, low ceilings and a fireplace feature, so you can cuddle up with a good book for a quiet evening in. We also love how open and sociable the living space, dining area and kitchen are, creating a lovely spot to hang out, show off new purchases or host your very own dinner party. Last, but certainly not least, the real highlight of this home is access to your private rooftop patio – we can think of nothing better than a balmy evening spent out here wining and dining to your heart's content. Although, with Soho's finest restaurants, hip bars and lively clubs right on your doorstep, you may end up eating out most nights. Walk to illustrious Covent Garden in less than ten minutes for a dazzling array of spots serving critically acclaimed international cuisine. Of course, you're in London's thriving theatre district, so why not bookmark the break with a trip to one of the brilliant West End shows nearby. 

Chimney Pot

Plant yourself right in the middle of London’s greatest entertainment district for a first-hand experience of this cultural capital. Minutes away from the famous Leicester Square, Piccadilly Circus, and Soho, what's a morning commute on the tube at rush hour compared to stepping straight out onto the lively high street? This is city living at its most literal. No trip is made too difficult and no sight need to be left unticked off your bucket list. Whilst there is so much fun to be had outside, this flat does not neglect the idea that work may still call. A big dining table allows you to dedicate some workspace to answer those all-important emails and a coffee machine is ready and set up to keep you energised. Spanning the length of the stylish monochrome-tinged living space, large glass windows can be opened up and bring the city up to you, with the faint buzz of pedestrians bustling down below. Its modern and chic design, sporting clean black lines, white cabinets, and splashes of colour truly offers the metropolitan lifestyle of an archetypal, young professional here in the big city. 

Central Walkabout

Welcome Hamper

This cozy London pad is perfect for a couple or a small group of friends. The flat is fully equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay, including a fully equipped kitchen, a washing machine and dryer, and a free WiFi connection. The location is also ideal, just a few minutes walk from Oxford Circus, Soho, and Tottenham Court Road.

Bloomsbury Life

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

Sitting on the second floor of a walk-up period building in Bloomsbury, this bright apartment not only provides views over charming Queen Square Gardens but also puts you in a central spot from which to explore the city. The British Museum, the Charles Dickens Museum and the British Library are all within walking distance, while the nearby transport links will whisk you to the buss of Soho and beyond in no time. Inside the home, modern decor and plenty of natural light are nice touches. And the extendable window-side table can easily double as a remote workspace if you’re visiting the city for business. 


Blue Skies Above

Step into the wizarding world at this home tucked down the narrow lane that inspired Diagon Alley. Harry Potter fans will adore the magical memorabilia scattered about – it's understated but adds to the charm. It's not the biggest home, but having four floors gives the impression of extra space. There's also a sofa bed for guests five and six, but we reckon it's a better fit for four. The street is a popular stop for tour groups, so you'll get passersby on your doorstep. But, with Covent Garden, Leicester Square, and Soho all within strolling distance, we think that’s a worthwhile trade.

Magical Moments

Being located on a street famous for its tailoring, it's fitting this home is so smartly curated and most importantly, comfortable. Just like a good suit the home has been impeccably finished. A two-tone linen corner sofa and honey-coloured oak flooring are a couple of the features that caught our eye. The large, private rooftop is a real boon and rarity in such a central location.

Durward Grand

Trash Compactor

With views of London’s famous Savoy Hotel, this elegant flat is a quiet escape while still being in the very heart of buzzing Central London. Start mornings off by making a cup of coffee in the beautiful marble-accented kitchen, then kick back on the sofa while taking in the sights from the living room’s wall of windows. When you’re ready to explore, Covent Garden is just a five-minute walk away while Waterloo Bridge is right around the corner giving you easy access to Southbank’s exciting entertainment options. After a day of sightseeing, come back home for a long soak in the tub (the bathroom has underfloor heating for added cosiness) before sitting down for an intimate meal at home. Alternatively, head back out to discover London’s vibrant food and nightlife scenes, with plenty of restaurants and bars right of your front step. When it’s time to turn in, you’ll find two luxuriously comfortable beds waiting to cradle you into a peaceful night’s sleep.


Stompin' At The Savoy

Wellness & Fitness

You can't get more central than this. Situated just a short walk from Covent Garden, Shaftesbury Avenue, and Piccadilly Circus, this apartment puts all of London's best bits right on your doorstep. From fantastic restaurants to fashionable shops, you won't be short of things to do – luckily, this apartment serves as a comfortable crash pad. Despite its simple design, it's equipped with everything you'll need for a hassle-free stay. There's a well-appointed kitchen, a desk for remote working, and a bright living room that's perfect for relaxing after sightseeing.

With its riot of colours and marquee style letter lighting, there’s something of a carnival vibe to this converted warehouse. It’s a post-industrial loft space that doesn’t take itself too seriously. We love the tongue-in cheek detailing, from the funky ‘hair hub’ to the dog wallpaper, irreverent cushions and neon letter art. The bedrooms are sexy and sumptuous and the high-spec kitchen will satisfy even the most ardent chef. You’d be hard pushed to find a better location as well. Based in central Soho, between Dean and Wardour Street, you’re in the heart of the action the second you step out of your door. It’s not a place for those seeking a quiet getaway though - don your feather boa and get out into the non-stop Soho fiesta. 

Cupid's Bow

Whether you’re visiting London for business or pleasure, this modern apartment helps you make the most out of your stay with its central location, comfortable modern styling and personalised service. 

Step inside to be greeted with wood floors, large letterbox windows and a chic contemporary decor that will put you instantly at ease. We love the touches of blue velvet in the decor, as well as the cool wall art that adds additional characterful flair to the proceedings. Those looking to catch up on work can do so at the handy desk space available while aspiring home chefs will find everything they need to whip up a feast in the sleek kitchen – when they’re not out sampling the countless local restaurants, that is. 

Your Holborn locale means you’ve got a plethora of cultural hotspots within easy reach, including the British Museum (a twelve-minute walk), the Charles Dickens Museum (a six-minute walk) and the British Library (a twenty-minute walk). And should you wish to indulge in some retail therapy, Covent Garden and Tottenham Court Road are also within a twenty-minute stroll from your door. 


Starstruck in Sapphire 

From this traditionally-minded yet well-maintained Mayfair apartment, there's a little taste of luxury in every direction. To your east is Liberty department store and there are further designer shopping options to your north on Bond Street. Head south and in two minutes, you could be on Savile Row, while wandering further west along these embassy-lined streets will get you to Grosvenor Square. However, despite this unbeatable location, we found this home to be extremely peaceful and a welcome refuge from the non-stop going-ons of Central London. The chic kitchen was a highlight here, with smart brass finishes contrasting nicely with honeycomb marble tiling, but let's not kid ourselves — with this many renowned restaurants only a short stroll away, don't be surprised if this home's oven remains undisturbed during the duration of your stay.

Zodiac Court

Shared Washing Machine

Central and convenient, this top-floor apartment is just a stone's throw from Oxford Circus. If sightseeing is on the agenda, you can walk to the British Museum, West End, and Covent Garden, and there are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, too. The building doesn't have a lift, so expect to climb stairs, but the apartment is perfectly formed for couples or small groups. Pocket-sized, it may be, it has all you need to unwind comfortably. Just note that though a third guest could sleep on a sofa bed, we think it's better for two.

Sapphire Sway

Enviably located in the heart of upmarket Fitzrovia, this apartment is just an eight-minute walk from Regent’s Park and ten minutes from Goodge Street tube station, putting you within easy reach of London’s most famous attractions. The place is well-appointed with everything you need for self-catering, guaranteeing a comfortable home-from-home for a solo traveller or couple. And to make your arrival all the more welcoming, your host provides complimentary toiletries and a welcome pack with tea, coffee and biscuits.

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

Fireplace

This modern apartment, spread over two floors, is perfect for a family or group of friends looking for a comfortable London base. It’s as central as you can get, on iconic Drury Lane – you’ll be just moments from Theatre District and Covent Garden. The apartment boasts a delightful sundeck off the open-plan living and dining space, making it a great place to return to after busy days and hectic crowds. If you need to relax further, enjoy a soak in the unique Japanese bathtub, designed to comfortably fit even the tallest of guests.

This London residence places you in the vibrant heart of Soho. From local cafes and restaurants to shops and iconic sights, you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to entertainment and dining options. It’s also just a short stroll to Piccadilly Circus tube station – making it easy to explore further afield. It’s worth noting the apartment isn’t suitable for children under 8, but it’s the ideal base for older families and couples in search of style and comfort in a fantastic location. There’s a Sonos sound system, a Nespresso coffee machine and all the essentials you could need to settle in and unwind. 


Soho Muse

So close to London’s most famous theatres you can practically hear the chorus lines being belted out, this home on Shaftesbury Avenue puts you right at the heart of the West End. Sitting right across from the Sondheim and Apollo theatres, this bright and modern home is the perfect base for those looking to be in the centre of the city’s action. With its sleek monochrome decor, parquet floors and large windows giving way to theatre district views, this home will definitely give you something to sing about. Enjoy breakfast in the bright, modern kitchen before heading out to explore the sights.  Leicester Square, Chinatown and Soho are all within a five-minute walk from your home, while Covent Garden’s cobbled streets are a ten-minute stroll away. After a day of shopping along Oxford Street (twelve minutes away), or wandering through Green Park (a fifteen-minute walk), come back home for a glass of wine on the sofa before catching a star-studded show at one of the countless venues on your doorstep. When it’s time to turn in, two elegantly pared-back rooms wait to drift you into a blissful night’s sleep, making you relaxed and ready for your encore the next day. 


Take A Bow

Garden

This standout apartment gives off an effortless air of style and sophistication with a design that's both innovative and timeless at the same time. Located within a rather grand looking red brick building overlooking the historic gardens of Lincoln's Inn Fields, the largest public square in London, you're well-positioned for casual Thames-side strolls along the embankment and venturing into London's bustling West End – either option is within a fifteen-minute walk. It's split over two levels and features a full floor-to-ceiling glass wall encompassing the downstairs atrium garden by all three bedrooms. Upstairs, you'll find a large, open living area and kitchen with plenty of chic seating that's perfect for sinking into with a good book or stretching out on with your favourite series. The adjacent kitchen has plenty of room to rustle up feasts for family and friends, plus a breakfast bar where you can make plans for the day each morning. Downstairs is where you'll find all three en-suite bedrooms set around the courtyard garden. Each one is designed to maximise your sleep with a calming colour palette and comfortable beds.

All Rise

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.

Defying its lower ground floor position, this sleek apartment is full of natural light, much in thanks to its skylights and the beautiful private courtyard. Accessed via the living room and bedroom, this leafy outdoor haven is all set to welcome morning coffees while catching some rays on its bench and evening drinks ahead of a night on the town.

When you’re not hanging out in your stylish home, go out and explore your surroundings – you’re in a prime location to explore some of the city’s best museums, including the British Museum (a ten-minute walk) and the Charles Dickens Museum (an eight-minute walk). Covent Garden’s cobbled streets packed with boutiques is also just a fifteen-minute stroll away, while the West End’s bright lights are seventeen minutes on foot from your door.

Bright and functional, this long second-floor apartment is newly renovated with fresh paint, carpets and contemporary furniture. There’s a lovely dining area in the conservatory – optimistically called a ‘‘sun room’ – plus a modern kitchen, good beds, rain showers and Xbox games to play. You’ve even got your own front door, through which both Covent Garden and Somerset House are close by.

Drury Lane Garden

There's no shortage of things to get up to in Leicester Square, that's for sure. Famous for landmark cinemas, star-studded movie premieres and buzzing casinos, this vibrant epicentre has plenty to keep you entertained.

When you're not out exploring, this stylish apartment is an excellent place to rest your head. We think it's bright and surprisingly roomy, especially for a flat in one of London's liveliest neighbourhoods.

If you're in the mood for a home-cooked meal, the glossy full-size kitchen has you covered. Both bedrooms have sumptuous beds and sleek bathrooms with rain showers, but our favourite detail is the small Juliet balcony off the dining area, where you can stand with your morning coffee and admire the Chinese lanterns hanging on the streets below. 

Here Comes The Night

Balcony / Patio

Unleash your inner shopaholic at this chic apartment, located in trendy Mayfair. You will be staying around the corner from both Regent Street and Oxford Street, two of London’s most iconic shopping destinations bursting with high-end boutiques. Afterwards, grab a pint in a Soho pub, dine in Chinatown, attend an exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts or simply do some leisurely sightseeing. At the end of a busy day, you can retreat to your chic apartment, decorated in white with bright colourful accents, Prepare a meal in the modern kitchen or kick up your feet and watch a movie in the airy living room. We love the French windows, which let in plenty of light, and on sunny days you can throw them open and step onto the balcony for a breath of fresh air. 

Mayfair Blooms

London locations don’t come more central than this. Slap bang in the middle of the capital’s vibrant West End, you’ve got theatres, shops, and galleries galore on the doorstep. And with Soho, Oxford Street, and Regent Street all within walking distance, you won’t even need to hop on the nearby Tube unless you want to explore further afield. While the home itself is compact, it has everything you’ll need for a fuss-free stay. At full capacity, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area, but seeing as you’ll probably spend most of your time out and about, this shouldn’t be a problem.
