The space itself makes efficient use of its two floors – downstairs you'll find a living space, kitchen, dining area, and nifty fold-away work station, while upstairs provides a large, loft-like bedroom with a king-size bed, private balcony, and en-suite bathroom. As a location, the joy of Primrose Hill is its versatility – you'll be seconds from the eponymous park, which offers a unique view of the London skyline and adjoins the larger Regent's Park, while to the east you'll find the classic alternative energy of Camden and its famous market.

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.

Decidedly modern, this split-level flat caught our eye with its luxurious extras, industrial-chic design and super central location. Our favourite room is the glossy kitchen, which is decked out with all the amenities you'll need – double Siemens ovens, a humidity-controlled fridge, top-of-the-range cookware and even a Nordic Quooker boiling tap, just to name a few. We think keen chefs and amateur cooks alike will love rustling up a tasty breakfast or hearty dinner under the skylight. 

Both bedrooms are as comfortable as they are stylish – one even has access to a small, narrow patio – and the bathrooms are the definition of grand, with their lavish rainfall showers and polished marble walls. And we adore the exposed grey brick scattered around, most notably in the living room – it's the perfect area to relax after a busy day taking advantage the pubs, bookstores and museums that dot this corner of London. 

Speaking of location, Bloomsbury is an excellent base for a stay in the capital. The British Museum is only thirteen minutes on foot, while iconic spots like Covent Garden, St Paul's Cathedral and Trafalgar Square are also within walking distance – about half an hour, give or take. Whether you want to shop on Oxford Street, sample the gastronomic delights in Soho or just roam the city in search of adventure, you'll be well-placed for exploring – especially with Chancery Lane station less than ten minutes away.

It's a theme that continues into the bedrooms, with exposed brick walls, ample built-in storage and an opulent en-suite attached to the master bedroom. One of the joys of Bloomsbury is that pretty much everything is within walking or cycling distance. There are plenty of hidden gems tucked away down backstreets and side alleys, too, including plenty of classic English pubs, cool coffee shops and a collection of lesser-known museums. Elsewhere, the nearby Brunswick Centre has an assortment of shops, an arthouse cinema and a Waitrose for stocking up on essentials. There's also plenty of green space nearby at Russell Square, Gray's Inn Gardens and Coram's Fields.

If we had to describe contemporary luxury, this apartment would be a shining example. Sleek blacks and glossy whites take centre stage, with gold accents adding a touch of glam. But besides the chic decor, there are many other reasons we're swooning over this swanky pad. For starters, the main bedroom has a sumptuous bed that you'll immediately want to sink into and a gorgeous en-suite with a lush soaker tub. In the kitchen, you'll find everything you'll need to rustle up dinner – from wine glasses and dinnerware to a Nespresso coffee machine. Set the mood for your home-cooked feast by playing your favourite songs over the Bluetooth sound system, then end the evening with a glass of wine and a movie on the squishy L-shaped sofa. When you don't fancy cooking, pop out to one of the excellent restaurants or cosy pubs in Marylebone – you're just a two-minute walk from the bustling high street lined with cafes, boutiques and eateries, so you won't have to travel far. And with Baker Street, Bond Street and Marylebone stations all a short stroll away, there's no doubt that you're well-placed for exploring the rest of London.

Feeling Glam

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.

When you’re staying just six minutes from King’s Cross Station, the bustling travel hub of London, you might not expect to find serenity. However, this Georgian maisonette defies all expectations, offering a luxurious and calm spot with elegant and original decor. From rich, hardwood flooring and cabinets, to chic hanging lamps and art adorning the walls, a rustic versus modern contrast is present throughout. While we love the interior details, an outdoor area in the city centre is a rare feature that’s hard to ignore. With not one but two separate spaces for entertaining, enjoy an Earl Grey in the morning, and move on to a glass of fine English sparkling wine by dusk. As if exploring the gorgeous home and grounds wasn’t enough, your host has some extra surprises. Indoors, find your very own 4K projector and sound system for a luxury movie night. Outside, find a barbecue and even an outdoor heater for winter nights. If you muster up the courage to leave your peaceful palace, head seven minutes over the canal to Granary Square and Coal Drops Yard. For foodies and shoppers alike, this recently redeveloped area has beautifully renovated buildings housing cocktail bars, artisan markets, and high-end restaurants.

A Piece of Heaven

Overlooking Regent’s Canal, this waterfront mews house sets the tone for laidback city break. You can enjoy the views from the open-plan living room or while relaxing on the balcony.

Originally built in the 1730s, this sumptuous apartment is a shining example of Georgian architecture. The building is one of the oldest in Mayfair – in 1821, famed Buckingham Palace architect Thomas Cubbit extended it – and you can see the character, history and period details in every room. It feels like a home you want to linger in, with new surprises waiting at every turn. We love the antique furniture – a clawfoot desk here, a fauteuil armchair there – but the smart kitchen, stylish bathroom and mod-cons like a rainfall shower, espresso machine and Netflix bring things in the 21st-century. We think it's the best of both worlds, and the location is even better.

Ritzy and charming, Mayfair is home to leafy squares, cobbled lanes lined with cafes and some of the oldest shops in London. Fashionistas will enjoy shopping along New Bond Street and Saville Row (a five-minute walk away), art fiends can browse the nearby galleries and auction houses (Phillips Auction House & Gallery is right next door) and foodies will love the bevvy of gourmet eateries nearby. With Bond Street Station only six minutes away on foot, travelling around the rest of the city is easy – perfect if you fancy a bit of sightseeing.

The Georgian Architect

In the heart of Fitzrovia, this apartment makes it easy to discover London. You'll find Goodge Street Station a short stroll away, though exploring on foot is also an option – Oxford Street, Soho, and the British Museum are just a few of the things within walking distance. This neighbourhood is known for its cosy pubs and laid-back eateries, but if you fancy a night in, the kitchen is ready to rustle up dinner. There's also a desk for business travellers, as well as a comfortable living space. The only small downside is the snug second bedroom, but with the option to arrange the beds as either kings or singles, it offers great flexibility.

As Goodge as It Gets

Looking for sophistication, but still prone to wearing ripped jeans? Set on a nice backstreet close to the punk-spirited Camden High Street, this flat offers the perfect compromise. Best suited to couples, it’s characterised by exotic ebony flooring and gently-stylish fittings. Period details like the filled-in iron fireplace lend a sense of romance, as do strolls through nearby Regent’s Park or posh Primrose Hill. There’s also an excellent kitchen, while the luxury bathroom includes both a tub and rainfall shower.

Punk Hip

Playstation

If you’re in search of a stylish stay in a central location, this apartment delivers a sweet solution. Inside, you’ll be welcomed by warm interiors and a cosy ambience. There’s also a PS5 with two controllers and Apple speakers for laidback evenings at home, while the kitchen comes with a Nespresso machine and all the essentials you could need to make it your own. And when it comes to explorations further afield, it’s just a short walk to local shops, pubs and restaurants as well as Regent’s Canal. 

The City Sun

Ideal for families seeking a central location and comfortable stay, this home in the heart of Fitzrovia is just a ten-minute walk from Regent’s Park and fifteen minutes from the bustling Oxford Circus. Warren Street is your closest tube station, no more than a five-minute stroll away. Comprising two apartments, there’s plenty of space for a group to stretch out, and the two kitchens mean mealtimes are a breeze. Those visiting on business will be pleased to know the place has superfast broadband, ideal for virtual meetings. 

Fitzroy Fancy

In the heart of Shoreditch, this industrial-chic apartment sits in a converted warehouse. Contemporary and cool, the apartment combines industrial-style charm with sleek, modern amenities. Think wooden floors, exposed brickwork, and a warehouse window. The open-plan living space is a great spot for entertaining, leading to a fully equipped kitchen. If you’d rather not cook, there are plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. Old Street Tube station is a short walk away, and you can also stroll to Shoreditch High Street. 

Brick & Mortar

A stay in King's Cross could not be more convenient. It's no secret that the famous train station is very well connected, but the area is also home to a wealth of buzzing restaurants, bars, and shops. This apartment puts all of that at your fingertips. It's an excellent size for two people, with a bright living space, sleek kitchen and comfortable bedroom. Planning to work from home? The dining table doubles up as a desk. There's also a small balcony – it's a tad overlooked, but outside space in London isn't anything to scoff at, so we'll take it.

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.

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

Ideally located just a fifteen-minute walk from King's Cross St. Pancras, this colourful, comfortable apartment puts you in a prime spot to discover London, as well as a jumping-off point for day trips aplenty thanks to its unparalleled transport links. 
 
Inside, vibrant pops of yellow, green and blue set an instantly cheerful tone in the bright living area, bathed in light thanks to the large windows here. Snuggle up on the sofa with a glass of wine after a day of touring the city or gather around the window-side table for a homemade feast when you’re not out sampling the area’s vibrant food scene. 
 
The two pared-back bedrooms, meanwhile, offer equally large windows, as well as comfy beds that promise a restful night’s sleep. 
 
When you’re ready to venture out, explore the many shops and restaurants in Coal Drops Yard (a fifteen-minute walk) or visit the impressively large British Library (a twenty-four-minute walk). You’re also a fifteen-minute bus ride from funky Camden Town and its famous alternative market, while your proximity to  King's Cross St. Pancras, as well as to St Pancras International – a twenty-minute walk – means easy access to other beauty spots around the country, as well as trips to Paris on the Eurostar.

The East Branch

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

Spanning two floors of a converted warehouse building, this central Camden maisonette offers upside-down living at its best. Upstairs, there’s a sleek, open-plan living space, all flooded with natural light. While downstairs, there are two king-sized bedrooms with heaps of storage space. Sharing with friends? Then you’ll appreciate the two separate bathrooms for a bit more privacy. Location-wise, the expansive Regent’s Park and the panoramic views from Primrose Hill are just a short distance away for dog walks (four-legged friends are welcome here, too). And even closer, Camden’s market and High Street for all the London buzz you’re chasing. Need to be somewhere fast? Camden Underground Station is right around the corner.

Camden Edge

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.

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.

Blue Skies Above

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.


Durward Charm

 Boasting an unparalleled location on London’s iconic Shaftesbury Avenue – home to some of the capital’s most famous West End theatres – this comfortable top-floor apartment puts you in the heart of Central London’s action, with countless opportunities for shopping and entertainment on your doorstep. 
 
Inside, wood floors, contemporary furnishings and large windows that give way to Theatreland views create a welcoming first impression in the open-plan living area. Kick back on the plump sofa with a glass of wine while watching the twinkling lights dance around the Sondheim Theatre, or sit down to an intimate meal when you’re not out sampling the area’s varied and vibrant food scene. 
 
The two bedrooms, meanwhile, are pared-back spaces offering London rooftop views, as well as snuggly beds you’ll relish retreating to at the end of a busy day of sightseeing.

You’re also a five-minute walk from Leicester Square, a seven-minute stroll from Soho, while Covent Garden’s restaurants and high-end boutiques are eight minutes away on foot. 


The Double Bill

Time travel back to the swinging psychedelic sixties with a stay in this beautifully curated apartment, located in the heart of Mayfair. Sitting within a building dating back to the 1730s, it’s the earliest surviving house in the area and was modernised in 1821 by Thomas Cubitt – the same master builder who constructed Buckingham Palace’s facade. 
 
Packed full of Art Nouveau and early Art Deco antiques – styles that signalled fashion and rebellion in the 1960s – there’s a definite touch of retro glamour in the living room, paired with vibrant pop art prints of the Beatles and swish velvet furnishings that effortlessly channel sixties cool. Kick back on the sofa with a glass of wine after a day of exploring or gather around the elegant dining table for a sophisticated soirée when you’re not out soaking up the lively atmosphere of Central London at night. 
 
The two bedrooms, meanwhile, are equally plush with their comfortable beds and extravagant colour schemes and each boasts a desk space should you need to catch up on work. Factor in the sleek bathroom with its rainfall shower, and you’ve got everything you need for a stylishly vintage stay. 
 
When it comes to exploring, trace the steps of the young, vibrant '60s socialites who worked in the area – like Terence Donovan, David Bailey, and John Cowan who had their studios on your street – or treat yourself to some retail therapy along Oxford Street, a six-minute walk away. You’re also a twelve-minute stroll from leafy Hyde Park, while Soho is thirteen minutes away on foot.

Swinging Psychedelia

We think Samuel Johnson was right when he said that “when a man is tired of London, he’s tired of life”. So it's best to stay in the heart of the city in Soho, where one can never tire. Make this charming flat your base as you explore the surrounding bustle. The bright, open living room has a comfortable sofa and family dining table, so you can chill out, relax and gather as a group to eat in comfort and style. The kitchen has everything you need for dinner – though there are plenty of restaurants around if you'd prefer to let some of the world's best chefs do the cooking. Step out onto your private balcony, with its racing-green tiled walls, and enjoy the fresh air as you look out over the rooftops of Soho. Despite the incredible location round the corner from Leicester Square, this home manages to enjoy a sense of calmness and privacy that belies the busy Soho streets that surround it. If you're chasing the thrill of the city, this is the perfect place.

Chills Of The Square

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.
