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.

Staying in Hampstead means staying in one of London’s leafiest, most peaceful, and opulent neighbourhoods. This home is just a three-minute walk from the lush greenery of Hampstead Heath, where you can swim in natural pools, head to the striking viewpoint at Parliament Hill, or simply lose yourself in the dappled light of the walking trails. In a majestic red-brick building that feels quintessentially English, this charming garden flat is the perfect base for discovering the delights of your locale. Inside, the modern decor feels understated and pretty zen overall, but you’ll find quirky little touches like colourful, graphic artwork and funky fringed cushions. But our favourite spot has to be the outdoor space. Enclosed by a wooden fence with ivy flowing over the edges, this wooden patio feels like a secret garden escape. Sip a gin and tonic as you wait for the barbecue to heat up – you could even lie back in the hammock and close your eyes for a minute... If you do fancy a day out of elegant West London, take an eight-minute walk to Hampstead tube station and explore the city with ease.

Once famous for its punk shops and alternative market scene, Camden has smartened up its act in recent years. Yes, there’s still the bustling shopping area stretching all the way down to Camden Lock, but there’s also a certain chicness mixed in with the indie vibes. This well-styled apartment blends together the old Camden edge and a more modern cosmopolitan vibe. Take the living room, for example – nods to British eccentricity are seen in the velvet reading chair and boldly contrasting orange cushions, but the plain walls and Modernist–inspired standing lamp keep everything feeling fresh and light. Catch a glimpse of London’s rooftops from the bedrooms’ windows before heading to the kitchen for breakfast. Then set off for a day of exploring. You’re right on the edge of Regent’s Park, so grab a coffee and walk twenty-five minutes to the rose garden, where you can while away the hours. Then stroll along Regent’s Canal and take in the city’s skyline from the top of Primrose Hill. After a long day of sightseeing, you’ll relish coming back home for a soak in the tub before kicking back for a relaxing evening on the sofa – or, perhaps you’ll head back out to experience Camden’s vibrant nightlife.

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.

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.

There’s a wide range of reading material, board games, and recipe books so you can hone your culinary repertoire in the well equipped kitchen. 

There’s construction work taking place behind the home, so you may hear noise between 8am and 6pm in the week and on some Saturday mornings. But since you are in a prime position to explore all of London’s delights, you’ll be raring to go, and you’ll come home to a quiet and peaceful house. Make a beeline for the British Museum, an eighteen-minute walk away, to see their vast, extraordinary collection spanning over 2 million years of human life. You’re also a twenty-minute stroll from the trendy Coal Drops Yard with its myriad shops and restaurants, and an eight-minute walk from the Charles Dickens Museum. There are multiple tube and train lines from King's Cross St. Pancras, so you can easily hop around London. 

After a day of exploring, put on a vinyl record and kick back on the sofa, or enjoy a glass of wine in the serenity of your back garden. On balmy evenings, fire up the barbecue and dine alfresco together before settling down for a movie. 

Song for the Soul

In keeping with its classy surroundings, this apartment is grand and welcoming.

Brick & Mortar

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

Step-Free Access

Perched above Regent’s Park, this chic penthouse promises a serene getaway in the city. We love the space afforded here, perfect for socialising as a family and swapping stories from the day.

A Life in London

Wheelchair Access

Doorman

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

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

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.

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

It probably won't come as a surprise to learn that an architect designed and lived in this Bloomsbury apartment. You can see their attention to detail and creativity in every room, whether it's the colourful mural on the wall in one of the bedrooms, the cast copy of Elgin's Marbles in the living room or the striking wood panelling in the kitchen, which was repurposed from the floor of an old school. You can certainly detect a sense of playfulness too, especially with the gregariously gilded mirror and portrait frames contrasted against the stark and simple white walls. However, the meticulous design is only half the reason we fell for this flat. The location is pretty unbeatable, with The British Museum just across the road and the thrills of Soho reachable in ten minutes on foot.

Subtle & Soft

Rice Maker

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.

This chic apartment can be found in lively Clerkenwell. There are bars and restaurants nearby, as well as excellent transport links to the rest of London, and you’ll only be a twelve-minute walk from the Barbican Centre.

The apartment is contemporary but cosy, with attractive high-end finishes and a petite balcony. At full occupancy, four guests will sleep on two sofa beds in the living space, which might feel a little crowded for longer stays. 

The Modern Minster

Sitting just a stone’s throw from Mayfair’s Royal Academy of Arts, this snazzy apartment puts you right at the heart of London’s most fashionable and prestigious district. Bright and modern, there’s an artistic simplicity to its elegant laid-back feel with an open-plan layout that lets you take in its ample size and chic decor with ease.

Academic Arts

Breakfast Included

A stylish, state-of-the-art home set on a serene mews street in Bloomsbury, this two-bedroom apartment is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a peaceful corner that's close to the action. The interior is decorated in a mid-century-meets-industrial style, with Crittall-style windows and doors, a minimalist kitchen and elegant furniture that's sure to appeal to the style-conscious. 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.

Hail to the King

Set right in a central location, this apartment in Leicester Square is perfect for visitors who want to waste no time reaching London’s landmarks. The streets of Soho, the hustle of Leicester Square, and the landmark of Trafalgar Square are practically within touching distance. 

Thanks to the apartment's layout, the two modern and cosy bedrooms are at the back of the building, making them extra quiet for a peaceful sleep in hotel-quality beds before another jaunt out in the city. In fact, we found it almost shocking just how quiet the flat is for the location, made even more ambient by the sleek white design. 

The famous Regent street is only a ten–minute's walk away too, we absolutely love the gems you can find in the shops. Sore feet after long days out shopping? Wash off in a waterfall shower, let the blackout shades down, and pop on some Netflix before doing it all over again the next day. 

The Thick Of It

This apartment takes top marks for location. It's situated in vibrant King's Cross, just a short walk from the well-connected train station and the area's bars and restaurants. We think it's an ideal sport for first-time visitors and seasoned travellers alike. But it's not just the location that caught our eye. The decor back home is simple yet stylish. There are two roomy bedrooms, a breezy open-plan living area, and a small balcony – it's a tad overlooked but still a nice enough spot to enjoy the fresh air. All in all, it's a great option for friends and families.

Silver Shadows

Trash Compactor

Mayfair is synonymous with elegance and luxury, the very best of London, so where better to stay? This apartment is in the heart of it, moments from Savile Row and Grosvenor Square. You’ll also be able to stroll to Hyde Park, Oxford Street, and many restaurants from here. When you’re not out and about in London, you’ll likely spend most of your time in the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen space, with its high ceilings and tall windows. This is an attractive home-from-home, ideal for a couple or a solo traveller seeking a convenient and comfortable base in central London. 

Mayfair Light

This home is in a really special location along a quaint mews street in the heart of London. It's perfect for a larger group visiting the city to catch up, attend business meetings or simply see the sights. With two separate living rooms, there's plenty of space for everyone to spread out and get comfortable, while the desk and dining table provide stylish places to work remotely. There's even a pretty patio – a true luxury in the city centre – where you can enjoy your morning coffee or a G&T at the end of a long London day. You might like to head into the kitchen to cook up a traditional Sunday roast, but if you prefer someone else does the hard work then there are plenty of pubs and restaurants in the surrounding Marylebone area. Work off your meal with a stroll through gorgeous Regent's Park, just seven minutes away on foot, and pop in to visit the animals in ZSL London Zoo. Or, if a spot of retail therapy is more your kind of thing, then iconic Oxford Street is just a ten-minute stroll from your front door – you won't have far to carry your new purchases. And, with Regent's Park Station close by, it's quick and easy to get around using public transport. 

English Manner

Sitting in the corner of a charming Georgian square not too far from King's Cross, this home has a few surprises up its sleeve.

The first is its sheer size. Spread across four floors, there's a wealth of space in which large groups can gather and spend time together. And this isn't all inside, either – in a city in which outdoor space is highly coveted, this townhouse benefits from not just one, but two terraces. One of these is up on the roof, while the other is a pleasant, plant-filled garden with plenty of seating and a barbecue.

Back inside, the design leans on the traditional side, although there are a fair few quirky features inside. The wall mural in the living room is particularly pretty, as is the eclectic collection of artwork that lines the walls and the Mediterranean-style tiles in the bathrooms. If these aren't to your taste, the view of the leafy garden square from the large windows might just well be.

Despite being right in the heart of London, the immediate area feels quiet and residential, although you don't have too far to walk if you're after a distraction or two. The neighbourhood is well-covered when it comes to museums, with institutions dedicated to Charles Dickens, the Post Office and even funeral history reached in ten minutes on foot. The daddy of them all, The British Museum, is only a twenty-minute walk, too.


Curious Georgian

Sleek and stylish, this apartment is an ideal base for a family or group of friends. It’s in buzzy Camden Town, just a five-minute walk from Camden station and a twelve-minute walk to Regent’s Park. You can easily explore London from this central base. We love the balcony, which is a real bonus for the location, and is a dreamy spot for summer evenings. One guest will be sleeping on a sofa bed in the living space, which may not be comfortable for long stays. 

The Privateer

Digital nomads, this fuss-free Fitzrovia flat might be perfect for you. It's got a workspace in the living area, a kitchen with everything you need, and a comfortable bedroom. The cherry on top is the private patio – although a little plain, it's still a lovely spot to enjoy a cup of tea in the morning sun. It's worth pointing out that two guests will sleep on a sofa bed here and that the building lacks a lift. As for location, cafes, bars, and eateries line the nearby streets, while multiple Tube stations are within walking distance.
