Whether you're in London to shop, museum-hop, or catch a West End show, this stylish apartment is in the perfect location. Not to mention, you've also got views over the greenery of Bloomsbury Square – a rare feature in such a central home. Just around the corner (quite literally), you'll find the British Museum, and Covent Garden and the theatre district are just a short walk away. The compact open-plan living and dining space is just big enough for meals at home and putting your feet up after a long day of exploring – and with such a central location, we bet you'll be doing lots of it.

Blooming Square

Exquisitely eccentric, with a roof terrace overlooking the British Museum, this rare and quirky penthouse is ideal for a family or group of friends who want to be as inspired by their London home as they are by its first-rate Bloomsbury location. Every corner reveals a clever design feature, a stunning work of art, a spectacular mural or a flamboyantly decorated bedroom – the multitude of idiosyncrasies makes this colourful home a real feast for the eyes. Maybe you’ll spend your mornings sipping an espresso on the balcony or perhaps you’ll sprawl out in the trendy living space as the appointed chef of your group knocks up a tasty breakfast in the sleek kitchen. When you’re ready to explore, the best of the city is on your doorstep. You’re a ten-minute walk from the bustling Covent Garden, fifteen minutes to the heart of Soho and twenty-five minutes due east to Smithfield Market. Plus, you’re only a four-minute stroll to Tottenham Court tube station should you wish to tick off London’s thirty-two boroughs. 

Russell the Great

Make yourself at home in this modern apartment, which is in a fantastic location for exploring London (or travelling beyond the city). Close to King’s Cross station, you’ll have easy access to the Tube and trains, while also being walking distance from popular spots like Camden Market and Regent’s Park. The apartment itself has all the comforts you need whether you’re in London for work or leisure, including a well-equipped kitchen – although you’ll find plenty of restaurants nearby too. You can also make the most of some great amenities while you’re staying here, including a gym, roof terrace, and lots of communal lounge space. Check in, then check out everything that this world-class city has to offer.

The Golden Cross

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

You’ll find this modern pad nestled between Covent Garden and Holborn. Easy to access, courtesy of a private lift that opens into the apartment, it’s perfectly placed for friends or family on a London stay. It has everything you need to settle in, including a small kitchen and a dining table that doubles as a workspace. Location-wise, it’s a mere four-minute stroll to the iconic Covent Garden Market, where trendy shops, delicious eateries and street performers await. After a spot of culture? The British Museum and Royal Opera House are within easy walking distance, too. For everything else, Holborn Station is just three minutes away, making trips across the city a breeze. 

Covent Garden Gem

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. 

Ivy & Moss

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

Looking for a first-class location in London? This apartment certainly ticks that box. It’s a short walk to King’s Cross station, where you can hop on the Tube to explore more of London (or catch a train beyond the city). With a clean, contemporary design and everything you need to feel at home (including a well-equipped kitchen), it’s a great place to base yourself during a city break. And whether you’re visiting for work or play, there are lots of amenities to make your stay more comfortable, including a gym, roof terrace, and communal spaces for lounging or setting up your laptop. So there’s more to love here than just the great location.

Keys to the Cross

This Paddington apartment has space to work from home and excellent transport links across the city. It's a great find for business travellers, though families and friend groups will also feel right at home. Keep in mind that the living space is on the smaller side, and it's on the third floor of a building without a lift. Even so, given the location – a five-minute walk from Paddington Station and twenty minutes from Hyde Park – we think that's a fair compromise.

The Paddington Pick

If you’re looking to experience the vibrant heart of London, this apartment is meant for you. Outside, you won’t have to go far to find shops, restaurants and cafes. Oxford Street is on your doorstep, while Soho, Mayfair and Covent Garden are all within easy reach. There’s no private parking available here, but you’ll be placed between two tube stations – ensuring easy access to iconic sights across the city. And when it comes to relaxation, this apartment has all the home comforts you could need to settle in and unwind. There’s a Nespresso machine and a sound system to set the tone for a refreshing stay. Plus, your host can help arrange airport transfers and luggage storage.

The Soho Sunrise 

If you’re in search of a stylish base in a fantastic location, this apartment delivers a wonderful solution. Set within a restored Grade II Listed building, every detail has been thoughtfully curated to inspire optimum relaxation. Original features sit alongside contemporary comforts, making it easy to settle in and unwind. There’s a Marshall Bluetooth speaker, a welcome pack for your arrival and a range of extra services available – including a private chef and airport transfers. You’ll also be spoiled for choice when it comes to local restaurants, cafes and shops. 

Rose of London

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.
