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.

Situated on a unique crescent-shaped street of Victorian homes – this apartment in Kings Cross is a great find. There’s an array of restaurants, bars and boutiques at nearby Granary Square and Coal Drops Yard, or have a stroll along the canal close by. The apartment itself has been featured in a variety of films and advertisements and takes its inspiration from a collection of artists and intellectuals known as the Bloomsbury Group. The highlight for us though is the pretty courtyard garden – the perfect spot for reading a book.

Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

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.

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.

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.

Regent's Rose

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.

Wellness & Fitness

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.

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.

Bull Inn a China Shop

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.

Located just a minute’s walk from Oxford Street’s parade of shops, this stylish apartment is the perfect base for those wishing to experience the vibrancy of Central London.  We love how this home mirrors its elegant, upscale surroundings – chic touches like a velvet sofa in the living room and dusky blue floral wallpaper in the hall amp up the luxe feel of this home while natural light streams in from the windows overlooking charming James Street. Pour yourself a glass of wine to enjoy on the balcony or while seated on one of the armchairs – a good book in hand – or gather together for a celebratory feast at the chic dining table. The plush beds with their luxurious bedding are made for sinking into after a long day of work or sightseeing. Unless that is, you'd rather sink into some bubbles first – with large soaking tubs, how could you not? Outside of your home, Hyde Park beckons long afternoon ambles a ten-minute walk away, while the bright lights of the West End promise unforgettable theatre and entertainment, twenty-five minutes on foot from your door.

Although it has changed over the years, the central neighbourhood of Soho remains one of London's most notorious — a centre for hedonism and culinary delights. This apartment in a converted townhouse gives you the opportunity to call it home for a while. Despite its incredible location, it's far from poky, with large windows in the living room flooding the space with natural light, which dances nicely off the dark wooden floors and cleansingly white walls. The bedroom is generously sized too, as is the sleek white kitchen, which will stand up to home-cooking duties should you tire of the countless restaurants that surround your address. Soho Square Gardens sits a minute's walk up the road if you want somewhere to people-watch, while there are a wide range of comedy clubs, theatres and late-night dancefloors in a radius of ten minutes' walk or so to keep you occupied once the sun goes down.

Part of a Grade II-listed building in oh-so-charming Marylebone, this snug apartment offers high ceilings, large windows, and a touch of character. With the help of award-winning architects and first-class designers, the style is the perfect mix of contemporary and cosy – think antique Persian rugs, tweed-covered sofas, and curated artwork. It's not the biggest, so it suits solo travellers and couples. Your host can also organise private chefs, airport transfers, and discounts to a nearby health club. Factor in the prime location, close to Oxford Street, Regent's Park, and the Tube, and you'll see why it ticks our boxes.

Marylebone Bliss

Board Games

Enjoy a relaxing weekend escape exploring the trendy area of East London, follow the narrow boats and the smell of hand roasted coffee through street art and beards on bicycles. Have your La La moment on the piano and enjoy the balcony. 

The East Branch

Mixing contemporary stylings with Grade II-listed charm, this pad in Marylebone is a perfect fit for couples and solo travellers. What it lacks in floorspace, it makes up for in comfort. The kitchen is ideal for quick bites, the dining table doubles as a workspace, and the collection of curated art and other hand-picked decor gives the whole place a boutique feel. As for location? You can't beat it. Shops, restaurants, and cafes – it's all within walking distance here. And with Underground stations an easy stroll away, you'll be well-connected to the rest of the city, too.

The Lithograph

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

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

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.

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.

Private Parking

This sophisticated townhouse is on a quiet street in Marylebone, close to Regent’s Park and the Baker Street Tube station. It’s the perfect place to stay for a stylish, comfortable break in London – you’ll be in the heart of the city. The house is beautifully decorated and has everything you’ll need including a fully-equipped kitchen, two living areas, and a balcony. Your host can provide a range of luxurious extras, including private chefs and in-home spa treatments. 

Marylebone Elegance

This Mayfair apartment is ideal for those who desire as central an address as possible in London without sacrificing stylish interiors or having the comforts of modern living at hand. You might think it's asking a lot, but this home delivers on all fronts. There's a huge amount of space here, with the expansive open-plan living area and kitchen an innately social place for guests to gather, while the bedrooms each have an en-suite and tons of storage space. The decor is simple but effective — the herringbone parquet flooring works nicely with the glistening white kitchen and mid-century furniture. And that's before we even get to the local area that's overflowing with luxe attractions, from Michelin-starred restaurants and fine art dealers to the age-old loveliness of Green Park, just a five-minute walk away.

The Regal Albemarle III

Baby Monitor

Found on Shaftesbury Avenue, those fond of the stage will love this apartment right in the heart of London's West End — not many people get to call some of the capital's most famous theatres neighbours, that's for sure.

Excellent location aside, there's plenty to like about the interior. The black and white colour scheme gives this home a sophisticated edge, with hardwood floors, abstract prints and chic furnishings adding to this sleek impression. We love the elegant simplicity of the bedroom with its floor-to-ceiling windows, freestanding full-length mirror and luxurious bed, as well as the white-tiled bathroom that invites long soaks under the rainfall shower after a day of sightseeing.

Speaking of exploring, you’ve got endless things to see and do right on your doorstep. The restaurants of Chinatown are just around the corner, the cinemas of Leicester Square are a four-minute walk and the boutiques of Covent Garden are reachable in less than ten minutes on foot. Add to that the nightlife of Soho and you might just find you don't spend all too much time actually inside the apartment.


The Beagle

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

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 modern hideaway is in buzzing Fitzrovia – a neighbourhood packed with swanky cocktail bars, Michelin-starred restaurants and chi-chi cafes. Plus, the British Museum is just a short stroll away. The apartment is fairly swanky itself, with a stylish open living, kitchen and dining room with space for the whole group to hang out together. Bedrooms are comfortable – ideal after a day sightseeing in the city or attending meetings. Right in the heart of London, it’s the perfect spot for business or leisure. 

Fitzrovia's Heartbeat

This bright retreat in Holborn is ideally placed to get the most out of Central London’s buzzing atmosphere while remaining sheltered away from the busy streets in its quiet setting right by Red Lion Square. 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. Though there’s plenty of playful elements to the home – not least of all the London Underground–inspired kitchen – you’re all set up to get some work done with a neat office space equipped with a printer and ergonomic chair. 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.

Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

Central Light

Located in the heart of Marylebone, this elegant home opens its doors to effortless city living. 

It’s a versatile space, designed to bring ease and comfort to your stay. From the curated art and objects to the soft lighting and furnishings, every detail feels considered and mindful – it’s the kind of space that doesn’t just look good but feels good. 

And whether you’re preparing your morning coffee in the kitchen, writing at the desk or socialising in the living area, there’s an uplifting quality to this home that makes you want to stay. 

Outside, it’s just a short walk to the independent boutiques and restaurants of Marylebone High Street or five–minutes into SoHo. Start your day in Monocle Cafe and then head to the National Gallery, making a stop at the charming Daunt Books along the way. 

Wherever the city spirit takes you, this home makes the perfect setting to relax in the company of friends.

The Essentials 

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. You're also a short stroll from Soho, the British Museum, and Oxford Street.

Fitzrovia Finesse

Sun Loungers / Beach Chairs

We were sold on this apartment’s Marylebone location alone. And that was before we even clocked the home’s private terrace. Housed in a handsome Georgian building, while most of the period features have been swapped out for contemporary decor, those impressive dual-aspect windows and double-height ceilings remain. If six share, the last two guests will sleep on a sofa bed in the lounge. Not ideal for some, but it could work great for family sharing. When you’re ready to explore, Marylebone High Street and Regent’s Park are just a five-minute stroll away. Or hop on the underground at Regent’s Park Station (four minutes on foot) to another corner of the city.

Be More Elizabeth

This apartment is perfect for a couple or small family looking for a convenient place to stay in London. It’s located just a short walk from the famous Sadler’s Wells theatre, yet is tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac in a leafy residential area. You’ll have access to the communal gardens and will have your own private balcony, too. There are plenty of shops, restaurants, and bars nearby, and the home is equipped with everything you might need for a comfortable stay. Bedroom two has a trundle bed that can be set up as a double or two single beds, making this home a versatile choice.

Sadler's Delight

In keeping with its classy surroundings, this apartment is grand and welcoming. Located in affluent Marylebone, you'll be removed from the crowds of tourists, while still being just moments away from many of the major sights and sounds London has to offer. You'll also be a short walk from Regent's Park and Hyde Park for those relaxing afternoon ambles. Whether you're working or exploring, this home is a great option for those after a peaceful stay. Inside, you'll find a handy desk in the main bedroom as well as a modern kitchen with all of the appliances needed for home cooking – ideal for those planning a longer stay. 

London's Edge

You only have to look at the number of rooftop bars in the UK's capital to see how much Londoners love being up among the city's iconic skyline and this Chinatown apartment lets you get in on the fun. Here, guests get access to a private terrace with plenty of seating so you can kick back and relax above the hustle and bustle of Soho below. The interior of this home is equally impressive in our books. Quirky artwork and house plants add pops of colour against the stark white walls in the living space and bedrooms, while the honeycomb-tiled bathrooms are as sleek as they come, too. There's a spacious minimalist kitchen and a chic glass dining table, but given the location and the countless restaurants that in the locale, we wouldn't be surprised if these remain unused. As well as plenty of places to eat, the main row of West End theatres on Shaftesbury Avenue sits at the top of the street, while Leicester Square and its cinemas are three minutes' walk in the other direction.

This sleek apartment is situated nearby to the luxurious shopping experience of exploring Harrods, perfect for those wanting a city break. The large windows allow plenty of natural daylight to pour into the home, shining off of the white walls. The double bedroom grants access to the balcony where you can enjoy an energising cup of coffee in the mornings as you watch the world go by down below – this room also includes a TV, making it more tempting than ever to have a relaxing duvet day watching movies as the cool breeze flows in through the balcony door. Tuck into delicious homecooked meals at the glass dining table, followed by snuggling up together on the sofa as the amber glow of the evening lights up the living space.

Head out to explore the charming area of Knightsbridge, where you'll find beautiful Victorian homes and upscale shops such as the famous Harrods where you can browse the wares and find tasty food to enjoy back at home. Wander the streets of Knightsbridge to discover even more high streets stores and eateries.

Breakfast Included

In Gina’s reverse duplex, bedrooms unusually take the lower level while the kitchen and living room are found upstairs beside a leafy mini-balcony. It’s also rare to find two super king-size beds, and even rarer for a spa-style bathroom to offer natural light with its standalone tub and TV. A minimal Scandi vibe runs throughout the beautiful apartment, incorporating suspended lamps, wall nooks, recycled woods and cacti. Right outside is the villagey Exmouth Market street, famed among Londoners for its superb restaurants.

Concrete Jungle

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.   

A Literary Abode

This penthouse apartment just a stone’s throw from Covent Garden is something of a showstopper. Carefully curated with a keen eye for design, the decor is pared-back chic with a cool London edge that makes it feel wonderfully modern. We love the exposed brick wall in the downstairs living area that adds a trendy warehouse vibe to the proceedings, while the upstairs office nook offers the perfect spot to catch up on work when you’re not out seeing the sights. 

Our favourite spot, however, is the wonderfully sunny roof terrace. With views of the London Eye and the city’s striking skyline, this is the place you’ll want to begin your mornings over a cup of freshly brewed coffee or end evenings with a celebratory drink as you watch the light fade over the capital. 

And while you’ll relish the quietness of your city retreat, you need only step outside to be fully immersed in the heart of the Big Smoke. Wander the cobblestone streets of Covent Garden (a one-minute walk) where you’ll find plenty of high-end boutiques and enticing eateries, or soak up the lively atmosphere of Leicester Square, a six-minute stroll from your door. You’re also a ten-minute walk from Waterloo Bridge that will lead you over to Southbank while the British Museum is a mere twelve minutes away on foot from your home.
