Once Westminster's Fire Brigade Station, this smart bolthole's Grade II listed Edwardian exteriors make quite the first impression. As does the communal courtyard gardens that greet you as you step inside – it's an unexpected and welcome perk for a home this central. While we can't fault the contemporary interiors, the views from the boutique-style bedroom aren't the best, and the living and kitchen space is pocket-sized. But with a fine-dining Indian restaurant on-site for easy meals, we don't think you'll mind. Set within strolling distance of Westminster's hotspots, including Westminster Hall and Big Ben, and just a four-minute walk from St James's Park Tube, the location is unbeatable.

Home truths
The entrance, lift access and communal gardens are shared with the building's other residents.
A concierge is available each weekday from 9am to 5pm. Outside these hours and on weekends, a member of the host team will greet you at check-in.
The kitchen is compact and better suited to prepping lighter bites than large meals.
There’s air-con in the kitchen and living room but not in the bedroom or bathroom.
The views from the apartment aren’t overly inspiring.
The apartment faces an internal courtyard, so while you won’t be disturbed by street noise, you may hear people passing by from time to time. Light sleepers might want to pack earplugs.

Local guide
About Westminster
Wesminster is home to two of London's most famous landmarks: The Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, both of which sit proudly on the river's edge. It is the centre of the country's political life, and so, perhaps unsurprisingly, it isn't London's hippest area - you'll be sharing the pavements with a mix of politicians and selfie-stick-wielding tourists. What it lacks in local colour or character, it makes up for in location - it's a great base for exploring nearby St James' s Park, Buckingham Palace, Mayfair, Trafalgar Square and beyond.
