A stone's throw from Covent Garden and Shaftesbury Avenue, this third-floor apartment is the definition of central. You couldn't ask for a better base for sightseeing – most of London's main attractions are a short walk or quick Tube ride away. Back home, there's a vintage living area with a sofa bed for guests three and four. You’ll also find a compact kitchen and a comfortable bedroom here. That said, the star attraction is undoubtedly the terrace. Bursting with potted plants and an outdoor sofa, it's the ideal spot to unwind with a glass of wine in hand and West End views on the horizon.

It's the perfect place to stay if you're planning on seeing some West End shows, all of which are within easy walking distance. If you want to return to peace and quiet at the end of each day then you might want to look elsewhere!
