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. Sadler’s Wells Theatre is also a short walk away, making this a great choice for those visiting London for a show. 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.
