If you're looking for a central base perfect for sightseeing, then this is it. A ten-minute stroll from Covent Garden, the British Museum, Leicester Square, and a Tube station, this is truly the heart of London. Back home, you'll find a comfortable living area with skylights that guarantee natural light. There's a small but functional kitchen, though there are plenty of places to eat out on your doorstep. Just note that two guests will sleep on a sofa bed – better for short stays, but well worth it for the central setting.

About Covent Garden

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.
