5.0

It probably won't come as a surprise to learn that an architect designed and lived in this Bloomsbury apartment. You can see their attention to detail and creativity in every room, whether it's the colourful mural on the wall in one of the bedrooms, the cast copy of Elgin's Marbles in the living room or the striking wood panelling in the kitchen, which was repurposed from the floor of an old school. You can certainly detect a sense of playfulness too, especially with the gregariously gilded mirror and portrait frames contrasted against the stark and simple white walls. However, the meticulous design is only half the reason we fell for this flat. The location is pretty unbeatable, with The British Museum just across the road and the thrills of Soho reachable in ten minutes on foot.

Home truths

    There are only two proper bedrooms so guests five and six would be on a sofa bed in the living area, which has little privacy

    There's no lift in the building, so it might not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility

    The whole apartment building can be booked out, which will accommodate up to twenty-six guests — enquire with the host if this is something you might be interested in

    The street outside can be busy and a little noisy during the day, but this quietens down at nighttime when the museum is closed

About Bloomsbury

Bloomsbury has got it all. Steeped in literary history (this is where Virginia Woolf and her pals used to live), filled with beautiful townhouses and some of the most delightful garden squares in London. It has some great pubs, and is home to one of London's most-loved street of independent shops and restaurants, the utterly charming Lamb's Conduit Street. The British Museum is on your doorstep and Oxford Circus is a ten minute walk away. Need we say more?
