Small but perfectly formed, this studio apartment is the perfect base for exploring London, whether you're here for work or for play. You are within walking distance of some of the city's most popular neighbourhoods with great public transportation links too for exploring more of London. You'll find all the essentials you need for a comfortable stay here including some welcome additional touches such as the overhead projector for watching movies in bed. We also love that there's a small dining table here where you can enjoy coffee in the morning, accompanied by pastries bought from one of the nearby bakeries.
