Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This ornate two-bedroom city home oozes English charm, with a collection of several lifetimes worth of books, ornaments, artefacts and paintings adorning every available nook. The carefully curated attention to detail will have you questioning whether you have mistakenly walked through the door of your immediate neighbour, the British Museum. The blue and white tiling in the kitchen feels like you’ve fallen into a Delftware tea set and we particularly love the green stone fireplace, which among the abundance of antiques, still makes for an impressive focal point of the living room. With direct access from the master bedroom, the tranquil private courtyard with seating for four makes the perfect alfresco breakfast spot before taking to the streets and exploring the city on your doorstep. Goodge Street is your closest tube station by five minutes on foot but being in the middle of Fitzrovia, the shopping of Oxford Street is only a short walk away. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

Local guide
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?
