Sitting on the second floor of a walk-up period building in Bloomsbury, this bright apartment not only provides views over charming Queen Square Gardens but also puts you in a central spot from which to explore the city. The British Museum, the Charles Dickens Museum and the British Library are all within walking distance, while the nearby transport links will whisk you to the buss of Soho and beyond in no time. Inside the home, modern decor and plenty of natural light are nice touches. And the extendable window-side table can easily double as a remote workspace if you’re visiting the city for business.

Home truths
This home is only accessible via stairs. It may not be suitable for those with reduced mobility.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair. You'll need to request them in advance.
Given the home's central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
This home was purpose-built for rentals, so it's not the most soulful space.
If you're travelling for work, you won't find a dedicated desk here. However, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace.
We recommend skipping the car here and exploring London on foot or by public transport instead.

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?

Go Bowling at All Star Lanes
