Sitting proudly in an elegant 19th century townhouse in one of the most sought after locations in Central London – this is an unbeatable option for a couple or solo traveller looking to be in a supremely central spot. It's a mere eight-minute walk from Victoria station, while Buckingham Palace is under a twenty-minute stroll. The apartment itself has a welcoming feel that makes the space feel like a true home from home. Equal parts fantastic pad and amazing host – guests have access to a complimentary well-stocked bar, (yes you did read that right), and if that wasn't enough there are a selection of gourmet goodies for you to enjoy as well. If you fancy some green space, then head to the private garden square opposite and take a picnic. There's even a free private car service for those staying for seven nights or more. Your host here has truly thought of everything – all you have to do is drop your bags, pour a drink of your choice and relax.
