This Victorian-era apartment is full of the charm of Central London and fantastically located for capital exploration. It matters not whether you’re an architecture buff, a culture vulture, or a tourist who wants to see the significant landmarks, this comfortable flat is the springboard to the city in Bloomsbury. For a building so Victorian, this immaculate apartment is the epitome of modern style, with everything you’d expect of a 21st Century home. For anyone in town on business, there’s a work desk to sit at and work on a computer, with fast wi-fi to keep you connected. During the day, the large sash windows let in plenty of natural light and give the whole space a bright and open feel. Best of all, you’ll be positioned in the heart of central London, with more sights that we can even list within walking distance.

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?
