There is possibly no better spot for exploring London, with Soho, Chinatown and Carnaby Street right on your doorstep, you'll be practically tripping over boutique shops, typical English pubs and fabulous international eateries from this smart apartment. Inside, it's an oasis of calm, where thoughtful touches like curated house plants and vintage style furniture create a homely feel from the get-go. Modern and bright, it's a delight to spend time in – if you can drag yourself away from the many attractions within walking distance. The kitchen comes fully equipped and if you're here on business there's wifi and a coffee machine to help you power on through. Leicester Square and Piccadilly Circus tube stations are just a short stroll away, so the whole city really is your oyster – cliché, we know.

Local guide
About The West End
The West End is about as central as it gets, hundreds of restaurants and bars on your doorstep and you might even see the lights of Shaftesbury Avenue (London's Broadway) blinking through your curtains. It's certainly conveniently located for flopping into bed after seeing a show, but be warned you will be sharing the area with quite a lot of tourists and you won't find many proper Londoners or signs...
