Everything around this part of town is done with a touch of class, and this sleek apartment in Holborn is no different. The oh-so-trendy interior is decidedly swish, mirroring the sophisticated streets below. What’s the best way of exploring its cobbled avenues and sunny squares, we hear you ask? Well, whether you’re browsing local markets at Leather Lane or dining out at high-end restaurants – a stay at this chic home will find you within easy walking distance of the delights of the area. And if you’re planning to catch a show while in town, the West End lies a short twenty-minute tube ride away. Speaking of the stage, the living room hosts a striking collection of vintage theatre programmes that catch the eye. With soothing tones of blue and grey, glass and stone coffee tables, a comfy sofa, quirky artwork and plenty of curated plants, the open-plan living space is stylish yet relaxed. When you’re not out fine dining or discovering the quaint cafes and bakeries around Holborn, rustle up drinks and snacks in the kitchen featuring a sociable granite breakfast bar. It’s an ideal spot for eating together, playing games, and mapping out a day of sightseeing. Ensure you bookend any long day wandering the big smoke with a couple of sundown cocktails on your private balcony. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.
