Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
You’ll find this Tardis-like apartment in the heart of London – but from the relative peace and quiet of lovely Lambs Conduit Street, you’d hardly know it. It's mere minutes away from Russell Square and the famous British Museum, while a short saunter will bring you to the hustle and bustle of Soho and Oxford Street. With its soothing colour palette, and this apartment provides a welcome relief from the buzz of the capital. Spread over two floors, we love how bright and light-filled the living area is, while the terrace is the perfect peaceful spot for an afternoon cup of tea, or an evening glass of wine. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.
