Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Located on a peaceful, traditional mews, you could be forgiven for not realising that this home is right in the middle of London. Its location in Bloomsbury, known for its literary connections and charming English heritage, makes this the perfect place for a small group who want to stay in the heart of the city. The home has been recently renovated, and the interior has a thoroughly modern vibe with a slight industrial feel, thanks to the exposed brick and large, black-trimmed windows. You'll love coming home to put your feet up on the huge blue velvet sofa, or cooking in the state-of-the-art kitchen, complete with two ovens and Schulte-Ufer cookware. There's even a little balcony, where you can sip your morning coffee in the fresh air – a true luxury in the centre of the city. Getting around is easy from here, with the British Museum just a fifteen-minute walk away and several independent coffee shops and boutiques to stop off at on the way. A little further along you'll find Oxford Street and, if you want to visit a different part of the city, simply hop on the Tube – Chancery Station is just over five minutes away. Plus, with blackout blinds, sound insulation and underfloor heating, you're virtually guaranteed a great night's sleep.
