Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Few homes are closer to Covent Garden than this one. Just along a cobbled street from all the restaurants, shops and street performers, it’s a three-floor oasis that even neighbours Paul Smith’s fashion boutique. Things are just as design-focused inside, with Ercol furniture and funky lighting. White-tiled bathrooms and spacious layouts contribute to a restful vibe, one which prolongs on the roof terrace. Accessed by steep steps, the sofas and AstroTurf up here are as escapist as Central London ever gets.

Home truths
This property is in the middle of Covent Garden and it can be slightly noisy – both in terms of street noise, and buskers singing
The heating system isn't the most effective – the upstairs bedrooms can still feel a little chilly
There are several flights of stairs throughout the property. The stairs leading to the rooftop terrace are especially steep and treacherous.
Also, please mind your head exiting onto the roof – the door is shorter than normal.

About Covent Garden
Covent Garden is right in the thick of the action of Central London. It's home to the Royal Opera House, an imposing square packed full of weird and wonderful street performers and the charming Five Dials district, with its independent boutiques and restaurants. It's the perfect place to stay if you're planning on seeing some West End shows, all of which are within easy walking distance. If you want to return to peace and quiet at the end of each day then you might want to look elsewhere!
