Exquisitely eccentric, with a roof terrace overlooking the British Museum, this rare and quirky penthouse is ideal for a family or group of friends who want to be as inspired by their London home as they are by its first-rate Bloomsbury location. Every corner reveals a clever design feature, a stunning work of art, a spectacular mural or a flamboyantly decorated bedroom – the multitude of idiosyncrasies makes this colourful home a real feast for the eyes. Maybe you’ll spend your mornings sipping an espresso on the balcony or perhaps you’ll sprawl out in the trendy living space as the appointed chef of your group knocks up a tasty breakfast in the sleek kitchen. When you’re ready to explore, the best of the city is on your doorstep. You’re a ten-minute walk from the bustling Covent Garden, fifteen minutes to the heart of Soho and twenty-five minutes due east to Smithfield Market. Plus, you’re only a four-minute stroll to Tottenham Court tube station should you wish to tick off London’s thirty-two boroughs.

About Bloomsbury

Bloomsbury has got it all. Steeped in literary history (this is where Virginia Woolf and her pals used to live), filled with beautiful townhouses and some of the most delightful garden squares in London. It has some great pubs, and is home to one of London's most-loved street of independent shops and restaurants, the utterly charming Lamb's Conduit Street. The British Museum is on your doorstep and Oxford Circus is a ten minute walk away. Need we say more?
