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.

Local guide
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?

Visit the British Museum
Now this is rare - one of the greatest archives of human history less than 5 mins from your home. Find the stone, befriend the dead, explore the past and admire the power of this legendary space.
See The Arts Come Alive At The Royal Opera House
This magnificent building has been home to the Royal Opera and Royal Ballet for several hundred years. After a few fires, the building has changed a bit, but is still one of the best venues in town.
Enjoy a Bombay breakfast at Dishoom
Seriously, Dishoom does the best breakfasts, ever. Wash it down with some special masala chai. Breathtaking.
Get tickets for a West End Performance
The West End is home to some of the most iconic theatres in history, such as The Theatre Royal, the legendary Palace Theatre, the Savoy or the Criterion.
Chill out on Russell Square
This small park sits in the middle of all the action, so is a great place to sit and people watch. You may even be lucky to catch the local Hari Krishnas in action.
Burger & Fries Heaven at Five Guys
We are all for local restaurants, however, being so close and extremely delicious, we recommend Five Guys for Hamburgers made from scratch in front of you. Attention, addiction danger!
Try the ramen at kanada-ya
It's easy to spot the place with a large queue of people from every continent. Some of the best ramen in London. The wait is completely justifiable.

A vast, multi-genre bookstore spread over 5 floors with a beautiful manga section, foreign language books, and a friendly staff. Enjoy a cozy cafe for a break.

Indulge in incredible steaks, delicious Sunday Roasts, and the famous sticky toffee pudding. With a fancy yet down-to-earth atmosphere, this restaurant delivers on both taste and ambiance.
