Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
We'd be suitably impressed by the clean and contemporary design of this apartment regardless of where it sat on the map, but the fact that it's found right in the very beating heart of London only adds to its allure. Get ready to have all your all preconceptions about central homes banished. Here, there's plenty of natural light from the floor-to-ceiling windows and the stark white walls only lend to this bright ambience. The furnishings and finishes are full of character, and we like the collection of artwork, too. There's no part of the home that feels cramped, especially the kitchen and round dining table which will have you covered if you fancy a night off the local restaurants. However, if cooking isn't on the cards, some of the UK capital's best culinary establishments can be found within footsteps of the front door, as well as an eclectic array of attractions – the Royal Opera House sits less than five minutes away on foot, as does the London Transport Museum and many of London's West End Theatres.

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!
