You’ll find this streamlined apartment in the heart of Clerkenwell, just over a fifteen-minute walk from the British Museum and five minutes from the bustling Leather Lane Market. Whether you’re staying for a while or just a weekend, the place has everything you need to feel right at home, from a well-appointed kitchen to a handy welcome pack with essentials to get you started. Just so you know, there’s not enough seating for a group of six at the dining table, but with endless restaurants on the doorstep, we think you’ll be eating out most of the time anyway.

You can't beat it. Shops, restaurants, and cafes – it's all within walking distance here. And with Underground stations an easy stroll away, you'll be well-connected to the rest of the city, too.

A stylish, state-of-the-art home set on a serene mews street in Bloomsbury, this two-bedroom apartment is the perfect choice for anyone looking for a peaceful corner that's close to the action. The interior is decorated in a mid-century-meets-industrial style, with Crittall-style windows and doors, a minimalist kitchen and elegant furniture that's sure to appeal to the style-conscious. It's a theme that continues into the bedrooms, with exposed brick walls, ample built-in storage and an opulent en-suite attached to the master bedroom. One of the joys of Bloomsbury is that pretty much everything is within walking or cycling distance. There are plenty of hidden gems tucked away down backstreets and side alleys, too, including plenty of classic English pubs, cool coffee shops and a collection of lesser-known museums. Elsewhere, the nearby Brunswick Centre has an assortment of shops, an arthouse cinema and a Waitrose for stocking up on essentials. There's also plenty of green space nearby at Russell Square, Gray's Inn Gardens and Coram's Fields. Finally, the bars and restaurants of Clerkenwell and Exmouth Market are within a ten-minute walk, while Covent Garden and Soho are slightly further afield. If you don't fancy walking, or the weather isn't playing ball, Chancery Lane and Farringdon stations are around ten minutes from your front door.

Staying in Hampstead means staying in one of London’s leafiest, most peaceful, and opulent neighbourhoods. This home is just a three-minute walk from the lush greenery of Hampstead Heath, where you can swim in natural pools, head to the striking viewpoint at Parliament Hill, or simply lose yourself in the dappled light of the walking trails. In a majestic red-brick building that feels quintessentially English, this charming garden flat is the perfect base for discovering the delights of your locale. Inside, the modern decor feels understated and pretty zen overall, but you’ll find quirky little touches like colourful, graphic artwork and funky fringed cushions. But our favourite spot has to be the outdoor space. Enclosed by a wooden fence with ivy flowing over the edges, this wooden patio feels like a secret garden escape. Sip a gin and tonic as you wait for the barbecue to heat up – you could even lie back in the hammock and close your eyes for a minute... If you do fancy a day out of elegant West London, take an eight-minute walk to Hampstead tube station and explore the city with ease. 

Ivy & Moss

This modern apartment is a great base in London. It’s located in Marylebone Village, just a five-minute walk from Marylebone High Street and four minutes from pretty Regent’s Park. There are plenty of restaurants, cafes, and pubs nearby, and you’ll have four tube stations in the vicinity. The apartment is luxurious and chic, with high-end furnishings and a bright open-concept layout. Two guests can be accommodated on sofa beds in the living space. 


The Marylebone Mews

You'll find this apartment in the heart of Marylebone, just a ten-minute walk from Regent's Park. As far as locations go, you can't beat it. The village-like high street is lined with cafes, shops, and eateries, or you can hop on a train at Baker Street Station to explore further afield. After your adventures, you'll have everything you need to relax at home – from a sleek kitchen to cosy bedrooms. The living area isn't the biggest, so all six guests may find it a squeeze. There's also a sofa bed for two people, but we think it'd be more comfortable for one.

Sage Silhouettes

Desk

This attractive apartment is a great choice of base in London, whether you’re in the city for business or leisure. It’s in Shoreditch, on lively Old Street, with a wealth of restaurants, bars, and cafes nearby. It’s also a hotspot for shopping, theatre, and galleries. With its modern amenities, this loft-style apartment is a comfortable home-from-home, though at full occupancy, four guests will sleep in the living and dining space – two on the sofa bed, and two in a king-size bed. We’d stick to a guest count of four if you're seeking more privacy. 

Old Street Oasis

Luxury Toiletries

Housed in an architecturally striking building in the heart of industrial chic Clerkenwell, this handsome apartment puts you in an ideal position to explore all that this quarter of Central London affords, as well as the delights of nearby Farringdon, Holborn and Old Street.
 
Inside, wood floors and minimalist, contemporary decor set a stylish scene in the bright open-plan living area that gets plenty of light from the glass doors leading out onto a private balcony. Start mornings here with a cup of fresh coffee as you enjoy the calm of your leafy neighbourhood and toast to a good day had over sundowners each evening. The wooden table beckons sociable soirées over homecooked feasts when you’re not out discovering the local restaurant scene, while the pair of comfortable bedrooms beckon a peaceful night’s sleep. 
 
When it comes to exploring nearby, you’ve got a wealth of cultural hotspots from which to choose, including The Postal Museum (an eight-minute walk), the Charles Dickens Museum (a twelve-minute walk), as well as the British Museum and the London Museum (both a twenty-minute walk). You’re also a twenty-minute stroll from the Brutalist Barbican Centre, while the mouth-watering food stalls of Smithfield Market are ten minutes away on foot. 


The Clerkenwell Stallion 

Situated on a unique crescent-shaped street of Victorian homes – this apartment in Kings Cross is a great find. There’s an array of restaurants, bars and boutiques at nearby Granary Square and Coal Drops Yard, or have a stroll along the canal close by. The apartment itself has been featured in a variety of films and advertisements and takes its inspiration from a collection of artists and intellectuals known as the Bloomsbury Group. The highlight for us though is the pretty courtyard garden – the perfect spot for reading a book.

Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

Crescent of Roses

Safe

This elegant apartment boasts a splendid setting in central London, just a short walk from King’s Cross. It’s ideal for a family, a group of friends, or business travellers – you’ll have everything you need for a comfortable stay. This apartment is stylish and practical, with an integrated kitchen in the open-plan living and dining space. There’s also a wraparound balcony where you can admire London skyline views in warm weather. This attractive London home is perfect for those seeking a restful London base. 

Subtle & Soft

Espresso Machine

When it comes to London neighbourhoods, some visitors are guilty of overlooking Farringdon, which is a pretty big sin in our books — not only is it excellently located between the bright lights of the city centre and the trendier East, but it's full of exciting restaurants, interesting museums and industrial architecture. It's also home to effortlessly cool apartments, such as this one.

In the open-concept living-kitchen area, light flows through the space thanks to windows on either end. The design is definitely Scandi in influence — clock the clean lines and preference for wood surfaces — but the abstract artwork stops it from feeling too identikit. Rather pleasingly for a home for two, the cobalt kitchen has a wealth of sleek surface space for whipping up romantic dinners, while the pristinely tiled bathroom has a tub that will surely sing to you after a long day on your feet.

Although the surrounding neighbourhood has a welcomingly quiet residential feel, some of the UK capital's most famous sights are only a short walk away — both The British Museum and St Paul's Cathedral will take you all of twenty minutes to reach.

Man About Town

Swimming Pool

Wellness & Fitness

This stylish apartment has a prestigious location in Shoreditch, in a landmark building designed by the renowned architects Foster + Partners. We love the ensuite bathroom, beautifully finished with marble. The open-plan living space is flooded with lots of natural light with large windows overlooking London. However, the absolute highlights here for us are the indoor lap pool and spa – perfect for relaxing after a busy day. There's also a residents' lounge, a state-of-the-art gym, and a cinema, so there's plenty to keep you occupied.

If all this wasn't enough, this home has a fabulous address. It's a twelve-minute walk to East London Tech City, otherwise known as Silicon Roundabout, while Spitalfields Market is a four-minute saunter. With its public gardens, bars, and restaurants, Hoxton Square is a seven-minute wander, or art lovers can head to the Barbican Arts Centre, seventeen minutes away on foot. 




City Vistas

Rooftop Terrace

The famous Camden Town is bursting with character, energy and charisma – and this deluxe penthouse is situated right in the centre. Just a couple of minutes from the market and lock, it's expertly placed to explore the vibrant suburb.

Of course, there is much more to London than Camden. The northern line on the underground leads to central London in less than ten minutes, giving you access to the city's main attractions. 

Enjoy lunch at one of the numerous high-class restaurants, visit the bustling Oxford Street for world-class shopping or meander around the museums for a touch of history. For those of you with a penchant for the arts, many galleries rest in the centre and Soho is shaped by an abundance of theatres. 

We'd usually suggest visiting one of the many pretty rooftop bars in the summer, but you have your own dreamy terrace back at the flat. Whilst you're out, collect a glass of champagne to sip on the rooftop, lit by the luminous tones of sunset.

If you fancy a cosy night-in, the flat caters to low-key evenings. The TV comes with Netflix and the open-plan living space is perfect for social nights with your favourite people.

Rooftop Locks

This Paddington apartment has space to work from home and excellent transport links across the city. It's a great find for business travellers, though families and friend groups will also feel right at home. Keep in mind that the living space is on the smaller side, and it's on the third floor of a building without a lift. Even so, given the location – a five-minute walk from Paddington Station and twenty minutes from Hyde Park – we think that's a fair compromise.

The Paddington Pick

Sitting on the second floor of a walk-up period building in Bloomsbury, this bright apartment not only provides views over charming Queen Square Gardens but also puts you in a central spot from which to explore the city. The British Museum, the Charles Dickens Museum and the British Library are all within walking distance, while the nearby transport links will whisk you to the buss of Soho and beyond in no time. Inside the home, modern decor and plenty of natural light are nice touches. And the extendable window-side table can easily double as a remote workspace if you’re visiting the city for business.

Located just a minute’s walk from Oxford Street’s parade of shops, this stylish apartment is the perfect base for those wishing to experience the vibrancy of Central London.  We love how this home mirrors its elegant, upscale surroundings – chic touches like a velvet sofa in the living room and dusky blue floral wallpaper in the hall amp up the luxe feel of this home while natural light streams in from the windows overlooking charming James Street. Pour yourself a glass of wine to enjoy on the balcony or while seated on one of the armchairs – a good book in hand – or gather together for a celebratory feast at the chic dining table. The plush beds with their luxurious bedding are made for sinking into after a long day of work or sightseeing. Unless that is, you'd rather sink into some bubbles first – with large soaking tubs, how could you not? Outside of your home, Hyde Park beckons long afternoon ambles a ten-minute walk away, while the bright lights of the West End promise unforgettable theatre and entertainment, twenty-five minutes on foot from your door.

Baby Bath

Balcony / Patio

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. 

Russell the Great

Location, location location. It doesn't get much better than this central spot in the heart of Soho's China Town. Bustling with vibrancy, incredible shopping and an endless array of tantalising food spots – the London lifestyle comes easy here. With so much going on within the walking vicinity, this apartment provides the ideal base to discover the very best of what the city has to offer without having to sacrifice all of your home luxuries. Sumptuous interiors on the backdrop of moody black walls set the scene for a sophisticated stay in central London. A modern aesthetic ensures comfort and practicality throughout, while the open-plan layout presents a sociable space to enjoy together. It's the perfect nest for a couple or pair of friends to cosy up in after a day out in the city. Hang out around the kitchen island while cooking in the expansive kitchen – a gin and tonic can never go a miss. Or head out in the evening time to experience London's nightlife, with Soho, Covent Garden and Picadilly Circus within a few minutes walking distance you'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing where to eat and drink.

This three-bedroom flat is perfect for a family or group of friends. The spacious living room has a large sofa and a flat-screen TV, while the kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to cook a home-cooked meal. The bedrooms are all well-appointed and have plenty of storage space. The flat is located in the heart of Farringdon, just a short walk from the tube station and all the shops and restaurants you could need.

When you’re staying just six minutes from King’s Cross Station, the bustling travel hub of London, you might not expect to find serenity. However, this Georgian maisonette defies all expectations, offering a luxurious and calm spot with elegant and original decor. From rich, hardwood flooring and cabinets, to chic hanging lamps and art adorning the walls, a rustic versus modern contrast is present throughout. While we love the interior details, an outdoor area in the city centre is a rare feature that’s hard to ignore. With not one but two separate spaces for entertaining, enjoy an Earl Grey in the morning, and move on to a glass of fine English sparkling wine by dusk. As if exploring the gorgeous home and grounds wasn’t enough, your host has some extra surprises. Indoors, find your very own 4K projector and sound system for a luxury movie night. Outside, find a barbecue and even an outdoor heater for winter nights. If you muster up the courage to leave your peaceful palace, head seven minutes over the canal to Granary Square and Coal Drops Yard. For foodies and shoppers alike, this recently redeveloped area has beautifully renovated buildings housing cocktail bars, artisan markets, and high-end restaurants.

A Piece of Heaven

Sleek, shiny and kitted out with all the bells and whistles, this modern apartment is just the ticket for a stay in the Big Smoke. Built-in speakers, a luxe rainfall shower, large windows in the open-plan living space – this pad has it all. Sprawl out on the L-shaped sofa as you rest your feet, then knock together something delicious in the glossy grey kitchen. The private balcony is our favourite spot – on summer days, retreat out there with a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine and soak up the sun. Although Camden is more cool than chic, we think it's an excellent base for exploring. There's something for everyone – an array of eateries with cuisines from all around the world, the famous market selling vintage goods (a ten-minute walk), beloved music venues and pubs if you fancy a night out and paths along the canal perfect for leisurely afternoon strolls. Plus, with Camden Road Overground right down the street and Camden Town Station a seven-minute walk away, getting around the rest of London is a breeze.

Seize The Day

Not only is this Fitzrovia apartment super stylish, but it's also super central. You'll find it just a short walk from Regent's Park, close to Great Portland Street Underground and the neighbourhood's many coffee shops and pubs. When you're not taking advantage of the excellent location, make yourself comfortable back home. Light fills the living area, creating a chic spot to relax after sightseeing. You can easily rustle up a meal in the kitchen – and thanks to the open-plan design, you won't miss a beat of conversation either. Right in the heart of London, it offers everything you need for a convenient, fuss-free stay.

Cream & Gold

 Boasting an unparalleled location on London’s iconic Shaftesbury Avenue – home to some of the capital’s most famous West End theatres – this comfortable top-floor apartment puts you in the heart of Central London’s action, with countless opportunities for shopping and entertainment on your doorstep. 
 
Inside, wood floors, contemporary furnishings and large windows that give way to Theatreland views create a welcoming first impression in the open-plan living area. Kick back on the plump sofa with a glass of wine while watching the twinkling lights dance around the Sondheim Theatre, or sit down to an intimate meal when you’re not out sampling the area’s varied and vibrant food scene. 
 
The two bedrooms, meanwhile, are pared-back spaces offering London rooftop views, as well as snuggly beds you’ll relish retreating to at the end of a busy day of sightseeing. 
 
Speaking of exploring, you’re spoilt for choice with things to see and do nearby.  Choose one of the Shaftesbury Avenue theatres in which to enjoy a glittering show (the famous Sondheim Theatre is a one-minute walk away) or get a bite to eat in Chinatown, just across the road. You’re also a five-minute walk from Leicester Square, a seven-minute stroll from Soho, while Covent Garden’s restaurants and high-end boutiques are eight minutes away on foot.

Gated Community

Bright, artsy and full of characterful design pieces, this townhouse in Hackney is an ideal base for those looking to explore one of London’s quirkier, hip neighbourhoods. Inside, bespoke pieces of art abound with countless books and board games to enjoy in the open-plan living space. Open up the bi-fold doors to step out onto a plant-filled courtyard garden. This is the ideal spot to catch some rays over your morning coffee or toast to your cool, serene pad over sundowners and a barbecue come nightfall. The kitchen, meanwhile, looks like a piece of art in its own right with its artisan breakfast bar, while the long wooden dining room table calls for feasts aplenty amidst its collection of curios and portraits. Upstairs, the master bedroom is a masterclass in pared-back style with letterbox windows proffering leafy views and huge glass doors that lead out onto a private balcony. Factor in the beautiful, unique vanity and the wicker peacock chair and you’ll see this room is made for pure relaxation. With an equally pretty second bedroom and a boudoir-style master bathroom whose tub invites long soaks with a glass of bubbly after a day of sightseeing, you’ll be settling into the laid-back Hackney lifestyle in no time. Speaking of exploring, take afternoon strolls through leafy London Fields (a one-minute walk away) where a public basketball court and a lido offer a range of leisurely pursuits, while beautiful Victoria Park is only twelve minutes away on foot, Netil Market is a six-minute walk where food and craft stalls wait to be discovered and Regent’s Canal is nine minutes from your door. With plenty of restaurants, waterside pubs and independent shops to explore nearby as well, you’ve got everything you need for a good time.


Art Fields

Located in the heart of London, this fuss-free apartment is perfect for exploring the city. You'll find it in Fitzrovia, a stone's throw from Oxford Circus, Soho, and Covent Garden. Restaurants and pubs abound in the area, and there's a Tube station a short walk away for travelling across town. Back home, the design is somewhat simplistic but has everything you need. You can whip up a meal in the sleek kitchen, watch a Netflix movie in the living area, or retreat to the bedrooms for a good night's sleep. A sofa bed will accommodate two guests, too.

It's All Goodge

Paid Parking

Bursting with sunlight and high ceilings, this apartment is a real gem. It's set on the first floor of a Grade II-listed building, offering more than enough space for a couple. Stacked bookshelves provide entertainment when you're not out and about, while the dining table by the sash window makes a great spot to work from home. As for location, you'll be based on a tree-lined street in leafy Islington. Shops, pubs and cafes on Upper Street are a five-minute walk away. Or, for adventures further afield, Highbury and Islington Station is less than ten minutes on foot.

A central London stay doesn’t get much more sleek and stylish than this one. Sitting pretty on one of London’s most famous squares – so perfect they named it Golden – this modern home is just a hop, skip, and a jump from the bars and restaurants of Soho, the bright lights of Piccadilly Circus, and the theatres of Shaftesbury Avenue. In fact, when staying in this fairytale apartment, you’re within walking distance of pretty much the best London has to offer. The home itself is beautifully decorated – it’s all sharp corners, sleek design, luxurious furnishings, and the odd jewel tone or pastel pop for a spot of colour and character. The owners have also filled the apartment with original art, lending the home a more personal touch that just can’t be replicated. Plus a dedicated concierge service means there’s no need to worry about anything during your stay here. 

Fairytale Boulevard

With leafy gardens, Georgian architecture, and literary connections, Highgate Village is the place to be for nature and history lovers. For the arts, this home is just an eleven-minute stroll to Highgate Contemporary Art Gallery, while Jacksons Lane Arts Centre is a cultural hub two minutes from your door. Dickens and Byron frequented the taverns around here, but there are still plenty of gastro pubs and restaurants for those with modern tastes – as well as this apartment. 

Behind the traditional red-brick Victorian facade of the building, you’ll be surprised at the contrast. Your chic living space features ghost chairs and glass tabletops, with high ceilings and an understated colour palette creating a feeling of zen. But original features have not been forgotten – we love the large period windows that allow light to flood in, as well as the ornate fireplace with carved ironwork and antique ceramic tiles.

After a few glasses of English sparkling wine on the mid-century sofa, it might be time for a lie-down. In soothing neutral colour schemes, and with views of lush foliage, both bedrooms have a calming ambience. You can’t beat a peaceful night's sleep after an evening of culture and cocktails in this tranquil region of North London.

Tucked away in an enviable spot near Hyde Park, this apartment delivers comfort and ease in a fantastic location. You can enjoy impressive views from the private balcony and the living room is just as inviting thanks to the open-plan layout. There’s a Nespresso machine, a wine fridge and all the essentials you could need to get you started. Outside, you can still to Paddington Station – ensuring quick connections with the rest of the city. It’s also possible to walk to Oxford Street so you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to shops, restaurants and cafes. 

Urban Wonder

This Chancery Lane apartment is close to Covent Garden, Leicester Square, and the theatres of the West End. Easy public transport adds to the convenience of this home, making it a splendid base for families and couples looking for a stress-free base in London. The apartment is in a Grade II listed building so boasts historic features including high ceilings, and also has all the modern amenities you might need for a comfortable stay. 

Chancery Charm

Enjoy a relaxing weekend escape exploring the trendy area of East London, follow the narrow boats and the smell of hand roasted coffee through street art and beards on bicycles. Have your La La moment on the piano and enjoy the balcony. 

The East Branch

Step into the wizarding world at this home tucked down the narrow lane that inspired Diagon Alley. Harry Potter fans will adore the magical memorabilia scattered about – it's understated but adds to the charm. It's not the biggest home, but having four floors gives the impression of extra space. There's also a sofa bed for guests five and six, but we reckon it's a better fit for four. The street is a popular stop for tour groups, so you'll get passersby on your doorstep. But, with Covent Garden, Leicester Square, and Soho all within strolling distance, we think that’s a worthwhile trade.

Magical Moments

Combining the comforts of home with the luxuries of a boutique hotel, this light-filled apartment in Hampstead is a treat for those looking to stay in a quiet corner of the city. Just a one minute walk from Hampstead Heath, there’s a calm serenity to the quintessentially English road this home is located on, a peacefulness that’s felt from the moment you walk through the door. Whether you’re snuggled up on the sofa with a cup of tea in the skylit living room or kicking back on the leafy patio with a glass of wine at sunset, you’ll feel relaxed as you ease into the slow pace of life of this nature-filled neighbourhood. With two elegant bedrooms providing a dreamy night’s sleep and rainfall showers to wake up to each morning, you’ll be all set for a day of walking and sightseeing. Climb to the top of Parliament Hill (a ten-minute walk away) for incredible views over London, take a dip in the heath’s famous bathing ponds (twenty minutes on foot) or explore iconic Abbey Road and Primrose Hill, both just thirty minutes on foot from your door. 


Home Sweet Heath

Doorman

Hot off the press, this apartment is a short stroll from Fleet Street. The Strand, the River Thames, the Royal Courts of Justice and the London School of Economics, along with the Tate Modern and the British Museum, are within walking distance too. Such an excellent location will mean this home will be subject to some city noise, but that's to be expected. Once a place for textile dying in the 15th century, this newly refurbished apartment, with a private lift, sits within an exclusive Victorian development. There's plenty of room for entertaining in the spacious open-plan living space, and if you need to work from home, the large dining table doubles up as a laptop workspace.

Victorian Gem

This home stands proudly above adjacent buildings and casts an imposing shadow on the street below, famous for its upmarket gentlemen's outfitters – with your downstairs neighbour being a traditional shoe shop. The whole area has a classy and traditional London vibe, so upon entering this grand building, you might be surprised by the interiors of the flat. Sleek white fixtures and fittings, monochrome photography prints, honey-coloured flooring, and a neutral colour palette are a welcome contrast to the buzz of nearby Piccadilly. Sip an Earl Grey on the balcony as you look out over the city centre from your vantage point. The plush bedrooms also feature French doors or large windows with views – it’s a city that deserves to be seen. You should be able to spot St James's Church at Piccadilly, right across the street. As it’s well known for its classical music programme, why not stop in for a lunchtime concert? Then on to St James’s Square, where you can unwind in elegant and peaceful formal gardens. For the evening, the glitzy restaurants of Mayfair are calling. You won’t even need to hail a black cab, as it’s only a ten-minute walk away.


Durward Charm

DVD Player

Located just a one-minute walk from London’s iconic Oxford Street, this home is perfect for those who want to experience the true buzz of the city. Catch a glimpse of the hustle and bustle below from the living room’s tall windows, and relish the calm of your bright, modern pad. Splashes of colour make the main room feel welcoming, with art prints, textured cushions and a funky purple chair that’s perfect for starting your day in with a cup of freshly made coffee. The bedrooms, too, are full of artistic flair with the master boasting quirky stag head ornaments and the second bedroom decked out in full London regalia. Spend the day indulging in some retail therapy on Regent Street (a twelve-minute walk) and Oxford Street, stroll along Hyde Park’s leafy paths (a ten-minute walk) and catch a show at a West End theatre (a twenty-five-minute walk). You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to restaurants and bars in the area too, but we wouldn’t blame you for wanting to pass up a night on the town for a chilled-out evening at home. Gather together around the dining table to enjoy a meal with city views, enjoy a luxurious bath, then kick back and unwind on the plump sofa, a glass of wine in hand. 

The Smart Set

Plant yourself right in the middle of London’s greatest entertainment district for a first-hand experience of this cultural capital. Minutes away from the famous Leicester Square, Piccadilly Circus, and Soho, what's a morning commute on the tube at rush hour compared to stepping straight out onto the lively high street? This is city living at its most literal. No trip is made too difficult and no sight need to be left unticked off your bucket list. Whilst there is so much fun to be had outside, this flat does not neglect the idea that work may still call. A big dining table allows you to dedicate some workspace to answer those all-important emails and a coffee machine is ready and set up to keep you energised. Spanning the length of the stylish monochrome-tinged living space, large glass windows can be opened up and bring the city up to you, with the faint buzz of pedestrians bustling down below. Its modern and chic design, sporting clean black lines, white cabinets, and splashes of colour truly offers the metropolitan lifestyle of an archetypal, young professional here in the big city. 

Central Walkabout

This mews-style serviced home is tucked in behind Marylebone High Street, where you’ll find a litany of indie boutiques, coffee shops and restaurants. The bustling thoroughfare of Regent Street is less than ten minutes on foot, and the green expanse of Regent’s Park is fifteen minutes in the other direction. Back at the house, a 24-hour concierge is on hand to provide restaurant reservations (there are plenty in the area), sightseeing suggestions, chauffeurs, and in-room dining if you don’t feel like cooking. Though the full kitchen takes care of any self-catering needs if you prefer a little independence. The living room is set around a modern fireplace, adding a touch of cosiness to the place, and there’s a separate study if you need a quiet moment to think. True to any mews house, this place comes with a private parking garage. 


Bentinck Mews

If you want to be surrounded by many of the capital's top museums, theatres, galleries, shops and restaurants, then this apartment in Great Russell Street could be ideal.
