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.
