This home’s collection of artefacts and object d’art could have its own room at the British Museum which, coincidentally, is just across the street. You could spend hours exploring the museum’s collection which spans continents and millennia. Beyond that, the buzzing markets and fine dining scene of Covent Garden is a five-minute walk away. Returning to your museum-like abode, admire the gallery of photography in the hall, and the gilded mirrors and antique cabinets in the living room. At the opposite end of the spectrum, the kitchen and dining area is a sleek space of monochrome precision and Tate Modern style artworks on the walls. This apartment is the perfect mix of modernity where you need it and classic features where you want it.

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.
Explore Foyles
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.
Dine at Hawksmoor Seven Dials
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.
Relax in Soho Square Gardens
Escape the hustle of central London and enjoy a peaceful break in this beautiful park. Whether you want to read a book, have a picnic, or simply soak up the sun, Soho Square Gardens is the perfect spot for individuals and families.
Dine at Circolo Popolare
Indulge in an unforgettable Italian culinary adventure at this opulently decorated restaurant. Impeccable service, vibrant atmosphere, and meticulously crafted dishes will transport you straight to Italy.
Take your pick at Seven Dials Market
Dive into a vibrant food lover's paradise with an eco-friendly twist. Indulge in a variety of international cuisines, from Mexican tacos to Japanese gyozas. Don't miss the lively atmosphere and free water filling station.
