With a prime location in central London, this two-bedroom apartment is designed with Soho's quirks and style in mind. An open-plan kitchen, living room and dining area is a sociable and open space to prepare and eat meals (for the days you're not dining around the area's unparalleled restaurant scene) or whip up a round of drinks to get the night's celebrations under way. Ornate pieces of artwork, hand-crafted coffee tables, and high spec glass doors, wardrobes, and windows, ensure a stay here mirrors the trendy streets of Soho below. Explore the delights of the local area, brimming with shops and boutiques, plus a surplus of restaurants and bars nearby, and the theatres if you're here for a show. Wonderfully positioned, you’re in the heart of a bustling district where the capital city is on your doorstep. Make the most of it, and settle in.

Local guide
About Soho
Though there are still signs of its seedier past if you look hard enough, Soho is now home mainly to affluent young media types most of whom work in the area and who love the period townhouses, history-filled pubs, and buzzing independent restaurant scene. If you want to be in the thick of London's late-night bar scene and rubbing shoulders with London's hippest young things, then you're in the right place. If you want peace and quiet at the end of the day and are a light sleeper then you might want to look elsewhere.
