White Venetian shutters burst open and light floods this elegantly decorated apartment. With a Scandinavian influence, this home is effortlessly chic with touches of mid-century inspired furniture and tall gallery-white walls. You have everything you need for a comfortable stay, whether you’re in London for work or play, with a coffee machine to perk you up and Netflix to wind you down. Best of all – the location. You’re a mere three minutes away from the closes tube station by foot, the convenience of which is unparalleled for exploring London or for heading to meetings. Hop on the tube and find yourself in many of London’s hotspots within twenty minutes. Including the famous London Eye, which is just a thirteen-minute journey on the tube and an absolute must-see when in the city. The tube is famously convenient, but in this apartment, everything you need is right on your doorstep. Spend a day wandering around Leicester Square, get there on a good day and you may even bump into stars at a film premiere or two. Then, the fashionable Carnaby Street is right around the corner at just eleven minutes by foot. The beating heart of London’s fashion scene is great for getting... some style inspiration and picking up a new outfit for the night ahead. If you want to go slightly further afield and explore the bustling government area, Westminster is within easy reach at a twenty-eight minute walk away. Come dinnertime, you’re bound to be hungry after all of that walking. Dinner at Chinatown is always a good idea, plus it’s right on your doorstep – literally a minute walk from home! Soak up the atmosphere and enjoy great food before heading to Soho, an eight-minute walk away, for a night out on the town.

Local guide
About The West End
The West End is about as central as it gets, hundreds of restaurants and bars on your doorstep and you might even see the lights of Shaftesbury Avenue (London's Broadway) blinking through your curtains. It's certainly conveniently located for flopping into bed after seeing a show, but be warned you will be sharing the area with quite a lot of tourists and you won't find many proper Londoners or signs...
