You only have to look at the number of rooftop bars in the UK's capital to see how much Londoners love being up among the city's iconic skyline and this Chinatown apartment lets you get in on the fun. Here, guests get access to a private terrace with plenty of seating so you can kick back and relax above the hustle and bustle of Soho below. The interior of this home is equally impressive in our books. Quirky artwork and house plants add pops of colour against the stark white walls in the living space and bedrooms, while the honeycomb-tiled bathrooms are as sleek as they come, too. There's a spacious minimalist kitchen and a chic glass dining table, but given the location and the countless restaurants that in the locale, we wouldn't be surprised if these remain unused. As well as plenty of places to eat, the main row of West End theatres on Shaftesbury Avenue sits at the top of the street, while Leicester Square and its cinemas are three minutes' walk in the other direction.

Home truths
This apartment's on the second floor of a converted townhouse and has no elevator, so it might not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility
Chinatown is very busy and can noisy, however, the windows are double-glazed so you shouldn't hear much noise
The home doesn't come with an allocated parking space, although there's a car park three minutes' drive around the corner — the local area is also very well served for underground stations, including Picadilly Circus four minutes' walk away

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...
