Situated in a traditional mews, this stylish apartment is in a prime spot for exploring. The British Museum lies a thirteen-minute walk away, while the independent bookstores and green squares in Bloomsbury can also be reached on foot. Even better, three different tube stations within walking distance make travelling around London easy, and with a charming array of pubs, restaurants and cafes on your doorstep, this is truly an excellent location. After a long day out and about in London, come home and unwind in the cosy living area. Kick off your shoes and sink into the plush velvet sofa – it's so soft, you'll never want to get up – or let your culinary skills run wild in the bespoke kitchen, equipped with NEFF appliances and plenty of prep space. Juliet balconies on the windows mean that you'll feel the fresh breeze on your skin in the summer, while the two sumptuous bedrooms promise an excellent night's sleep.
