Hidden away on a serene, traditional mews, just a six-minute stroll from Chancery Lane tube station, this apartment block is a modern city-dweller’s dream. Sip an espresso in an independent coffee shop, then check out cultural offerings like the Charles Dickens Museum (three minutes away), before grabbing a pint of ale in a local English pub. Right in the heart of this urban playground, this home is sleek and sophisticated, taking inspiration from industrial-style decor. We love the soft colour palette of creams and pale pinks, with the light-grey brickwork of the exposed wall offering that urban edge. Three huge windows illuminate this stylish living space, and you can also pop out to the private balcony from here. Take a gin and tonic outdoors while you peruse the city streets below. High-end amenities are standard here – luxurious, hotel-quality linens, rainfall showers, and underfloor heating make this a special stay. While the kitchen has everything you need and more, we recommend taking a nine-minute walk to your local restaurant hotspot – Exmouth Market. This foodies’ paradise is sure to get your taste buds tingling.
