Tucked away down a quiet mews street, this modern apartment is overflowing with contemporary swagger. The open-plan living space makes socialising easy, whether you're watching a film on the cosy sofas or sharing a bottle of wine around the dining table. Cooking is anything but a chore in the bespoke kitchen, with its NEFF appliances and glossy worktops. And, with three lush bedrooms (all with luxe en-suites), everyone will have a private space to retreat to after a long day, and nobody will ever need to queue for the loo. We love how bright it is here, and the sleek design only adds to the roomy feeling. But what we love most is the location. Bloomsbury is known as London's literary hub, so bookworms will be right at home browsing the independent bookstores and following in the footsteps of icons like Virginia Woolf and Charles Dickens. Pick up a coffee from a local cafe as you make your way towards The British Museum, a thirteen-minute walk away, followed by a pint of ale and delicious pub grub at the many traditional taverns nearby. Plus, there are three tube stations within walking distance, so you'll be incredibly well-connected to the rest... of the city.
