Sitting within the heart of Fitzrovia and just a three-minute walk from the hustle and bustle of Oxford Street, this bright apartment puts you in an ideal spot to experience the best of Central London. With its wood floors, contemporary decor, and many large windows, you’ll have no trouble making yourself at home here. Perch on the sofa with a glass of bubbly as you people-watch from your second-floor vantage point or enjoy an intimate soirée at the window-side table – your host can arrange private dining for you too. The bedroom is a stylish retreat with bold pops of colour in its art and soft furnishings, while the sparkling metro-tiled bathroom is sure to get any day off on a relaxing foot with its luxurious rainfall shower. When it comes to exploring nearby, the city really is at your feet with countless points of cultural and historic interest within easy walking distance. Stroll around your neighbourhood discovering the many blue plaque buildings, or enjoy a drink at the Fitzroy Tavern (a one-minute walk), once a watering hole for artists and writers like Nina Hamnett, Dylan Thomas and George Orwell. You’re also a seven-minute walk from the British... Museum, a fifteen-minute stroll from both Covent Garden and Leicester Square, while Regent’s Park is just under twenty minutes away on foot.

Local guide
About Fitzrovia
Wedged between Bloomsbury, Soho, Covent Garden and Marylebone, Fitzrovia is a haven for foodies, art lovers and shoppers alike. You'll be rubbing shoulders with stylish local architects, gallerists and other artsy animals every evening from 6pm onwards, either sipping a cocktail in a glamorous bar or having a pint in one of the many historic and characterful local pubs. The weekends are a bit quieter when the local workers disperse, which is a good time to stroll up to Regent's Park, marvel the glories of the British Museum or head to the shops on Oxford Street.
