History and culture are right on your doorstep here at this stylish apartment in the heart of Fitzrovia. Surrounded by blue plaque buildings and just a one-minute stroll from the famous Fitzroy Tavern – where writers and authors like Nina Hamnett, Dylan Thomas and George Orwell once gathered – you’re in a prime position to get the most out of Central London. Inside, hardwood floors, large windows and a vibrant contemporary decor set a welcoming scene in the open-plan living area. Make yourself at home on the plump sofa with a glass of wine or gather at the cosy dining table for an intimate soirée when you’re not out discovering the local dining scene. The bedroom, meanwhile, offers equally large windows and a beautifully dressed bed inviting a dreamy night’s sleep, and the dazzling metro-tiled bathroom is all set to get mornings off on the right foot with its luxurious rainfall shower. When you’re ready to set out for a day of adventure, you needn't go far before discovering the best of the city’s sights – Oxford Street is a three-minute walk, the British Museum is a ten-minute stroll and Soho is just ten minutes away on foot. With... Covent Garden and Leicester Square also a fifteen-minute walk – not to mention sprawling Regent’s Park a twenty-minute walk away – you’ve got endless options when it comes to fun and entertainment.

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.
