This home is a throwback to the West End of the 70's and 80's. Voguish furniture and a historical appearance gives it a dated vibe, though modern appliances bring it into the modern day. For those of you who love the old-school style of London, this is the perfect place. Alongside the unique decor, the home has a standout highlight – the prime location. Just a couple of minutes away from the glamour of Covent Garden and the glitz of the West End, it's right in the heart of London. You can catch a world-famous show and dine out at a high-end restaurant, and do so having walked less than five minutes. Keep walking south and you'll stumble across the dreamy stretch along the river at Southbank. Adorned by cute bars and restaurants with alfresco dining, it's an idyllic spot in the summer months. When the weather isn't quite as pleasant, take shelter in the wealth of fascinating museums and chic galleries.

Local guide
About The West End
The West End is about as central as it gets, hundreds of restaurants and bars on your doorstep and you might even see the lights of Shaftesbury Avenue (London's Broadway) blinking through your curtains. It's certainly conveniently located for flopping into bed after seeing a show, but be warned you will be sharing the area with quite a lot of tourists and you won't find many proper Londoners or signs...
