Situated in bustling Holborn, this stylish apartment ticks all our boxes for a comfortable stay in central London. Inside, large windows flood the home with natural night. After waking up in the cosy bedrooms, look forward to starting your day in the open-plan living space. Kick back with a cup of coffee on the comfy L-shaped sofa before sitting down to breakfast at the dining table. Should you be visiting on business, the desk in the main bedroom makes remote working a breeze. But if you’re lucky enough to be on your holidays, head outside and get to know your locale. Pore over the British Museum's eight million works or catch a matinee performance at an iconic theatre on nearby Shaftesbury Avenue. In the evening, hop on the Central Line and whizz over to Mayfair for a bite to eat in a world-class restaurant.
