Whether you’re visiting London for business or pleasure, this modern apartment helps you make the most out of your stay with its central location, comfortable modern styling and personalised service. Step inside to be greeted with wood floors, large letterbox windows and a chic contemporary decor that will put you instantly at ease. We love the touches of blue velvet in the decor, as well as the cool wall art that adds additional characterful flair to the proceedings. Those looking to catch up on work can do so at the handy desk space available while aspiring home chefs will find everything they need to whip up a feast in the sleek kitchen – when they’re not out sampling the countless local restaurants, that is. Your Holborn locale means you’ve got a plethora of cultural hotspots within easy reach, including the British Museum (a twelve-minute walk), the Charles Dickens Museum (a six-minute walk) and the British Library (a twenty-minute walk). And should you wish to indulge in some retail therapy, Covent Garden and Tottenham Court Road are also within a twenty-minute stroll from your door.
