Sitting between two of Soho’s most iconic streets – Dean Street and Wardour Street – this New York-style loft apartment puts you in one of the capital’s most desirably central locales. Stepping into this bright, stylish space, you can immediately tell that its former owner was an architect. Keeping many of its original features – like the exposed brick walls and huge warehouse windows – the living area feels cool and contemporary while being awash with natural light. Make yourself comfortable on the sofa with a glass of wine after a day of exploring or sit down to a meal at the window-side table when you’re not out sampling Soho’s eclectic food and bar scene. The two bedrooms, meanwhile, are just as chic with their pared-back aesthetic and exposed brick walls, and there’s a desk space in one should you need to catch up on work. Factor in the beautifully sleek metro-tiled bathroom and its luxurious rainfall shower, and you’ve got everything you need for a perfectly pampered stay. Outside of your home, you’ve got all the buzz and excitement of Soho and Central London on your doorstep. Step back into the Swinging Sixties with a jaunt down Carnaby Street... (an eight-minute walk), indulge in some high-end shopping in Covent Garden (a thirteen-minute walk) and catch a show at one of the sparkling West End theatres (a ten-minute walk). With all this and more to enjoy, there’s no end to the good times in store.

Local guide
About Soho
Though there are still signs of its seedier past if you look hard enough, Soho is now home mainly to affluent young media types most of whom work in the area and who love the period townhouses, history-filled pubs, and buzzing independent restaurant scene. If you want to be in the thick of London's late-night bar scene and rubbing shoulders with London's hippest young things, then you're in the right place. If you want peace and quiet at the end of the day and are a light sleeper then you might want to look elsewhere.
