This sumptuous home is situated in one of London's most desirable shopping neighbourhoods, Covent Garden. Browse designer stores from Tom Ford and Polo Ralph Lauren to Tiffany & Co, or have a mooch around the myriad of independent boutiques. After all that shopping, enjoy lunch at one of the many cafes and restaurants here, and then later head to Somerset House or go for a stroll along the River Thames, both a five-minute walk away. Other attractions include Trafalgar Square, a four-minute saunter and the British Museum, a fifteen-minute amble. Back at this elegant home, relax on the turquoise velvet sofa with its many cushions and go through your purchases. Later, if you don't fancy eating out, whip up a salmon en croûte in the modern kitchen – we love the marble-topped dining table here. After a busy day, we can't think of anything better than a long soak in the bath – then head to bed in one of the luxurious bedrooms, all with plush velvet headboards and seating areas.

Local guide
About Covent Garden
Covent Garden is right in the thick of the action of Central London. It's home to the Royal Opera House, an imposing square packed full of weird and wonderful street performers and the charming Five Dials district, with its independent boutiques and restaurants. It's the perfect place to stay if you're planning on seeing some West End shows, all of which are within easy walking distance. If you want to return to peace and quiet at the end of each day then you might want to look elsewhere!
