Author's Corner

Located in Fitzrovia – just a three-minute walk from Oxford Street and a stone’s throw from the Fitzroy Tavern where luminaries like Dylan Thomas and George Orwell once congregated – this modern apartment puts you in the heart of the city with countless things to see and do on your doorstep.

Setting a stylish scene with its hardwood floors and contemporary decor, the open-plan living area is a sociable space to relax and unwind after a busy day of sightseeing. Make yourself comfortable on the plump sofa with a glass of wine or sit down to a meal at the cosy dining table, prepared in the sleek kitchen. You’ll relish retreating to the inviting bedroom for a blissful night’s sleep at the end of the night, while wake-ups are made all the more enticing thanks to the dazzling metro-tiled bathroom’s luxurious rainfall shower.

When you’re ready to set out for a day of exploring, make a beeline for the British Museum (a seven-minute walk) or treat yourself to some shopping along nearby Oxford Street or Regent Street (a nine-minute walk). You’re also a fifteen-minute stroll from both Covent Garden and Leicester Square, while Soho’s eclectic bar and dining scenes are ten minutes away on foot.
