Stand Up Tall

Nothing says style quite like a penthouse apartment in the heart of Fitzrovia. Occupying a privileged position on the fourth floor, this dazzlingly bright home puts you in an ideal spot to discover the best of Central London, not to mention a comfortable, modern base to enjoy it all in fabulous fashion.

Tall vaulted ceilings topped with beams, hardwood floors and contemporary decor meet you in the bright open-plan living area, where an exposed brick wall and pendant lighting add a touch of industrial cool to the proceedings. Ample natural light pours in through the large windows and sliding glass doors that lead out onto a private terrace. Start your mornings here over fresh coffee and hot buttered crumpets or gather for celebratory alfresco sundowners before discovering the countless restaurants on your doorstep.

The two bedrooms, meanwhile, are elegantly pared-back with bright pops of colour in their throw pillows as well as plenty of built-in storage, while the pair of bathrooms – one of which is an en-suite – wait to ease you into a relaxing day with their luxurious rainfall showers.

You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to exploring nearby with Oxford Street a three-minute walk, the British Museum a seven-minute stroll and both Leicester Square and Covent Garden fifteen minutes away on foot. We recommend a stroll around your neighbourhood too where you’ll spy plenty of historic blue plaque buildings, as well as a visit to the famous Fitzroy Tavern (a one-minute walk) where the likes of Nina Hamnett, Dylan Thomas and George Orwell once gathered.
