Tip Your Hat

This sleek apartment in Covent Garden is the perfect introduction to city living. The area was once known for its fruit-and-vegetable market but has since transformed into an exciting area full of boutiques, restaurants and bars. Step inside, and you'll find an understated, chic space with abstract prints on the walls, wooden floors and a stylish collection of furniture. The kitchen is set up with all the utensils you need to do some cooking, whether that's preparing a quick breakfast, or trying your hand at a traditional English roast dinner. However, if your idea of a holiday involves someone else cooking, then you're spoilt for choice right outside your front door, with many eateries offering pre-theatre menus before the West End shows begin. You're within walking distance of Leicester Square, Chinatown and Picadilly Circus, and Oxford Street's shops are only seven minutes away. And, if you take a ten-minute stroll down to the Thames, then you can walk along the river and admire many of London's most iconic landmarks – it's a great way to tick them off your sightseeing list.
