Set right in the beating heart of London's West End, just around the corner from Leicester Square Underground, the location of this smart apartment is unbeatable. While the contemporary interiors of this serviced apartment may feel a little stark for some, the dual-aspect sash windows flooding the home with natural light and decorative period fireplaces are a nice touch. It's worth noting there's no lift in this apartment building, so be prepared to notch up your step count with some stairs.

This home is located within an apartment building with a shared entrance. Expect to bump into other guests during your stay.
There is no lift at this apartment building, so be prepared to climb some stairs.
Your host operates several apartments here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.

Local guide
About The West End
The West End is about as central as it gets, hundreds of restaurants and bars on your doorstep and you might even see the lights of Shaftesbury Avenue (London's Broadway) blinking through your curtains. It's certainly conveniently located for flopping into bed after seeing a show, but be warned you will be sharing the area with quite a lot of tourists and you won't find many proper Londoners or signs...
