THE HOUSE

This is a traditionally furnished, beautifully presented house tucked away down a quaint alley in the heart of Covent Garden. If you seek the exceptional and want the time you spend in London to be truly memorable, this house is the perfect choice. You can't fail to be charmed by every room, and delighted by how easy it is to reach so much of central London. So let's open the private front door, just around the corner from St Martin's Lane in Theatreland and take a look inside.

THE LIVING ROOM

Your front door from the street opens directly into this cozy room in which classic settees are arranged either side of a wooden coffee table and decorative fireplace. It's a room you'll simply love relaxing in. The books on the shelves, prints on the walls and rug on the floor all combine to make this the homeliest of spaces. And the quiet you'll enjoy will probably cause you to forget you're right in the centre of London. Staircases lead both upwards and downwards from the room, so let's head downstairs first.

THE DINING AREA

Shiny wooden floors across this space lend a real English country feel to an area that has a decorative brick fireplace and circular wooden dining table and chairs in its centre. This is the place to gather for snacks and meals, or perch for coffee in the mornings, or sit to enjoy games in the evenings. It also makes for a great work space if you need to stay in central London on business.

THE KITCHEN

Adjacent to the dining area, the kitchen is actually located under the street, so London life will be walking on by above you as you prepare snacks and meals in this beautiful kitchen. Discover classic cabinets on a chequered floor, plus all the high specification appliances you're likely to need to enjoy home-cooked food on those occasions you choose not to eat out at the vast array of restaurants that are literally on your doorstep.

THE SNUG

This is also under the Covent Garden street above and features a bright and gloriously comfortable corner sofa offering up views of the flatscreen TV. Its worth noting the framed posters in here, and on the top floor, feature the home owners uncle.

THE 3 BEDROOMS

Heading upstairs from the living room takes you to the trio of bedrooms. And, in keeping with the rest of the house, they are immaculately presented spaces. The master has a Kingszie with the two other bedrooms standard doubles. Whichever of the bedrooms you sleep in, you're sure of a great night's rest as the house blocks out most of the sounds you'd expect to hear when staying in central London.

THE BATHROOMS

The beauty and the tradition continues in the bathrooms, with modern showers standing alongside classic wash basins and WCs to make freshening-up ahead of a new day a real pleasure. Quality towels will be provided.

THE BALCONY

Have we saved the best until last? Quite possibly. Because, even though this is a central London house, you still get outside space to yourselves in the form of a balcony overlooking the rooftops of central London. There's a table and chairs out here where you can sit any time of day - perhaps for morning coffee, afternoon lunch and evening drinks (wine glasses are provided) and just enjoy being able to soak up the atmosphere of living in central London.

LAUNDRY

You have a tumble dryer stacked on top of a washing machine here in the house, so all your laundry needs can be handled at home. There's no need to hunt down the nearest launderette - useful if you are planning a longer term stay, or wish to wear some of the clothing you've brought with you more than once.

REMOTE WORKING

There's space in the snug, on the balcony and at the dining table for you to work. And of course, this being central London, you'll have a strong Wi-Fi service throughout the house.

THE LOCAL AREA

This apartment is located in one of the busiest, most popular areas of London. And yet the house gives you somewhere quiet and relaxing to escape from the hustle and bustle.

Staying here brings all of this (and more) within easy reach:

Leicester Square & Covent Garden

Discover boutiques, stores, restaurants, bars, pubs, coffee shops, nightclubs and casinos in these lively locations that attract and delight people from all over the world all year round.

Theatreland

If you've booked tickets for a West End show, you couldn't wish for a better place to stay. You're within easy walking distance of the vast majority of theatres, so getting to your seat and back (maybe via a restaurant) is really easy.

National Portrait Gallery

It's just around the corner from the house, so well worth a visit.

Royal Opera House and London Coliseum

Just two more of the major entertainment venues that are within easy reach of the house.

GETTING AROUND

Staying in the heart of London means you're spoilt for choice when it comes to transport options. You'll likely be able to walk or cycle pretty much everywhere you need to go during your stay. And you can always hire taxis or private cars via Uber if you prefer.

As regards public transport, there are plenty of bus routes to chose from as well as London Underground stations at Leicester Square and Covent Garden, both just a few minutes' walk away from your front door. Both stations are on the Piccadilly Line, which directly connects with Heathrow Airport and Knightsbridge (for Harrods) to the west, and King's Cross St Pancras (for Eurostar) in the opposite direction. Leicester Square is also served by Northern Line trains with connections to Clapham in the south and Camden Town to the north.

Charing Cross railway station is just to the south of the house, connecting you with various destinations across Southeast England, including Tunbridge Wells.

Great Location! Incredible Stay!
Stayed here for a family vacation. The central location cannot be beat! Close to landmarks, the tube(s), shopping, grocery, and dining, this property had it all right outside the door. Kitchen was well appointed for our needs. The terrace was perfect for afternoon cocktails - for six adults! Management was incredibly helpful with any questions. Be prepared for stairs! Highly recommend.

Perfect Location
As others have mentioned, there are a lot of stairs which were only an issue when trying to get luggage in and out. The location was amazing. In the middle of all the hustle and bustle yet still secluded down an old alley that was gorgeous. The inside was like going back in time; so many details and art on the wall gave it the true London experience! Beds were all comfy and having en suite bathrooms attached to all rooms made getting ready as a group easier. We mostly hung out in the main room which was plenty spacious for the four of us. Only got to enjoy the peaceful roof deck area one afternoon but even that felt as magical as the rest of the house. We were able to check in a bit early which was nice after flying overnight from the states. Everyone was super nice from the time of booking to arrival. Highly recommend this home!!

Amazing Central London Flat
This flat was beyond amazing. We were a group of 5 and had plenty of space to enjoy a rainy day in. The location was outstanding, the flat was clean and well stocked and communication was amazing.

Great location. Small rooms.
The apartment is in the alley that they say inspired Knock Turn Alley. We thought that was pretty cool and the location cannot be beat. It was pretty noisy though with a lot of tour groups going through the alley. And the rooms are very small. There were just two of us staying and each had their own room and bathroom but it still felt very tight. We are Americans. The stairs were killer too. We never enjoyed the balcony because it was too much to go down and get a coffee or something (kitchen in the basement) and then walk up 5 floors to the balcony. I probably wouldn’t stay again just because of the smallness, but the location is perfect.

Fantastic.
We were a party of 6 adults. Location was great. Our check-in was easy and Hugo was wonderful, helpful and timely. Beds were comfortable. Only issue was learning how to use the dryer. Would suggest instructions be available in the laundry room. Would definitely stay again and encourage others to do so. The stairs could be a challenge for some.

Incredible!
The host, his staff and this property are something you could only dream of. We felt we were living in the middle of a Dickens novel, Mary Poppins and Harry Potter. My wife and I have been to London often but this was the first time with our family. It turned out that my children and grandchildren occupied the property and we stayed at a Five Star Hotel 60 seconds away. I cannot say enough good things about the location. There has to be 500 hundred restaurants within 5 minutes walking. We tried to eat at as many as we could. Still 450 left to go. We saw 4 plays and walked to every theatre within 5 minutes. As long as you do not mind stairs there is not another property in London like this. If you are looking for a memory to last forever, this is the place for you. Thank you to Nick and his team for making such an incredible place available for our family.

Wonderful Covent Garden House!
We just spent a week at this wonderful Covent Garden home and had an amazing time! Nick was easy to communicate with and responsive to questions; he was also very accommodating - let us check in early (for a modest fee) - very helpful after flying overnight. Our group of 5 loved the house’s layout and everyone had plenty of space. All 3 bedrooms have their own en suite bath, plus plenty of storage for clothes. And it was great having 1/2 bath plus washer/dryer on main level. There are a lot of stairs - not an issue for us - but something to be aware of. The lower level kitchen, dining, and additional seating area are really cute - we didn’t do any cooking so spent minimal time down there, but it had everything we needed. We loved the rooftop patio and a glass of wine up there most nights. The location of the property can’t be beat - we were within walking distance of so many great attractions, and easy access to multiple tube stations to get us everywhere else. And there are great pubs and restaurants right out the door. There are tour groups that come down the alley way (it has a very Harry Potter vibe!), and a couple of times people thought it was fun to use the door knocker - presumably to capture a photo op - but that was a minor issue, and more amusing than anything. Pictures were accurate - really lovely place with great decor. Highly recommend and would definitely stay there again!
