There's no shortage of things to get up to in Leicester Square, that's for sure. Famous for landmark cinemas, star-studded movie premieres and buzzing casinos, this vibrant epicentre has plenty to keep you entertained. Even better, it's close to everything – Soho, Chinatown, Covent Garden and the West End are all a short stroll away, and thanks to Leicester Square station, zipping around the rest of the city is a breeze. Everything you'd want or need is on your doorstep here, and for first-time visitors to London, it's an exciting, albeit busy, spot to base yourself. When you're not out exploring, this stylish apartment is an excellent place to rest your head. We think it's bright and surprisingly roomy, especially for a flat in one of London's liveliest neighbourhoods. Following an afternoon adventure, sprawl out on the plush L-shaped sofa with a glass of wine and your favourite Netflix shows on the TV. If you're in the mood for a home-cooked meal, the glossy full-size kitchen has you covered. Both bedrooms have sumptuous beds and sleek bathrooms with rain showers, but our favourite detail is the small Juliet balcony off the dining area, where you can stand with your morning coffee and admire the Chinese lanterns hanging on the streets below. Home truths: *A cot, high chair and window guards can be provided on request *This is a very lively area in central London, so expect to hear some noise from the surrounding streets *You can park at the paid parking garages nearby, but we suggest leaving the car behind – there are tons of restaurants, shops and attractions within walking distance, plus Leicester Square station is a three-minute stroll away if you need to go further afield *Leicester Square is a very busy spot popular with tourists – if you want somewhere off-the-beaten-track, we suggest looking in a quieter neighbourhood
