About this apartment rental

Life in the City - your home away from home in Central London!

A cool top floor penthouse apartment offering 110 sqm of living space, including a 40 sqm decked terrace overlooking the financial city. You'll be in the heart of the city - the buzz (and delicious food) of the market street below by day, the quiet you need to rest by night.

The penthouse is a newly built conversion on top of what used to be a pub-house (turned into a cool and lively cafe) and is great both for business visitors to London (walking distance to the City, 2 stops from Kings Cross), as well as tourists (a 10 min walk to St. Paul's and from there take the tube to Oxford street or cross the river over to the Tate Modern for example).

The 40 sqm decked terrace of the flat with expansive views on the City is what makes this place special and is a great end of day destination and a nice brunch/lunch spot any time of the week (London weather permitting).

The master bedroom has a king-size bed, the smaller bedroom has a reclining sofa, that can sleep two. The bathroom has a bathtub as well as a separate shower.

Fully equipped kitchen, including a blender (great for smoothies any time of day), juice press (to satisfy your thirst for fresh orange juice) and a Nespresso coffee machine to help you wake up in the morning. A large oven and stove as well as a microwave, for those who feel the need to cook at home, although there are a bunch of great places at your doorstep (Turkish, sushi, Vegan, Thai, Indian, Italian, Ramen noodles and more).

For groceries, Waitrose supermarket is just down the street.

Please note, the penthouse is situated on the top (3rd) floor of an old pub house conversion. As such, there is no lift in the building, not recommended for guests who may have mobility problems. The flip side of the walk up the stairs are the sweeping views of the city from the large outdoor space of the terrace.

Walking distance to St. Paul's cathedral, Tate Modern, Tower bridge, etc. Close to 3 metro stops/5 metro lines: Barbican, Old Street and St. Paul's.

Open market on Whitecross is fun and delicious!

Who loves it: business travellers; solo travellers; families with kids; couples or friends visiting London for the weekend;

At your doorstep: the Barbican; Guildhall school of music; Smithfields; Shoreditch; Kingscross St Pancrass; Sandlers Wells; Bank of England;

Communication was great. Accurately described. Roof deck was fantastic. Walking distance to two tube lines, cafe and local pubs. Food trucks on street during the week and appreciated having air conditioning as we were there during a heat wave.

Great location, quiet area in the evening, tons of food options just outside the apartment. Tube locations 5-10 minutes away. Flat is on the 3rd floor, but you have a wonderful view on the rooftop terrace. Our family really enjoyed the flat’s layout and great beds.

Apartment was perfect for what we needed. Clean and well appointed, and while the weather didn’t always cooperate, the deck access was really nice when the sun peeked out. Finally, Milena was proactive with the communication and very attentive during our stay.

Close to public transportation. Great location to just stroll around. Every weekday you can just step outside to the street vendors setting up for lunch crowd and try the different foods. I highly recommend.

Place is great, might be a bit of a climb for some, no lift but worth it.

Check in was a nightmare. Arrived at 1am and couldn’t find the keys. No lighting. Very dark. Key was behind a box and the wall. Walked around till we found hotel. $220.

The apartment had everything we needed. If the weather had cooperated, it would have been great to spend more time on the terrace. Very walkable area. Try Kennedy's for fish and chips (and other good entrees) - delicious food and very friendly staff.
