We'd be suitably impressed by the clean and contemporary design of this apartment regardless of where it sat on the map, but the fact that it's found right in the very beating heart of London only adds to its allure. Get ready to have all your all preconceptions about central homes banished. Here, there's plenty of natural light from the floor-to-ceiling windows and the stark white walls only lend to this bright ambience. The furnishings and finishes are full of character, and we like the collection of artwork, too. There's no part of the home that feels cramped, especially the kitchen and round dining table which will have you covered if you fancy a night off the local restaurants. However, if cooking isn't on the cards, some of the UK capital's best culinary establishments can be found within footsteps of the front door, as well as an eclectic array of attractions – the Royal Opera House sits less than five minutes away on foot, as does the London Transport Museum and many of London's West End Theatres. Home truths: *There's no elevator in the building to reach this single-level apartment *The building has paid parking available on the premises *Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace *This home is in a central sport, so noise is to be expected *Well-behaved dogs are welcome to accompany you during your stay
