About the home

The location of this apartment is quite exceptional. Trafalgar Square and the National Gallery are within a few hundred metres of the front door. It is immediately next door to Benjamin Franklins old London residence which is now a museum.

The River Thames is a 1 minute walk away, with the London Eye and Royal Festival Hall just across the Hungerford footbridge. Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament are also only a short walk away. You are minutes from many of London's finest Theatres and Restaurants, with a unique London Pub around the corner. Covent Garden is 5 minutes walk across The Strand with its eclectic mix of live street theatre and cafe culture.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The property has been renovated in a most sympathetic manner in the mid 1990s and maintained to a very high standard.The apartment has a large, bright modern living area on the ground floor with wooden floors and wood panelled walls. The authentic classical wooden shutters provide privacy from the quiet road outside. The lounge leads to a separate kitchen /diner with a table comfortably seating 8 .The modern kitchen with stainless steel and Slate work surfaces has all the modern conveniences you would expect including a Dishwasher and Nespresso coffee machine.

The 3 bedrooms are accessed by stairs to the lower ground floor with good natural light and modern contemporary bathrooms. The vast main bedroom has an Oak Superkingsize bed (6ft) and modern en suite bathroom with shower. The second bedroom has a solid metal framed Kingsize (5ft) bedstead. There is a modern family bathroom with bath and shower facility. The third bedroom has bunkbeds with mattresses designed for either adults or children.

We can also make available a double inflatable mattress by arrangement. This would comfortably fit in the main bedroom if required.

Further details outdoors:
Although there is no private outside space there are public gardens at the end of the street and the royal St James Park is within a couple of hundred meters.
A parking space may be available by arrangement although a car has little value when getting around the central part of London and use of the car would attract a congestion charge.

Further details

A welcome brochure helps newcomers to London settle in quickly and find some local good restaurants and other facilities. Basic items (tea/coffee) are provided on your arrival but we would be grateful if you could replace what you use for the benefit of those who follow. The telephone can be used for local calls but we request you avoid its use for international calls and those to mobiles to avoid incurring additional expense.

Conditions

Please contact us and Tansy will be able to give you more details of availability and a further description of the flat

The South East England / London region

London is the capital city of England and has a vast selection of modern and historical sites to suit all tastes and interests as well as a great variety of restaurants and theatres. The city is very culturally diverse and has attractions for all.

The Central London/Zone 1 / Westminster area

The Royal City of Westminster is in the true heart of London and the public transport links are excellent both within the city and to surrounding areas including 4 international airports within 50km. The transport links are all well integrated and there is an Oyster Card system that makes London local travel easier and more economic.

Some of the many famous sites for which London is famous can in fact be reached from this flat without the need for the use of public transport due to its central location!

Londons museums are mainly free to enter and two of the most famous the National Portrait gallery and the National Gallery are on the flats doorstep.

This street leads round under a building into Craven Street. In front of you (as you join Craven Street) is a steep downward slope which leads to a metal gate beyond which are parking spaces. Our private parking space is number 6.
There is no allocated parking on the street outside the flat- you can stop briefly to unload bags.

“unbelivable flat, great location” We travelled with our young children from Australia and just loved the apartment. We were able to walk to everywhere from tube stations, taxi stands, pubs, the london eye, etc, etc. It was just so central. The aparment was spacious and in very good condition. Communication with the owners was excellent and I highly recommend this apartment to anyone travelling to the UK. Thanks again we had a wonderful time.

“Lots of space, GREAT Location” Stayed 6 days for holiday travel. Very roomy, comfortable rental in an excellent location. Great restaurants and pubs within a few meters of the front door. Would definitely stay here again. Good communication with owners.

“Amazing. Fantastic place to stay close to all amenities.” Very luxurious house in a fantastic location. Owners have thought about everything that makes your stay comfortable. Attention to detail immaculate. Best quality bedding, towels, kitchen equipment etc. Pub next door- great traditional English pub but closes at 11pm with very little noise. Street very quiet as no through traffic. Will be returning.

“Amazing Location” Perfect location at an affordable price. Easy walking distance to many attractions and sights including Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus, Buckingham Palace, Theatres, Museums and Restaurants. Transport was an enlightening experience but extremely convenient with nearby Charing Cross and Embankment Stations. We loved our stay and hope to return next year. Thank you!!

“Perfectly equipped and situated” Best city centre accommodation we have ever had. I had high hopes for the location which were well-founded - I doubt you could do better for a shopping/eating/theatre and sight-seeing visit to London. Two underground stations within a 2 minute walk, with a direct line to Euston. Inside the house was spacious, well-equipped and very comfortable. Despite a pub nearby, we were not disturbed at night. Although we did mostly eat out, you could easily self-cater. We hope to return and will do just that next time. Only slight niggle was low water pressure for the showers, but there was plenty of hot water, so we can forgive that.

“Perfect location, very nice apartment with all conforts” We stay there for 5 days. The house is in a quite street, just behind Trafalgar Square. In a one minute walk you have underground, trains, buses, taxes and various supermarkets and obviously a lot of different restaurants and pubs. Walking with children you can reach Covent Garden, British Museum,National Gallery Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey and London Eye! The apartment is well furnished, with every kind of electrical appliances. It's cosy and elegant. We can only suggest to supply two or three towels more. We surely recommend the apartment to everyone who wants to spend some time in London.

“Amazing Apartment” I stayed here with my wife and 3 Children when I ran the London Marathon. The Location is excellent and we were either walking distance or just a short tube ride away from all the major attractions. The layout of the Apartment is brilliant and it is much bigger than I first anticipated and also furninshed and decorated to a high standard. Mr Housden will certainly be getting a booking from us again next time we stay in London!! The communication was excellent with Tansy when booking and all the keys and directions arrived in excellent time. We looked at hotels to stay in and other apartments for fitting in a family of 5 but none of them came even close to this one. It is the best!! My only complaint is that we only stayed for 2 nights!!
