On the fringes of the West End, this apartment in a converted red-brick warehouse has the look and feel of a trendy art gallery. Modern portraits have been hung up on the exposed stonework, while somebody with an eye for design has clearly had a hand in the thoughtful interplay of textures, from the velvet sofa to the hard wooden floors. The concrete-grey kitchen has everything you need for self-catering, but there are award-winning restaurants, cute brunch spots and street food stalls galore in the surrounding Covent Garden. The impeccably central location of this home means that there are copious amounts of distractions within walkable distance — The British Museum takes seven minutes to reach, while in the other direction, Somerset House takes the same amount of time.

Home truths:
*This home is part of a hotel – the lobby and communal areas are shared with other guests of the building.
*The host has several very similar homes in the same building – the exact layout, views, and design of your home might vary slightly from the photos.
