A fresh and functional home, designed with space and comfort in mind – this apartment in the heart of Bloomsbury, one of London’s most authentic (and still central) neighbourhoods, is quiet, clean and perfectly suited for those long weekends in the city. There's a large, private patio area – that all-too-rare of London amenities – out the back, complete with garden furniture, a parasol umbrella and high walls that makes it a cosy and intimate spot for sunny breakfasts in the fresh air. For the interior, think – minimalist furnishings, plenty of dark wood and low ceilings. Outside, take a wander through the immediate area and find tonnes of chic cafes, independent bookshops and elegant eateries. There's also the added bonus of being a six-minute stroll from Russell Square, that's calling out for leafy picnics and romantic walks in the park. With close proximity to popular tourist attractions too, you're a short nine-minute walk from the British Museum.

Home truths:
*This is a basement flat, so you’ll also have to descend a few steps to get to the front door
*The wifi-speed can be a little slow
*The king size bed in the master bedroom is a zip and link mattress (meaning it's two mattresses that have been zipped together to form one)
