Modern, stylish and close to the West End and Chinatown, you might not think this Soho apartment has more to offer – but it does. Wander out onto the private rooftop terrace, where you can dine alfresco. Or enjoy sunset drinks with the sounds of this vibrant city on the street below. Though compact, you still have enough space to accommodate four, with two guests in the living area. And if you do need some extra breathing room, well, there's always that rooftop. Plus, London's at your fingertips with Leicester Square Station is only a four-minute walk away.
