You can’t get more central than this – sitting on Leicester Square and moments from Oxford Street, Covent Garden and Soho – this modern apartment is an ideal base for a solo traveller or couple looking to be within walking distance of London's Heart. It’s not just its locale that caught our eye, though. The interior is bright and contemporary, with a dedicated desk and open-plan living space for kicking back after a day of gallery hopping. And though you’ll need to climb some stairs to reach this third-floor walk-up, it’s an inviting spot to retreat to.
