Set right in the beating heart of London's West End, just around the corner from Leicester Square Underground, the location of this smart apartment is unbeatable. While the contemporary interiors of this serviced apartment may feel a little stark for some, the dual-aspect sash windows flooding the home with natural light and decorative period fireplaces are a nice touch. It's worth noting there's no lift in this apartment building, so be prepared to notch up your step count with some stairs.
