If you’re a theatre fan, you’ll love this stylish apartment we found tucked away down London’s bustling Shaftesbury Avenue. Just a stone’s throw from the Sondheim Theatre – home to Les Miserables since 2004 – this is the perfect setting for your next trip to the capital, boasting a generous selection of modern amenities and views over one of London’s busiest streets. Start your day with a cup of tea before getting dressed and heading into the city. Whether this is your first visit, or you’ve been here hundreds of times, there’s always something new to discover, so start walking and see where the day takes you. Don’t worry about bringing a packed lunch – you can guarantee there’ll be a whole host of eateries wherever you end up, not to mention a huge selection of grocery stores for all your food shopping needs. Spend some time taking in London’s famous attractions – Buckingham Palace is just a twenty-two-minute walk away – and, when you’ve had your fill of being out and about, zip home on the Tube and put your feet up in front of the fire. Round your day off with another cup of tea – it’d be rude not to – then sink into bed and dream a dream of London.

Home truths
Parking in London can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible – though we think the best way to see the city is on foot
Though there's enough bed space for six people here, we'd recommend a maximum guest count of four
Your host can provide a cot for free upon request
This home is located on the third floor – there's no lift so be careful if you're travelling with heavy luggage
You're in the middle of London here, so noise is to be expected
Though there isn't a dedicated desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace

Local guide
About The West End
The West End is about as central as it gets, hundreds of restaurants and bars on your doorstep and you might even see the lights of Shaftesbury Avenue (London's Broadway) blinking through your curtains. It's certainly conveniently located for flopping into bed after seeing a show, but be warned you will be sharing the area with quite a lot of tourists and you won't find many proper Londoners or signs...
