The High Life Hangar London, Greater London

Holiday Rental Description

This top floor apartment in Leicester Square is seriously cool. It's not enough that the home's roof is curved in shape, almost resembling a spaceship or an aircraft hangar. It then has to be designed with a clear editorial eye, with stylish monochrome furnishings, and plants that almost immediately command your attention. We say 'almost' because the view out over the city from walls of glass draw the eye before anything else. The wood-beamed ceilings ground the home in reality, so it feels as homely as it does a modern art gallery. That mix continues in the bedrooms, idyllic and seriously stylish – there are chairs with loud fabrics, a cool reflection of the city outside, plus plush beds and pastel tones. You also get your own roof terrace here, an enviable spot overlooking the rooftop to the BT Tower to enjoy your morning coffee while the city wakes up. Just outside the building you've got the movie premiere capital of the world, Leicester Square. Whether it's the cinemas, the West End or meals out in Chinatown, nothing is too far away. Ideal, as you'll never want to be too far from the cool luxury of your London abode.

Home truths:
*This apartment is on the top floor, and spreads across two floors so it may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility
*As Leicester Square and Chinatown are both popular tourist destinations, you'll likely hear some noise from the street outside
*There's no parking here or around this home due to its central London – but tube stations and transport links in the area are abundant
*The private terrace is a rarity in this area but could use a little tidying up
*There is no sound system in this home
