Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Whether you're in London to sightsee or are visiting for business, this modern apartment is a fantastic base. It's a short walk from Chancery Lane Station, putting The City of London, St Paul's Cathedral, and Covent Garden all within easy reach. Shops and restaurants are also on your doorstep, though if you'd prefer to unwind back home, there's plenty of space to do just that. We love the contemporary design, especially the high ceilings in the breezy living area. It's spread across the ground and lower-ground floors, so it can be a tad dark. Centrally located and comfortable – that's our boxes ticked.
