Location: Camden, London, England, United Kingdom, Europe
Accommodations: Apartment, 1 Bedroom + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 2-4)
This bright, elegant Georgian (1760) flat is your perfect pied-a-terre in Central London. Situated in a very quiet, very safe tree lined side street just off Brunswick Sq in the heart of Bloomsbury, it's barely five minutes walk from Russell Square tube (Piccadilly line) or the double decker buses on Southampton Row. A pleasant ten minute walk though Russell Sq Gardens will take you to the British Museum or up to Kings Cross and the British Library; or twenty minutes (or two tube stops) to Covent Garden and ten minutes more to Shaftesbury Ave and the West End theatres.
The whole building was completely refurbished in 2005 and this first floor flat (second floor in US) is a charming place to return to after a busy day of sight seeing or shopping. Retaining the original marble fireplace and cream painted shutters, the high ceilings and long Georgian windows give a feeling of space and light whilst modern, quality furniture ensures your comfort.
Both the queen-size bed and the sofa bed have deep mattresses, the comfortable chairs are of cream leather, the kitchen area is fully equipped and the pull-out dining table easily seats four. The bathroom has shower/bath, basin, toilet and heated towel rail and the separate utility/laundry room on the landing has a sink, washer and dryer, iron/board and room to store luggage.
The Brunswick Centre, Bloomsburys new High St. is moments away and affords great grocery shopping at gourmet supermarket Waitrose, two Chemists, a Starbucks, the artsy Renoir Cinema and a selection of interesting restaurants and a small Farmers Market on Weds and Sats.
Travel to the flat is excellent with Heathrow just an hour away, straight through on the Piccadilly line. The Eurostar train to Paris/Brussels is 10 minutes walk or one tube stop, similarly to Euston Station. With Liverpool St.(Stanstead) or Victoria (Gatwick) a short cab ride away, this delightful home away from home has the advantage of being in a most central location and yet enjoying a very quiet and peaceful neighbourhood setting.
A recent visitor from VA says...'we LOVED the flat. The location was superb, we fell in love with Waitrose and enjoyed walking in the gardens nearby. The light was wonderful and the history of the house fascinating, we had never seen windows with shutters like that! You had thought of everything - the advantage of you the owners living here part of the time is that it is so well equipped and comfortable. We definitely want to come again.
