Location: Westminster, London, England, United Kingdom, Europe (Close To Covent Garden Market, Leicester Square, Piccadilly)

Accommodations:  Apartment, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 4-6)

Uniquely positioned in the ‘heart’ of Covent Garden and London’s main theatre and entertainment district, Shelton Street is only 2 minutes walk from Covent Garden market with its famous Victorian architecture and vibrant mix of craft stalls, boutique shops and street entertainment and of course the Royal Opera House. For Jazz fans Ronnie Scott’s Club and the Spice of Life pub are within strolling distance. As Artists ourselves we can direct you to all the latest live music events (including our own!).

Covent Garden Underground Station (Piccadilly line direct from/to Heathrow Airport) is within a short walk from the apartment (approx. 3 minutes). There are so many restaurants (Carluccio’s, The Ivy to name two), famous theatres and bars close by that we can’t name them all here! In fact, there is so much to see on-foot, within your immediate vicinity, you won’t need to use the Underground at all if you choose not to!

If you do want to travel further afield there are a number of Underground stations close by, taking you to for example, London’s premier shopping streets, Oxford Street, Knightsbridge and Kensington, or to visit St. James Park and Buckingham Palace. Also within easy walking distance is Piccadilly Circus, the River Thames and its South Bank attractions, Trafalgar Square and 10 Downing Street. For a day trip further afield, Charing Cross Mainline Station, is within easy walking distance and will take you to the South coast of England in under 2 hours.

The apartment itself is within a small development of recently built apartments constructed within a small, traditional Victorian warehouse building, which retains a wealth of traditional, architectural character and benefits from modern easy-to-clean facilities such as wide oak flooring and the latest kitchen and bathroom designs. Appliances include: washer/drier; microwave; hob; oven and fridge-freezer. Being located in a quiet street behind Long Acre, (one of the main shopping streets in Covent Garden), means you can keep popping back home to drop off your shopping, or before going out to the theatre in the evening, to put your feet-up and have a cup of tea!

The apartment interior and furnishings are new and contemporary in design and furnishings, with multi-channel television, DVD/video player and Hi Fi available for your entertainment (with a selection of CDs, DVDs and videos). Sleeping arrangements (for up to six adults) include two bedrooms, one with a king size bed and one a zip & link super king size bed, which can be easily transformed into twin beds (ideal for children). There is further accommodation on a double sofa-bed in the living room. All linen is included. Tesco Metro and Marks and Spencer are both within 2 minutes walk for grocery supplies. China crockery cooking utensils, bed linen and towels are all provided.

If you are looking for the perfect mixture of location and facilities, our apartment is the ideal. We know you won’t be disappointed!

  • Clean, centrally located, and best-in-class hospitality from the owners. We were met at the apartment, with a kitchen pre-stocked with a few necessities (always a plus for a family with young children). The apartment itself is beautiful. Tastefully, even fashionably, furnished. Well equipped with kitchen stuff. Definately on our list for future trips to London.

  • We had a wonderful time staying in this clean, welcoming apartment. It was truly home from home and the central location made it ideal for a visit to London. We could walk anywhere and with two teenagers it was a true blessing to have some private space. The welcoming Christmas mince pies were a wonderful gesture and was very much appreciated. It is ideal for up to 4 persons. Thank you again!

  • This was a wonderful apartment and provided an ideal way for us to enjoy the very best of London. My husband and I stayed here with our two adult sons for 8 days in October, 2008. The apartment was clean and beautifully appointed - it felt like a high-end hotel. The kitchen and bath were quite modern and the kitchen was well stocked with essentials. There was plenty of room for all of us to relax and enjoy after a long day of sightseeing. The apartment is in a perfect location. It's a short walk to the shopping and excitement of Covent Garden - we loved watching the street buskers! The tube is only a few steps away, which made it very easy to get around. Even better, the apartment is right in the heart of the theatre district. We bought half-price tickets every morning and walked to the show every night. I would definitely recommend this apartment!

  • We enjoyed your apartment immensely. It is in a perfect location, two short blocks from the Covent Garden tube station, and within easy walking distance of Trafalgar Square, Buckingham Palace, St Paul's Cathedral, and the Tate Modern, all of which we visited. The apartment itself was brand new, quiet, and secure. The open-plan kitchen/dining/ living area was spacious and well-equipped, with a large refrigerator/freezer, microwave, and washer/ dryer. Our son and his wife also stayed with us for a few days, and there was plenty of room for the four of us. A sofa bed in the living room provides additional sleeping space. Several historic pubs were steps away. Nearby, M&S and Tesco's provided hearty takeaway meals, and London's best cheese shop, Neals Yard Dairy, was also just a few minutes away in the Seven Dials shopping area.
