Welcome to the very heart of London! Overlooking Soho and Covent Garden, these identical apartments offer the flexibility of renting as either a 2-bedroom with the option of combining units to form a 4-bedroom, 6-bedroom or 8-bedroom accommodation. All have wonderful panoramic views of the capital, as they are in the same building, and are in walking distance of the main London tourist attractions...

Nearby is Leicester Square, Trafalgar Square, Picadilly Circus, The British Museum, Number 10 Downing Street, Big Ben and The Houses of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, St Paul's Cathedral, and The Tower of London...

Right outside your door are the main London shopping, restaurant, and theatre districts, plus cinemas, museums, art galleries, nightclubs, parks, 24-hour shops, etc. Excellent transport links to anywhere you need to go are offered because Tottenham Court Road Underground Station and Bus Stops are right next to the building ...

Our great location attracts both holiday-makers and business clients for both short and long stays from 1-week to several years.

Previous tenants include: Deutschebank, Ernst and Young, Pricewaterhouse Coopers, The Royal Opera House, Chicago The Musical and Borders Books-Music-Video Stores.

Apartments in this medium size 'high-rise' block start 6 levels up from street level and bedrooms have secondary glazing, so for such a central convenient location, many clients comment on how quiet they are. There are 2 fast, good-sized passenger lifts so you do not need to cope with lots of stairs!

The 2 bedrooms are arranged as Bedroom 1: 1 x SuperKing(UK 6ft wide x 6ft6" long) and Bedroom 2: 2 x Singles (UK 3ft wide x 6ft6" long).

If you would like to make a booking, there are very few terms and conditions(!) so just let me know your dates and request a booking form, or even simpler give me a call to book with credit card

The nearest London Underground Station is just outside the building and is Tottenham Court Road (at the junctions of Oxford Street, Charing Cross Road and New Oxford Street).

* BOOKING NOTES:
MINIMUM CHARGES: Please note on ADVANCE bookings MINIMUM CHARGES apply - this policy is to encourage 2-week rentals in PEAK SEASON as many of our best return guests want these (see rates table for minimums). Minimums are relaxed nearer to the arrival date (if the dates remain available).

CHANGEOVER DAYS: we try to keep these to MONDAYS or FRIDAYS because Check-In Staff + Maid Service are on site, and after a decade in the rental business these days fill our calendar solidly year-round. We offer MONDAY to MONDAY or FRIDAY to FRIDAY (7 nights); "FRIDAY to FRIDAY to MONDAY" (10 nights) or "MONDAY to MONDAY to FRIDAY" (11 nights) and extended stay discounts (14, 21 + 28 nights). There is FLEXIBILITY on this, but usually only at the LAST MINUTE or as below ...

CHECK-IN: can be on any day, but the cleaning day is fixed, so if you have ALREADY booked your flight and it doesnt fit our changeover days above, do CHECK competitors prices as it can still be cheaper for you to stay here + pay for the odd night either side, than choose a nearby hotel or alternative for the exact dates you need.

  • “A Well-located and very well appointed apartment in Centre Point House, an excellent accommodation. Located next door to the beautiful St. Giles Church near Covent Garden, the apartment is close to so much. The apartment is spacious and very well appointed: plenty of good seating, with good reading lights, good beds, very nice linens, and a well-equipped kitchen and dining area that made our meals in a pleasure. Si James was very helpful and informative about the apartment and about local shopping and banking. The apartment made a huge contribution to our comfort and enjoyment of our stay in London.”

  • Our family very much enjoyed our stay here! It was exactly what we were hoping for in a London flat. Simon was very nice and very informative (thanks for the suggestion of Savoir Faire, it was wonderful). The flat was clean and well kept, and the size was perfect; it was terrific to be able to spread out on two floors. We enjoyed being so near Oxford Street and all of the hustle and bustle of the city. The supermarket was an easy walk, even when carrying enough food for our two boys and us. It is close to the tube station – a very central tube station at that. All of the London sites we wanted to see were within two tube stops. There is a lot of construction in the area, but the apartment is soundproofed well and therefore did not bother us at all. We will definitely stay here again when we return to London. Thanks you!
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Thanks for being great guests and looking after the apartment. Savoir Faire right near the British Museum and approx 3 minutes walk from the flat is our top-rated restaurant by our guests, so its good to know its still on form. The construction will continue for a while and make Tottenham Court Road tube ultra modern and accessible as a whole new line called Crossrail is added to London's underground network. On the whole construction noise isn't too bad, and is daytime, but we added secondary glazing in all rooms to ensure our guests were comfortable. It also keeps the flats much warmer in winter. Please come again!

  • My partner and I brought our mothers to London for a week in January, 2009, and stayed in one of these apartments. We got just the apartment we were led to think we would get--no unpleasant surprises. Si was very easy going, gracious and helpful. The location is great, and having an apartment was so much nicer than being confined to a couple hotel rooms, which would have cost much more. The grocery stores were a very easy walk from the apartment and the tube station extremely close (especially after we learned to come up out of the Tottenham Court tube stop at New Oxford Street South exit). We plan to recommend this place to our friends. The only quibble we'd have is that only half of the laundry machines were working, causing a bit of delay. There is a fair amount of construction nearby but the apartment was well soundproofed and we were never awakened or disturbed by any noise. (BTW, if you want to come into London in a Taxi, the taxi from the stand at Heathrow, charging the metered rate, ended up costing 65 pounds at a slow time of night--on the return, we reserved a taxi from Bloomsbury cars for 49 pounds and the service was great.)

  • We just returned from our ten-day stay here and would higly recommend it to other travelers. First of all, Simon is so friendly and helpful; he does an excellent job in managing this property. The location can't be beat. The tube stop is right there, but pretty much everything you come to London to see is also right there. We saved lots of money on taxis and tube because we walked everywhere. The very fun neighborhood is also very safe; we strolled home late from dinner and theatre many nights. Endless choices for delicious yet reasonably priced dinners. Full-service grocery store just a few steps away too. Given the current exchange rate, this is a big plus. The rooms are spacious, light and airy, very clean, quiet, and well supplied. Super comfy beds! The laundry facilities allowed us to pack light and carry-on our luggage. And what a pleasure to enjoy that first morning coffee on the balcony as the city wakes up!

  • We have just returned from a 15 night stay here and have nothing but positive comments. Simon was the perfect host, being a phone call away if needed. The apartment was beautiful and contained many amenities, including internet access and many channels on the cable TV (which kept our two teens busy when we were not out exploring London). You are truly in the center of London with this location and we would return to this 'base' for any future extended stays in London. Thank you Simon, for a truly great vacation!
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Thank you for your comments Eric. It was a delight to meet you and your family and thank you so much for looking after the apartment so well!

  • Just got back from 2 weeks in the U.K. and spent the first week in the apt. in London. Everything was just great and Simon was wonderful! The location was perfect. Our only complaint was the weather was TOO HOT! Thankfully, there were 3 fans in the apt. so we slept fine. I would definitely book this apt. again.
    
    Homeowner Response:
    Nancy and Family were great tenants/rentors and I would definitely be happy to welcome them back and recommend them to other landlords/owners! Simon James

  • Had a lovely week staying here. The location is perfect--could walk to many theaters. Very spacious for a family of four--appreciated that the bedrooms were upstairs and there is a full bath plus a half bath. Modern and comfortable with a lovely view off the terrace. Simon is great and was a pleasure to deal with both before our trip and during. We would definitely stay there again on a future trip.

    Excellent central location! The maid service mid-week was very nice – really freshened the place up. Kitchen was wonderful! Very efficient and well-equipped with a great view. It was nice having the sleeping area upstairs from the living area – with 4 guests we were able to have privacy when needed yet plenty of social space as well. We were pleased with the apartment. The location was so convenient and the view was fabulous. We were able to walk to many great restaurants and bars in Soho and Covent Garden (Il Forno, Rodos Greek Restaurant, First Out Café)
