Map & Owner's Profile
Luxury Central London Apartment, Next to Tube Station.
Year Purchased: 2001
Why the Owner Chose City of London
This flat was new in 1999 and finished to a high standard. It has wonderful views of the city of London. It is next to Old Street Tube station on the Northern line and has excellent bus services from outside the front door. We never bring a car to London as it is too congested, so easy public transport was important to us. The location is within a short walk of dozens of restaurants, supermarkets, shops, pubs and coffee bars and is close to the trendy night time areas of Clerkenwell, Hoxton and Shoreditch.
The Unique Benefits at this 6th floor apartment
The friendly concierge at the "front desk". Sitting on the balcony watching the city activity below. Hopping on the bus to the West End and getting a half price ticket for the theatre that night. Walking to the nearby Columbia Road Flower Market on a Sunday morning (a charming piece of old London that escaped the blitz). Walking to the nearby Barbican Centre for a world class classical concert. Enjoying excellent coffee and cakes in the Cafe Nero coffee shop just outside the front door. Walking to Marks & Spencers to buy gourmet foods.
Owner's Map of City of London
Philip and Derek are in the travel business and often make trips to London for business and cultural events. We decided to buy our own place in central London and to rent it to others when we are not using it. We use it about three or four times a year. We needed a home that was secure and easy to look after with 24 hour "front desk" service so we could come and go at any time of day or night.
