Elegant Soho 2-bed, bright Victorian apartment with lift, walk to Covent Garden

Welcome to my two-bedroom home in the heart of Soho, a space I’ve designed to feel calm, bright and comfortable despite being in one of London’s most lively and vibrant neighbourhoods.

The apartment is set on the fourth floor of a beautiful listed Victorian building with lift access, which is a rare and valuable feature in central London. It combines period character with modern comfort, offering generous proportions and a peaceful atmosphere while being moments away from everything Soho has to offer.

The living room is the heart of the home, filled with natural light from large windows and enhanced by high ceilings with original decorative detailing. The space feels open, elegant and inviting, and is ideal for relaxing after a day exploring the city. There is a comfortable seating area, a dining table, and a characterful fireplace, creating a space that works equally well for quiet evenings or shared meals.

There are two well-proportioned bedrooms. The main bedroom features a king-size bed and built-in wardrobes, while the second bedroom offers a queen-size bed and additional storage. Both rooms are designed to be simple, calm and comfortable, providing a restful environment for a good night’s sleep.

The apartment includes a fully equipped modern kitchen with everything needed for cooking at home, including an oven, hob, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine. This makes it particularly convenient for longer stays, allowing you to settle in and feel at home.

The bathroom is clean and modern, with a walk-in shower and all essential amenities.

For entertainment and connectivity, the apartment offers high-speed WiFi throughout and a television with Apple TV in the living room.

One of the things I love most about the apartment is its location. Soho is one of London’s most exciting and characterful areas, known for its restaurants, cafés, theatres and atmosphere. You are surrounded by some of the best dining and entertainment options in the city, with everything right on your doorstep.

The Harry Potter theatre is directly opposite the apartment, and Covent Garden, Chinatown and Leicester Square are all within three minutes on foot. Whether you are visiting for theatre, food, shopping or simply to explore, you are perfectly positioned to experience central London.

Despite this incredibly central location, the apartment remains a calm and comfortable place to return to at the end of the day.

The apartment is very easy to reach by public transport. Tottenham Court Road and Leicester Square stations are both around a 4 minute walk away, providing access to multiple Underground lines. Tottenham Court Road also offers direct access to Heathrow via the Elizabeth line, with a journey time of approximately 45 minutes.

For guests arriving from Paris via Eurostar, St Pancras International is also very convenient, with a direct Underground connection to Leicester Square in around 10 minutes.

Guests have full access to the entire apartment during their stay. The building has a secure entrance with a buzzer system, and lift access to the fourth floor.

I want you to feel at home during your stay and enjoy the apartment as much as I do. I am always available if you need anything or would like recommendations for the area, while otherwise leaving you to enjoy the space independently.

The apartment is professionally cleaned and carefully prepared before each stay, and additional cleaning can be arranged during longer visits if required.

As this is my home within a residential building, I kindly ask guests to be respectful of neighbours, particularly in the evenings.

For those interested in London’s literary history, the building carries a quiet but distinctive connection to literature. It is said to be “The Circus” in John le Carré’s Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, lending a sense of intrigue and character to its surroundings.

It also sits two doors down from 84 Charing Cross Road, the former bookshop immortalised in Helene Hanff’s “84 Charing Cross Road”, a personal favourite of mine. The book was later adapted into a film starring Anthony Hopkins and Judi Dench. I always leave a copy of the book in the flat for guests who may wish to discover it during their stay.
