About this apartment rental
Life in the City - your home away from home in Central London!
A cool top floor penthouse apartment offering 110 sqm of living space, including a 40 sqm decked terrace overlooking the financial city. You'll be in the heart of the city - the buzz (and delicious food) of the market street below by day, the quiet you need to rest by night.
The penthouse is a newly built conversion on top of what used to be a pub-house (turned into a cool and lively cafe) and is great both for business visitors to London (walking distance to the City, 2 stops from Kings Cross), as well as tourists (a 10 min walk to St. Paul's and from there take the tube to Oxford street or cross the river over to the Tate Modern for example).
The 40 sqm decked terrace of the flat with expansive views on the City is what makes this place special and is a great end of day destination and a nice brunch/lunch spot any time of the week (London weather permitting).
The master bedroom has a king-size bed, the smaller bedroom has a reclining sofa, that can sleep two. The bathroom has a bathtub as well as a separate shower.
Fully equipped kitchen, including a blender (great for smoothies any time of day), juice press (to satisfy your thirst for fresh orange juice) and a Nespresso coffee machine to help you wake up in the morning. A large oven and stove as well as a microwave, for those who feel the need to cook at home, although there are a bunch of great places at your doorstep (Turkish, sushi, Vegan, Thai, Indian, Italian, Ramen noodles and more).
For groceries, Waitrose supermarket is just down the street.
Please note, the penthouse is situated on the top (3rd) floor of an old pub house conversion. As such, there is no lift in the building, not recommended for guests who may have mobility problems. The flip side of the walk up the stairs are the sweeping views of the city from the large outdoor space of the terrace.
Walking distance to St. Paul's cathedral, Tate Modern, Tower bridge, etc. Close to 3 metro stops/5 metro lines: Barbican, Old Street and St. Paul's.
Open market on Whitecross is fun and delicious!

Great location away from the craziness of the more touristy areas but only a 7 minute walk to Old Station. The terrace and subsequent view was as fantastic as it is rare. Nice quiet, cool mornings and evenings with a coffee or beer. Worth it for a summer visit. The climb to the flat is real with heavy luggage for those who may be physically compromised, but it’s the price you pay for privacy and the lovely penthouse view. Kitchen was well equipped and the beds were comfortable. The AC in the main room struggled to keep up with the heatwave we encountered. But luckily Milena provided three small fans to place in the bedrooms which helps quite a bit. The weekday market just outside the front door was great for grabbing a quick meal for lunch. Lots of restaurants and pubs within 2 blocks. Waitrose grocery is a 2 minute walk. The 2nd bed room would likely be too cramped for two adults. Best stay for a couple and 1 older/larger or two young children. The master however is much roomier. Overall, very happy with our stay for the three of us. I would gladly stay at Melina’s place again.
