Aspidistra Flying

Occupying a top-floor position, this handsome penthouse apartment puts you in the heart of Fitzrovia with countless cultural and historic landmarks within moments of your doorstep.

Slanted windows fill the open-plan living area in light, where a stylish contemporary decor welcomes you to relax and unwind. Make yourself at home on the plump sofa with a hot mug of Earl Grey and a good book. Alternatively, gather at the dining table for an evening of private dining – organised by your host – when you’re not out sampling the countless restaurants in your Central London locale.

The two bedrooms, meanwhile, are elegantly pared back with bright pops of colour in their artworks and soft furnishings, while the sleek metro-tiled bathroom guarantees to put a spring in your morning step with its luxurious rainfall shower.

When it comes to things to see and do nearby, stroll around the surrounding streets admiring their many historic blue plaque buildings, or head to the famous Fitzroy Tavern (a one-minute walk), once a meeting place for luminaries such as Nina Hamnett, Dylan Thomas and George Orwell. Those looking to shop will delight in the home’s proximity to bustling Oxford street (a three-minute walk), while culture seekers can make a beeline for the British Museum, a seven-minute stroll away. With Soho under a ten-minute walk away too, not to mention Covent Garden and Leicester Square fifteen minutes away on foot, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to fun and entertainment.
