Blue Swathe

Above a tailor shop on a quiet street in Fitzrovia, this Victorian studio apartment is in a perfect spot for those looking to explore Central London. Inside, you’ll find traditional touches like wood-panelled walls and an original fireplace coupled with modern furniture like a comfy sofa bed and a desk set up for a spot of remote working. A cosy apartment that’s perfect for solo travellers or a couple’s holiday, it does a lot with the space it has; there’s a fully-equipped kitchen and an armchair nook that’s ideal for relaxing with a paperback. Take a ten-minute stroll to Oxford Street’s famous shops or hop on the Piccadilly line to Hyde Park to feed the parakeets. Soho’s vibrant cafes and bars are just around the corner and the British Museum is a five-minute walk away.

Home truths:
* Long-term stays are welcome but you’ll be charged for a bi-monthly cleaner
* The only place to sleep is a double sofa bed
* This is a smaller studio apartment and there is no dining table
