Drury Lane Garden

Bright and functional, this long second-floor apartment is newly renovated with fresh paint, carpets and contemporary furniture. There’s a lovely dining area in the conservatory – optimistically called a ‘‘sun room’ – plus a modern kitchen, good beds, rain showers and Xbox games to play. You’ve even got your own front door, through which both Covent Garden and Somerset House are close by.

Home truths:
* This flat is located on the first floor and requires stairs to access it
* Despite its name, this home does not have a garden
* The conservatory does not give access to an outdoor space
* The flat is simple and practical if you're looking for grandeur this is not it.
* It can take 6 but it's perfect for 4.
* The location is very central and it could be noisy.
