Sash & Piazza

Set opposite Covent Garden Piazza, this apartment puts one of London's most beloved squares three minutes from your door – close enough to catch the street performers, far enough that the wooden shutters keep things impressively peaceful inside. Floor-to-ceiling sash windows and original cast iron radiators give the place a distinct period character, and the underfloor heating in the bathroom is a quiet luxury on grey London mornings. The Strand is a two-minute walk, the National Gallery nine, and Leicester Square ten – a hard-to-beat base for anyone who wants the West End on their terms.
