Cool 2-bed penthouse, with a 40 sqm terrace, stunning views on the city

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!

Who loves it: business travellers; solo travellers; families with kids; couples or friends visiting London for the weekend;

At your doorstep: the Barbican; Guildhall school of music; Smithfields; Shoreditch; Kingscross St Pancrass; Sandlers Wells; Bank of England;

Modern, well-appointed
The apartment had everything we needed. If the weather had cooperated, it would have been great to spend more time on the terrace. Very walkable area. Try Kennedy's for fish and chips (and other good entrees) - delicious food and very friendly staff.

Enjoyable Stay
We enjoyed our recent stay at this property. Thanks to the owner for communicating promptly, especially as our arrival was a little different to normal. Four persons is a squeeze, but the couch worked as a bed. Beds were comfortable, the kitchen was great (note that the range hood is very low and I kept banging my head, you would think I would have learned). The stairs are quite steep and narrow, your blood will really be pumping by the time you get to the top. And the local area there is every type of cuisine you might desire and as an added bonus a weekday lunch market operates with 30 or so different foods for under £10 or so. Most buses you need are a five minute walk and the tube, typically from the Barbican which is a 10 minute walk. It’s very close to central London proper so you can enjoy the touristy trips with ease. All in all, good value and a great location.

Great!
This was a perfect place for our family of four to stay. We enjoyed the area and could easily get around the city from this spot. Milena was an excellent host and always quick to respond. We could tell that she genuinely wanted us to enjoy our stay. We talked about getting a hotel room, but so glad we didn’t.

Barbican Heaven
A fantastic place to stay in a great neighbourhood where people....and not only tourists exist. Waitrose is just down the street for all your grocery needs. 2 pubs (locals) are less than 2 min away. Stay here and ride the Tube from Old Street or Barbican and better yet, ride the NEW Elizabeth line to Farringdon for a short walk to the apartment. Milena was super great to work with. You will love this.
