The apartment is on the top floor (third floor - no elevator) of a Victorian building in the fashionable heart of Soho close to Carnaby St. There are restaurants, galleries and street markets on the doorstep of this bright and stylish apartment. Unlike most London apartments, this is purpose built (and not a conversion) and therefore there is very good sound insulation between this and the neighbouring apartments. Large windows and a skylight ensure that the apartment is very bright. The architect designed apartment is very bright and surprisingly quiet at night despite being in the centre of London. There is a good sized sitting room containing a sofa-bed (which can serve as a double bed or two singles), a large dining table and six dining chairs. Two broad windows overlook the street which is lively during the day but quiet at night. The separate kitchen contains a gas four ring hob and an electric oven, a large fridge/freezer and cupboard space for utensils and food.

I'm a playwright and theatre director living between this apartment and a house in Surrey.

The apartment is in the heart of Soho - the most central part of London between Oxford Street and Piccadilly, with Theatre land to the East and Bond Street to the West. Based here you can do most of your sight seeing on foot. The immediate area is full of excellent restaurants and the fashionable shops on Carnaby Street. The apartment is five minutes walk from both Oxford Circus and Piccadilly Circus underground stations. Oxford Circus is 15 minutes on the Central line from Liverpool Street main line station (for Stansted Airport or South End Airport). Oxford Circus is also 10 minutes on the Bakerloo Line from Paddington (for the Heathrow Express). Oxford Circus is also 10 minutes on the Victoria line from Victoria Main Line station (for the Gatwick Express). And 10 minutes on the Victoria line from St Pancras (for Eurostar trains). Piccadilly Circus is ideal for the 40 minute Piccadilly line journey to Heathrow.
