Location is outstanding in the very central of London's Theatre district.
Many of London's treasures are within a short walk:
1 block to the spectacular new Royal Opera House (do take the backstage tour) NB The Royal Ballet School is on the same street as the flat.
7 minutes to the British Museum (see the newly restored Reading Room)
2-10 minutes to most West End Theatres, 10 minutes to the magnificent National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery (newly expanded), and the Courtauld; 15 minutes across Waterloo Bridge past views of The Eye (Ferris wheel) to the South Bank Centre with the National Theatre (3 stages), Royal Festival Hall (3 venues), Old Vic and Young Vic.
Floral Street, itself, is no longer the epicentre of the London flower market. Instead it has been turned into a pedestrian-only (except for your taxi) oasis of laid-back, ultra-cool fashion and hip. The apartment is just metres away from the central piazza of Covent Garden and its Opera, Ballet, buskers and designers. Floral street itself harbours Paul Smith and other designer shops, TK Max, an expresso coffee bar and one of London oldest Travel book store Stamfords.
Being at the centre of the centre of ‘Theatrical London’ means of course that transport links are superb and the range of shopping is mind-boggling.
There are 5 underground stations, all lines are within 5-15 minutes walk, many bus routes & of course the famous Black Cab taxis.
The Covent Garden (Piccadilly to Heathrow airport & Central line) & Leicester Square Underground ("tube") are both around the corner (half a black away), 5 minutes to & 10 minutes to Holborn. Also Embankment and Charing Cross (Bakerloo & Northern lines) with several underground lines. Plus at Charing Cross trains to many parts of Great Britain.
The select few people who are able to afford private accommodation in Floral Street include world-famous conductors, musicians, dancers & impresarios people for whom the location and the “buzz” are vital. We hope you too will feel just that bit ‘special’ in this very special location.
We look forward to welcoming you to London.
