About this property

Penthouse with Rooftop Overlooking British Museum

Summary:
BLOOMSBURY ESTATES PRESENTS our Penthouse, the absolute crowning glory of number 39, with its high vaulted ceilings and exquisitely decorated rooms, this apartment must be seen to be believed. Situated across three floors and capable of accommodating 10 guests, the Penthouse also boasts a rooftop balcony with unbeatable views overlooking the British Museum, as well as an outdoor patio accessed from the kitchen.

The Space:
The unique and charming design throughout the Penthouse is reflective of its owner, a well-known property designer in the area, with each room offering a contrasting taste and a meticulous attention to detail. The Penthouse occupies the second, third and fourth floors of this Georgian Townhouse. On the second floor you will find the three main bedrooms and bathrooms. The third floor accommodates the large living/dining area and open plan kitchen, with the adjoining sun terrace to the rear. On the fourth floor you will find the mezzanine/office area and rooftop, with views over the British Museum. The artwork in the property is unique and some pieces are a little edgy.

Nice place, great location.
The house was very nice and the location was great. It was very hot during our stay and the flat has no air conditioning, but we kept the windows open and used the fans provided which really helped.

Fantastic Spot
Great, cool, artistic flat in a great part of town. We thoroughly enjoyed it. The only criticism is that the internet went out and, despite requests, it was not fixed.

Family Christmas
Enjoyed our Christmas stay at the Penthouse. Plenty of room for 5 of us. Convenient to the Tube and easy walking distance to many areas and attractions. Bedrooms are a good size. Kitchen is well equipped and plenty of seating. L'Or coffee pods for the espresso machine. Even had a Christmas tree lit up. The master bedroom has some street noise so bring earplugs if a light sleeper. No issues with shower hot water or pressure. Great to be able to check in a little earlier. As others have noted there are some stairs to climb, but you get used to them quickly and also provide good exercise. Building seemed safe and secure. Easy to pick up groceries nearby. The outdoor patios and seating would be fun on warmer days. Easy to get Uber/taxi to the address and its side street with luggage. Thanks!

Unique flat close across from the British Museum
This 3 level apartment provided our family with a great base for exploring London. Close enough to walk to many of our destinations it was roomy with 3 bedrooms and 2 convertible sofas. The property manager was responsive when we had questions (look behind the sofas for the linens!) and made the check-in very easy. The 2 decks made for wonder extended space for our large group.

London Stay
We enjoyed the location of the property. It was quiet and near several restaurants and shopping, the Underground, The British Museum, and other sights are in walking or Uber distance. We had a great time in London. Be prepared to walk up a lot of steps to get to the penthouse and from level to level. There is no lift/elevator.

4 floors apartment
There is no elevator in this 4 story building and our bedrooms were on the 3rd floor, it is extremely difficult to carry the luggage all the way! There is also a very ancient fire alarm system and the were no way to turn it off, so we’ve had a visit of firefighters
