Covent Garden’s Secret, by Veeve

If you’re visiting London and want to catch all the sights that the capital has to offer, there are not many places better than Covent Garden to stay. This one-bedroom home’s location in the heart of the celebrated neighbourhood is second to none: it’s less than a minute away from the tube station, and a similar distance to the eponymous Covent Garden market. Plus, if you’re a fan of live performances, the plethora of theatres in the area is sure to keep you delighted.

Take the lift up to the top floor and enter the apartment to be greeted by a characterful hallway more reminiscent of a townhouse than an apartment. At the end, the living room opens up to welcome you: the windows at the end of the room illuminate the dining table for four and the desk that sits in its immediate vicinity. Nearby, a sumptuous L-shaped sofa invites you in after a long day of walking around central London, ready for you to switch on the TV for a night of entertainment. The room is adorned with colourful art and a large ornate mirror, elongating the space and making it feel even more spacious.

The kitchen lies beyond, and is simultaneously sleek and functional. Lit by a big window that looks out to the surrounding rooftops of Covent Garden, it comes stocked with all the amenities you’d need for a banquet.

The bedroom can be found through the hallway. The double bed is stylish and inviting, with a plush velvet headboard setting the tone for the room. The large windows nearby bring in plenty of light, and provide views out to the street below and iconic brick buildings of Covent Garden.

The bathroom is adjacent, and boasts ample space and a vibrant atmosphere: its sandy, stone-like tiling evokes a Spanish feel. You’ll find a walk-in shower, toilet and wash basin in here.
