About this property

The Center Of The Center! Covent Garden Yds From The Piazza

The apartment is a spacious 65 sq metres / 700 sq foot two-bedroom apartment with one and a half bathrooms, a separate living room & separate kitchen on historic, pedestrian only, (but quiet) Floral Street in Covent Garden. The absolute center of London’s Theater Land. It is a lovely, comfortable apartment furnished in an inviting, traditional style. It has only recently been refurbished so fixtures, furniture and fittings are all of high quality and recently installed.
Master Bedroom has a Super King size bed (180 x 210cm/6ft double). 2nd Bedroom has a standard double bed (135 x 210cm / 4½ ft double) with a Tempur memory mattress.
We can put up in the lounge the single inflatable Aerobed. It's dimensions: 188 x 99 x 46 cm / 74” x 39” x 18” & it supports weight: 136 kg / 300 lbs (US).
Large Living room with dining area. Fully equipped large kitchen. This apartment is pretty much fully equipped and the location!
The flat is located on the third (fourth in American English) floor of a 1985 brick building of high quality and attractive design.
There is an elevator (lift) & you enter the hallway with walk-in cupboard to store your suitcases , etc. Off the hallway is a large dining and living room with polished wood floors and oriental rug. A formal dining table can seat up to six.
There are two sofas &, a flat screen Smart TV and Wifi internet, digital radio, Sony music centre.
The Kitchen is large and has all the normal appliances i.e. microwave, dishwasher, washing machine & tumble dryer.
There are individually controlled radiators in both the 2 bedrooms and living (reception) room, hallway and bathroom, and the flat is well insulated (with double glass panes).
There is one full bathroom including shower, tub, sink, commode, bidet, and the second bathroom has a sink and commode.
The kitchen is large and is a separate room with all electric appliances including refrigerator, freezer, cooktop, oven, microwave, dishwasher, washer machine and separate dryer in utility cupboard. Plus a filter coffee maker, a Nespresso machine & aero to warm the milk, kettle & toaster. There is china, glassware, flatware, pots and pans--and a tea set; teapot with sugar bowl & matching cups.
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.
Our Check in time is after 16:00 and we are happy to check you in later but please note if you wish to arrive after 20:00 we reserve the right to charge a Late arrival fee.

Wonderful!
Our family of two adults and two teenagers spent five days at this wonderful apartment in the Covent Garden neighborhood of London, and we could not have asked for a better experience! Linda and Ann were both very responsive to our questions by text, and they sent wonderful detailed instructions about the apartment and the neighborhood ahead of time. Linda also met us at the apartment when we arrived to show us how to use everything and to answer any further questions. The apartment is so well stocked with a washer, dryer, dishwasher, extra inflatable bed, multiple tea and coffee maker options, and numerous other much appreciated items! The bakery and cafe just a few steps from the front door was perfect for breakfast! There are numerous restaurants nearby in every direction. The neighborhood is beautiful and the street is quiet, despite being so close to the theater district and within walking distance of everything we wanted to see and do during our time in London. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect location or a more inviting and cozy home base in the city! We hope to return again someday.

Wonderful Flat!
Great apartment in the heart of Covent Garden. Best location near shops, restaurants and around the corner from tube. Perfect for a family of four. Ann and Linda were exceptional throughout the entire process and very accommodating. I would stay again in a heartbeat and strongly recommend to anyone looking for a larger flat in a great location.

London/Covent Garden
17a Floral street is a top shelf apartment in the middle of Covent Garden. Close to three easily walkable tube stations. Quiet at night despite being so central because no traffic is allowed on the street after early morning delivery trucks make drop offs. Security is excellent. Kitchen very well stocked. Got early access since arrived at noon which was kind of owner. Not inexpensive but so well located you save on transportation costs since you can walk to so many locations. Washer/Dryer work as do all other amenities listed. Large space which is really great. So glad we stayed there versus a Mayfair area hotel because we got so much more efficient use of our time staying right in the middle of the middle of Covent Garden. West end theaters almost all within walking distance as well as Top Secret comedy club and lots lots more. This place may be the best rentable flat in Covent Garden..it’s expensive but not ridiculously so..most importantly it is good value for your money in my opinion. Hosts were VERY responsive and easy to communicate with by text. Voice calls too if needed I’m sure but I did not need that. Highly recommend!

Perfect Flat when exploring London
This is a great 2 bedroom flat in a prime location- Covent Garden. It was close to many attractions and restaurants which one could either walk to or take a short tube ride to get to their destination. The flat was clean, well kept, and you could tell Ann and Linda take pride in the rental. The communication was great, they answered any questions we had before arriving. We are a family of 4 and everyone felt like they had their own space and enough room to feel comfortable. The flat was well stocked with anything we could need and we always felt safe walking around the area both day and night. Thank you for having such a great place that we could rent for 4 nights. I would highly recommend this rental to anyone.

Simply The BEST!
My husband 2 children and I stayed for a week and loved it! The flat is perfectly located close to everything a tourist wants to do and without the constant nighttime noise of a big city! Such a hidden gem! The king bed is a real king! And comfortable. The second bedroom bed was so comfortable too! Nothing beats the communication from Linda and Ann! They were fabulous and to have a person actually greet us upon arrival was spectacular. Linda went through everything with us, detailed. Small amenities- like paper towels and toilet paper- were provided! The welcome book has everything you would ever need in it. Also, be sure to checkout the cafe Chestnut that is just about 25 years from the front door! They are fabulous folks and so kind with delicious food!!! This was our first trip to London and when we return we will stay here again! The service was Ritz Carlton level with a comfy flat stay! It truly made our vacation!

Wonderful location and apartment for London stay
We really enjoyed our stay here. The apartment is as described. David met us at the apartment, and we were able to get in ahead of the check in time. He gave us a great orientation to the apartment, answered all of our questions, and pointed us to area pharmacies, grocery stores, etc. It was also very easy to communicate with Ann and Linda also. The tube station is literally down the street, and it's very convenient to use it to get to and from Heathrow and around town in general. Covent Garden is such great location. It's very easy to walk to many places from there. Lots of restaurants and stores are within a few minutes' walk. I would definitely stay here again.

Awesome Experience!
The management, the place, the neighborhood = perfect. Lovely vibe in the area. So quaint and cute. Bakeries, markets, restaurants and pubs everywhere all walking distance. The flat was right near two easy train stops. Close to lots of tourist things to do as well as non touristy things to do. There was literally endless things to do without even taking the train. The owner and her colleague were so nice and welcoming and patient with all my questions. She helped us with getting to and from the airport and all kinds of random questions along the way. She not only helped us with every little thing, but she WANTED and ENJOYED helping us with everything. The flat was clean and comfortable. The washer and drier was useful so we could pack less. They let us drop off our bags and brush our teeth before official check in. This place was awesome and we would totally stay here again next time in London!

Very nice apartment, great location
Very nice apartment tucked away on a pretty pedestrian-only street in center of Covent Garden. Great area for walking to shops, restaurants and easy access to 2 tube stations. Apartment was clean with well equipped kitchen and comfy beds. Decent shower with plenty of hot water. We had some travel problems which meant check in was a bit more complicated than the planned in-person meet-and-greet, but it worked within any problems. Ann and her staff were very communicative and went above and beyond expectations to accommodate our needs. Our stay was out of peak visitor season (the best time to visit London) and it was good value for 2 couples. Overall a great experience. I would definitely recommend to others and stay there again.

Fabulous stay, well worth it
Booking process and everything leading up to check in: Ann was in communication soon after booking confirmation as to what to know and expect and only reached out when necessary thereafter (all about making our stay more enjoyable). We were also allowed to check in earlier, which was very helpful. Once announced, Ann also let us know about the scheduled worker strikes in the UK that were scheduled on our departure date, giving us plenty of time to make alternate transport arrangements. Check in day: We met with her associate at the scheduled time, and she was ready for us. Everything was explained in full detail and we were never rushed. Very simple, very easy. Property: It has everything you need for your stay. Beds are very comfortable. Large living/dining area and the kitchen was big and had everything you needed for a big home cooked meal. Property is a few floors up, there is an elevator which worked reliably. Building is well kept and very clean. 2 locked doors to get into the building, seems very safe. Pictures accurately reflect everything. Location: If you want to be right where everything is in London, with most in a short walking distance, this is your place. Leicester Square and Covent Garden tube stations are both less than a five minute walk away. Top notch stores, restaurants and awesome pubs surround you- so much to see and do right outside your door- which is a beautiful pedestrian street filled with many high end shops. I have nothing bad to say about this stay at all. If this is how Ann runs and treats any of her properties that she offers, I would stay at any of them without hesitation.

About the host

Hosted by Ann Hutcheson

Host profile image
Ann is a londoner born and bred. After several years living in France she came to the conclusion that there was no point in living out of the center of London since when she 'came to town' she simply didn't have the time or the energy to spend time either in the car or on public transport.

Why they chose this property

Floral Street (as its name suggests) was the main street in the old Covent Garden flower market. It is about as central as you can get if you want to be in the London of theaters. museums, art galleries, music and restaurants. As well as its superb location the apt is in a well looked after building with an elevator. Floral Street is pedestrian/taxi only.

What makes this property unique

The benefits of being here are simply too numerous to list - suffice it to say that if your interests are in any way cultural or gastronomic you are where you need to be if you are visiting London! You are within a short walk of (amongst hundreds of other things) The Royal Opera, The British Museum,The National Gallery,Royal Festival Hall, National Theatre, Colosseum Theatre, Tin-Pan Alley, Westminster Abbey, Trafalgar Sqaure, House of Parliament, Big Ben, St Paul's Cathedral, Oxford Street with the famous Selfridges department store and all the other british shops and so much more.......
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 line) & Leicester Square Underground ("tube") are both around the corner (half a black away) & 10 minutes to Holborn(Central & Piccadilly lines). Also Embankment (circle and district lines) and Charing Cross (Bakerloo & Northern lines). Plus at Charing Cross trains to many parts of Great Britain.
