在Clerkenwell顶层公寓品尝清新的天际景观
Relax into high-rise living with breakfast on the 1500 square feet of wraparound terrace overlooking virtually every London landmark. Sunshine pours in to this contemporary space from the triple aspect floor-to-ceiling windows, while historic taverns and numerous eateries are within easy walking distance. A surprisingly peaceful oasis so close to the centre.
If you would like to make a reservation please tell me about yourselves and others who would be staying.
This is high-rise living at its most spectacular. Sunshine pours in from the triple aspect floor-to-ceiling windows, and with it, a view that takes in nigh on every major London landmark; St Paul’s Cathedral, The London Eye, The Gherkin, Tate Modern,The Telecom Tower, Canary Wharf… There's a 1500 (YES 1500) sq foot wrap around terrace to enjoy the views and outdoor dining throughout the summer
Even if splendid vistas were all that was on offer, you’d be moving in. But turn your back on the windows and you’ll find two very large double bedrooms, an enormous open plan living space equipped with beautiful leather furniture and an ultra-modern kitchen. Fully furnished, including large screen plasma TV, wifi and luxury finishings with lots of storage space. Kitchen is fully fitted - toaster, microwave, fridge, freezer, washer/dryer, dishwasher, oven.
And when your feet touch the ground again, you’ll discover that you’re right in zone 1. A brisk walk can have you wandering in Piccadilly, Covent Garden or Trafalgar Square passing the British Museum, The National Gallery or the British Library on the way. Or Tate Modern, St Paul's Cathedral, the Tower of London, the SouthBank Centre, all the theatres and opera, the choice is entirely yours; take a Boris bike, or a bus from outside the door and the sights of London are all less than 10 minutes away.
Clerkenwell was where London’s watchmakers plied their trade, now, you can pick up some jewellery in nearby Hatton Garden, or pad over to historic Smithfield for a meal at the Michelin starred St John. Surprisingly serene for such a central location, Clerkenwell boasts a number of historic taverns and eateries, including London’s original gastropub, The Eagle. Pick up coffee and a cake on pretty Exmouth Market before browsing the book and record shops, and then, perhaps on to Angel to hang with the trendy Islingtonites?
The apartment accommodates 2 couples in 2 double beds (master is UK king size).
Access to all areas.
The building sits on the corner of Islington, Clerkenwell, and Exmouth Market, which are are all really exciting areas to explore with abundant shopping and dining. The British Museum, the British Library, and Covent Garden are all an easy walk away.
2 minutes to 19 and 38 bus. They come EVERY minute and take you to Covent Garden, Piccadilly and Knightsbridge. Many other bus routes close by. Angel tube is 7 minutes walk. Kings X, Farringdon, Chancery Lane, Russell Square tubes are all a 15 minute walk. You can walk easily to the British Museum, The British Library, Covent Garden ...... Sign up for Uber and nothing is far away at low cost because it's so central
The bedrooms are very bright with skylights. The curtains are sheer so you may wish to have eye masks if light bothers you in the morning.
I am surprised to find another apartment in this building being advertised on Airbnb for £50 a night more - it is half the size, has no terrace (I have 1500 sq ft!), no views and faces north (I am south.. and east and west - so sunrise and sunset) It is run by a management company with no personal interaction and keys need to be collected at a distant location. Astonishingly it is rented far more than my home... so if you have found my listing you are truly getting a marvellous deal ;-)))
