About this property

Nice flat in a Victorian Bank building in great part of historic London

Nicely designed third floor apartment with high ceilings, located in a beautiful former 1800's Bank Building from the Victorian era, overlooking a park and the historical Smithfield Market. The apartment has a bright living room with lots of light, a kitchen area, a double bedroom and a bathroom with shower.
.
The location also has the fantastic fine dining and cafe culture of Smithfield and Clerkenwell on its doorstep with traditional pubs, Michelin-starred restaurants, many cafes and great options for family or late night dining. It is a perfect location for enjoying London, with all the famous landmarks very nearby. Museum of London and the original Roman city walls are 4 minutes walk away, St. Pauls Cathedral just 600 meters. A short walk further brings you across the Millennium footbridge over the Thames to the Tate Modern Museum and attractions near London Bridge and Tower Bridge.

There is a double bed in the bedroom, and in the living room there is a double bed too. Both rooms are private and can be closed off completely. The bathroom in the apartment is accessible separately from both spaces.

For transport, just a short walk to both Barbican (180 m) and Farringdon Underground Stations (3 min) with the new Elizabeth Line and has direct links to Luton, Gatwick, Stansted and Heathrow airports.

Culture and Attractions: You will enjoy the many cultural attractions nearby, including Barbican Center for Theatre, Art and Dance - Europe's largest multi-arts venue and home to the London Symphony Orchestra is a 3 minute walk (300 meters); British Museum, Portrait Gallery, and many other venues within minutes. The location is ideal for quick access to the trendy Hoxton and Shoreditch areas.

Very nice flat - perfect for a small family
We enjoyed our stay very much. The flat is perfectly situated. Many sights can be explored by foot. The flat is cosy and fully equipped. The hosts are very nice. Tiny criticism: Some renovation would be nice sooner or later. Kitchen and flooring are soon to be worn out.

Great stay
This stay was fantastic. Rolf and Mok were very easy to communicate with and the flat was perfect. Great location, east access to several train lines and restaurants. A great stay for my two teen age daughters and myself.

Good value for money
Excellent location and nicely appointed. Didn’t notice noise from Smithfield Market as long as the windows were shut. Definitely mind the warnings about the lift as it’s very sensitive (3 of us ended up getting stuck at one point), but in general we had a very positive experience. Great base for exploring London, and it’s easily accessible to Heathrow via the Elizabeth Line. Would stay there again!
