Apt 1, Soho Apartments 1st floor by Indigo Flats

First Impressions

Apt 1, Soho Apartments 1st floor by Indigo Flats sits right on Wardour Street, which honestly feels like you’ve hit the jackpot for location. I mean, you’re literally in the heart of London’s most vibrant neighborhood — the kind of spot where you can hear the buzz of the city even from your room. This four-star property has that modern apartment vibe that makes you feel like a local rather than just another tourist passing through.

The Space

What struck me about this place is how they’ve managed to create a proper living space in the middle of all the Soho chaos. The kitchen setup is actually functional — not one of those tiny afterthoughts you sometimes get in city apartments. You know what I appreciated? The fact that it’s on the first floor, so no lugging suitcases up endless flights of stairs after a long day exploring the West End. The layout flows well, and there’s enough space to spread out without feeling cramped.

Soho at Your Doorstep

Being on Wardour Street puts you right where everything happens. Step outside and you’re surrounded by some of London’s best theaters, quirky independent shops, and that eclectic mix of old pubs and trendy cocktail bars that makes Soho special. Leicester Square is a quick walk, but honestly, you might find yourself spending more time just wandering the narrow streets around the apartment — there’s always something interesting happening. The energy here is infectious, though if you’re looking for peace and quiet, well, you’ve picked the wrong neighborhood.

Local Living Experience

What I really liked about staying here is how it doesn’t feel like a typical hotel experience. You’re living in an actual apartment in one of London’s most character-filled areas, complete with all the quirks that come with it. The 8.6 rating makes sense — it’s not trying to be flashy, just genuinely comfortable and well-positioned. Having your own space means you can grab groceries from the nearby markets and cook when you want, or venture out to one of the countless restaurants within walking distance.

Why Guests Love It

This place works because it gives you the best of both worlds — the independence of having your own apartment with the professional management you’d expect from a quality accommodation. You’re not dealing with hotel schedules or crowded lobbies, but you also know everything will be properly maintained and organized. For anyone who wants to experience London like a local while still being in the thick of the action, this spot on Wardour Street delivers exactly that.
