BnBNova – 1BR – Piccadilly Circus & Trafalgar Square

First Impressions

BnBNova – 1BR – Piccadilly Circus & Trafalgar Square sits right on Oxendon Street, which honestly couldn’t be more central if you tried. I mean, you’re literally walking distance from two of London’s biggest landmarks, and the energy here is just infectious. This four-star place feels like someone’s really thoughtful take on what a modern traveler actually wants — not flashy, but smart and well-executed.

Location & Neighborhood

The location is actually ridiculous in the best way possible. You step out the door and Piccadilly Circus is right there with all its neon chaos, while Trafalgar Square is maybe a three-minute stroll in the other direction. What I love though is that Oxendon Street itself stays relatively quiet — you get all the excitement without the constant tourist crowds right outside your window. The theatres are so close you could practically roll out of bed for a West End show, and there’s this great little cluster of pubs and cafés that locals actually use.

The Apartment

The one-bedroom setup here really works well — it’s got that proper apartment feel rather than just being another hotel room. The kitchen is compact but honestly has everything you need if you want to grab groceries from the Tesco Metro down the street and cook something simple. I appreciated having a proper dining area too, which sounds basic but you’d be surprised how many places skip that entirely. The bedroom’s got good blackout curtains, which you’ll definitely need with all the West End lights outside.

Practical Details

What strikes me about this place is how they’ve thought through the little things that matter. The WiFi actually works properly (always a gamble in older London buildings), and there’s decent storage space for your stuff. The bathroom’s modern and the water pressure’s solid — again, not glamorous details but the kind of things that make your stay smooth. You know what’s also nice? The building feels secure and well-maintained, which gives you peace of mind when you’re coming back late from shows or dinners.

Why Guests Love It

This place hits that sweet spot where you’re staying somewhere that feels authentically London without being touristy. The 8.8 rating makes total sense when you consider you’re getting apartment-style independence right in Zone 1, with Leicester Square tube station practically on your doorstep. It’s the kind of place where you can duck in between sightseeing, drop your shopping bags, maybe grab a quick coffee, then head back out to explore. For the location and what you’re getting, it feels like really good value — especially when West End hotel prices can get pretty steep.

Early hotels booking in London secures West End tickets, rooftop cocktail nights, and small-group afternoon tea sessions.
