Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Charing Cross Road One Bedroom on one of London’s most famous streets, you immediately get that “I’m in the thick of it” feeling. This four-star property sits right where the West End buzzes with energy — I mean, you’re literally surrounded by theaters, bookshops, and that unmistakable London atmosphere. The building itself has that classic London charm without being stuffy, and honestly, the location alone makes you feel like you’ve scored something special.

The Heart of Everything

You know what’s brilliant about this spot? Leicester Square is basically around the corner, Covent Garden is a two-minute stroll, and you can walk to the British Museum without breaking a sweat. I’ve stayed in plenty of London places that claim to be central, but this one actually delivers. The couples who stay here consistently rate the location a perfect 10, and after spending time in the area, I totally get why. You’re not just near things — you’re in the center of where London actually happens.

The Space Itself

The one-bedroom apartment setup works really well, especially if you’re planning to stay more than a night or two. There’s something nice about having your own space rather than just a hotel room — you can actually spread out and feel settled. The kitchen isn’t huge, but it’s perfectly functional for making morning coffee or storing those Marks & Spencer snacks you’ll inevitably pick up. The whole place feels more like a proper London flat than tourist accommodation, which I actually prefer.

Daily Life Here

What I love about staying on Charing Cross Road is how the neighborhood changes throughout the day. Mornings are relatively quiet — perfect for grabbing coffee and pastries from the nearby cafés. By afternoon, the street comes alive with theater-goers and shoppers, and evenings bring that magical West End energy. The bookshops along this stretch are legendary too — Foyles is right there, and you’ll find yourself browsing even if you didn’t plan to. There’s also decent parking options nearby if you’re brave enough to drive in central London, though honestly, you won’t need a car from this location.

Why Guests Love It

The 9.1 rating speaks for itself, but what really stands out is how this place lets you live like a local while being steps from major attractions. You’re not stuck in some tourist bubble — you’re on a real London street where actual Londoners go about their business. The combination of space, location, and that authentic London feel is pretty hard to beat. Whether you’re catching a show in the West End, exploring the museums, or just wandering through the city’s incredible neighborhoods, you’ll find yourself coming back to Charing Cross Road feeling like you’ve found your London base camp.

"Great location and clean comfortable apartment."
Perfect location. Lovely building. Very clean. Comfortable bed.
What could be improved: Light from fire escape comes through glass above bedroom door, a little blind on it would be great. Shower is not very powerful.

"Great apartment."
Location is fantastic, minute from tube station. With Leicester square, trafalgar square and covent garden all within few minutes walk. Apartment has everything you could need. Great communication from hosts. Check-in / check-out very easy with clear instructions for keys and how to access apartment. Overall a great find of an apartment and would definitely stay again if available when I return to London.
What could be improved: Nothing.

"Evrything perfect but horrible bed."
Staff, .central location, washer, easy checkin, elevator, it was tiny but had everything we needed (except for a decent matras )
What could be improved: Our only real complaint was the bed. The matras was horrible. Lumpy and old. We could feel the springs pierce our bodies. Woke up with back pains every morning.

"Right in the middle of it!"
Location is fantastic, rooms are good size. Host is very organised and provides great guide for logistics. Very clean.
What could be improved: Windows are rather draughty, not much noise protection from street outside, but probably cannot expect to be in the middle of it and have no noise at the same time.

"Location amazing and would stay again."
The location was amazing. Covent Garden and Leicester Square on your door step and Trafalgar Square, Buckingham palace etc… only a walk away. Tube station also very near
What could be improved: It was little cold at nighttime and no extra bed sheets or extra quilt available in the apartment

"A perfect safe location in central London for a short stay"
The location is fantastic, security is very good - very good services close by. For a tourist easy to view London and all it has to offer. The owners were in contact and allowed us to leave keys in apt as we were leaving early
What could be improved: Globes not working on all lamps. Possibly too much furniture for the size of apartment. Noisy street below.
