City Air Apartments – HATTON GARDEN – GREAT TRANSPORT LINKS
First Impressions
Walking up to City Air Apartments – HATTON GARDEN – GREAT TRANSPORT LINKS on Greville Street, you’re immediately in one of London’s most fascinating pockets. This four-star property sits right in the heart of Hatton Garden — yes, that Hatton Garden, where diamond dealers have been wheeling and dealing for centuries. The building itself feels refreshingly modern against the backdrop of all those historic jewelry shops, and honestly, the location alone makes this place pretty special.
The Neighborhood
You know what’s brilliant about staying here? You’re literally surrounded by some of London’s best-kept secrets. During the day, you can watch jewelers at work through shop windows, and by evening, the whole area transforms into this quiet, almost village-like enclave. Chancery Lane tube station is maybe a three-minute walk — I mean, you could practically roll out of bed and be on the Central or Northern line. Plus, you’re close enough to Covent Garden and Holborn that everything feels within reach without being in the thick of tourist chaos.
The Apartment Experience
These aren’t your typical hotel rooms — each apartment comes with its own kitchenette, which is actually quite handy when you want to grab some groceries from the nearby Tesco Metro and have breakfast at your own pace. The spaces feel more like someone’s well-appointed London flat than a sterile hotel room. The furnishings are modern without being cold, and there’s enough space to spread out your stuff — something that’s surprisingly rare in central London accommodations.
Practical Perks
The transport connections really do live up to the name’s promise. Beyond Chancery Lane, you’ve got Farringdon station within walking distance, which means Crossrail access (that’s the Elizabeth line now) plus Thameslink services. If you’re planning day trips or airport runs, this connectivity is gold. There’s also decent parking nearby if you’re brave enough to drive in London, though honestly, with these transport links, you probably won’t need to.
Why Guests Love It

You’re not fighting through crowds every time you step outside, but you can be at the British Museum or Covent Garden in ten minutes.
