Quiet Central West End Apartments by Indigo Flats
First Impressions
Quiet Central West End Apartments by Indigo Flats sits on a charming side street that feels worlds away from the Oxford Street chaos, even though you’re literally a two-minute walk from all that action. The building itself has this lovely Georgian facade that blends perfectly with the neighborhood’s character — you know, the kind of place that makes you feel like you’ve discovered something the average tourist hasn’t.
Location & Getting Around
Honestly, the location is what sold me on this place. You’re tucked away on Ingestre Place, which is this quiet little street between Oxford Circus and Tottenham Court Road stations. I mean, you can walk to the British Museum in about ten minutes, and Covent Garden is just a pleasant stroll away. What I really appreciated was being able to step outside and actually hear myself think, despite being in the heart of London.
The Apartment Experience
These aren’t your typical hotel rooms — each apartment feels like someone’s carefully curated London pied-à-terre. The kitchen is actually functional (not just a mini-fridge and kettle situation), which means you can grab fresh ingredients from the little Tesco Express around the corner and make breakfast without paying £15 for hotel toast. The living areas have this modern but cozy vibe, and honestly, after a long day of sightseeing, it’s nice to spread out rather than being cramped in a traditional hotel room.
Comfort & Amenities
The beds are properly comfortable — none of that rock-hard mattress nonsense you sometimes get at four-star places. What really impressed me was the attention to details like good lighting (you can actually read without squinting) and decent water pressure in the showers. There’s no on-site restaurant, but that’s not really the point here — you’ve got Borough Market, Chinatown, and some of London’s best pubs all within walking distance.
Why Guests Love It
The thing about Indigo Flats is that they’ve figured out what travelers actually want: space to breathe, a proper base to explore from, and that feeling of living like a local rather than just passing through. The staff knows the area inside and out — they’ll point you toward the good curry place on Charlotte Street or tell you which entrance to use for the British Museum to skip the worst crowds. It’s the kind of place where you’ll find yourself planning your next London trip before you’ve even checked out.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
