Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Stylish 2 Bedroom Apartment in the Heart of Soho Walk to Cafes & Attractions! on Charing Cross Road, you immediately get that buzz of being right in the thick of things. The building itself — Shaldon Mansion — has that classic London charm with its period facade, though honestly, it’s the location that’ll grab you first. You’re literally surrounded by the energy of Soho, with theater marquees glowing just around the corner and that constant hum of city life that makes you feel like you’re part of something bigger.

The Heart of Everything

This four-star apartment sits in what I’d call the sweet spot of central London. You’ve got Tottenham Court Road tube station practically on your doorstep, which means you can be anywhere in the city within minutes. But here’s what I really love — you’re close enough to Covent Garden to catch a show on a whim, yet tucked away enough that you’re not dealing with the absolute chaos of Leicester Square every time you step outside. The cafes along Charing Cross Road alone could keep you busy for days, and there’s something satisfying about grabbing your morning coffee from the same spots that locals actually use.

Inside Your London Base

The space itself feels properly lived-in rather than hotel-sterile, which I mean in the best way possible. With two bedrooms, there’s actually room to spread out — something that’s pretty rare in this part of town. The kitchen is functional enough that you could genuinely cook a meal if you wanted to, though with Borough Market and Chinatown so close, you might not bother much. What struck me most was how the windows let in decent natural light despite being surrounded by London’s typical tightly-packed buildings.

The Soho Experience

Living here for a few days, you start to pick up the neighborhood’s rhythm. Mornings are relatively quiet — well, London quiet — but by evening, the streets come alive with that mix of office workers heading home and night owls just getting started. The proximity to so many theaters means you’ll often spot people dressed up for shows, and there’s something infectious about that anticipation in the air. You know what’s brilliant though? Despite all the activity outside, the room stays surprisingly peaceful once you close the windows.

Why Guests Love It

It’s the combination of space and location that really works here. You get the authentic London experience — the sounds, the energy, the ability to walk to most of the things you actually want to see — but you also have a proper base with two bedrooms and enough space to actually relax. The building has character without being run-down, and you’re genuinely in the heart of everything without paying West End hotel prices. For groups or families who want to experience London like locals rather than tourists, this place delivers on that promise.

Apartments in London suit families with bright bay windows, full kitchens, and sunset loops through Hyde Park paths.

"Very nice"
The closeness to our venue /work Very clean Very modern Comfy beds and sofas So central
What could be improved: The battery on the fire alarm but was fixed after the first nights stay. The flights of stairs and no lift which we were told about but we had 6 suitcases was very very hard

"Good"
The furniture is really nice, and have elevator!
What could be improved: Is too much noisy the street and the old windows let all the sound pass. Also have not good courtains and let pass a lot of light.

We chose the apartment becuase of the location. We were impressed with the apartment itself, it had a good size living area and 2 decent sized bedrooms. We found the aditional toilet a good benefit.

"Really great location for everything we wanted to experience."
The location was excellent under a minute to the tube and in the center of everything! Good size bedrooms and a nice living space for us to relax.

"Nice location but clearly not worth the money"
Location, easy to get in
What could be improved: Noisy, a bit run down, clearly not as nice as on photos, white neon lighting terrible and gives a dull aspect to the apartment at night, directly on the street and no double-glazing windows, terrible smell from bathroom (which apparently was never reported before…), really unsecured door that closes but doesn’t properly lock. Will not return
