Three Bedroom, Leicester Square Duplex

First Impressions

Walking up to the Three Bedroom, Leicester Square Duplex on Great Newport Street, you’d honestly miss it if you weren’t looking — which is actually perfect. This apartment sits right in the thick of things without screaming “tourist accommodation.” The entrance feels more like you’re visiting a friend’s place than checking into another generic hotel, and I mean that in the best way possible.

Location & Neighborhood

You know what’s wild about this spot? You’re literally a two-minute walk from Leicester Square’s chaos, but Great Newport Street itself stays surprisingly quiet. I’ve wandered these streets plenty, and this little stretch feels like London‘s best-kept secret — close enough to stumble home from a West End show, but far enough to actually sleep through the night. The Tube stations are everywhere (Leicester Square, Covent Garden, Tottenham Court Road), so you’re never really stuck anywhere.

The Space

This four-star duplex actually feels like someone’s home, not a corporate rental. The layout works brilliantly — three proper bedrooms spread across two floors, so you’re not all crammed together like sardines. The kitchen has everything you need if you want to avoid eating out every meal (smart move in this neighborhood, honestly). What I really appreciate is how they’ve managed to fit a decent dining area without making the whole place feel cramped.

Living Like a Local

Here’s the thing about staying in an apartment-style place in Westminster Borough — you actually get to live in London for a bit instead of just visiting it. There’s proper storage space, multiple bathrooms (trust me, this matters with a group), and enough room to spread out your stuff without living out of a suitcase. The duplex setup means someone can have an early night upstairs while others hang out downstairs — small detail, but it makes a difference.

Why Guests Love It

Look, an 8.5 rating doesn’t happen by accident. This place nails the balance between location and livability that so many London accommodations mess up. You’re paying for the address — and it’s worth every penny when you can walk to Chinatown for late-night noodles, catch a show in Theatreland, or browse the shops around Covent Garden without planning your day around transport. It’s not flashy or Instagram-perfect, but it’s exactly what you want when you need a proper base in central London that actually feels like home.
