All the World's a Stage

If you're looking for an apartment right in the heart of London, they don't come much more central than this. Located just off Shaftesbury Avenue, guests can walk to Chinatown and West End theatres in two minutes or so, while Leicester Square and Soho barely take five. What's perhaps most impressive is that, despite this sensational address, the home itself doesn't feel cramped or sub-standard in any way. A large, open-concept living-kitchen area benefits from two skylights and a white sofa big enough for way more than two. There's a long kitchen with enough surface space and equipment for serious cooking should you ever get bored of the restaurants of Soho (although we can't envision that happening), as well as a dazzling bathroom with pretty tiling. Even with all the distractions that lie nearby, don't be surprised if you're not in a rush to leave this home.

Home truths:
*A cot, high chair, window guards and babysitter recommendations can be provided if required
*While the home is step-free, there's no elevator in the building to reach the front door
*There's no parking available at this property, although there are some car parks nearby in Chinatown
