A great roomy flat in a great location. Coming in from Heathrow was a breeze: Heathrow Express to Paddington, short walk to the tub, straight shot to Barbican station, a block to the flat. Janet was a wonderful host and accommodated early arrival. The security is excellent with someone at the concierge desk round the clock. The London Museum is literally across the street as are some choice example remains of the old Roman wall. A short walk to St. Pauls and then across the millennium bridge to the south bank of the Thames for the touristy stuff. Barbican has movie and stage theatre, a couple nice pubs and Kennedy’s Fish and Chips are some of the best in London, a Tesco Express is about a block away and a nice Waitrose a bit further but a quiet, easy walking distance. I was in town for business meetings and spent two weeks walking to Bank or Farringdon area each day, which was a breeze. The building was very quiet even with construction down the street (down every street in London these days). I was a little hesitant because the listing was new but with a nice host like Janet and a clean, comfortable flat like this, I am glad I took a chance and was not disappointed!
