We travel a lot and I used to live in London. This was the best located place I have ever stayed in the city. The Seven Dials Neighborhood has everything. Great shops, restaurants, and pubs. There is a nearby cluster of outstanding vegetarian and farm to market restaurants. Immediate tube stops and short walks to museums and theaters. The flat is above a cool astrology store. Church choirs came around on the weekend to sing hymns in front of the store. (No preaching only hymns which sounded earnest and well rehearsed.) We enjoyed the performances. No one let them in on the joke. The shop keeper is a nice person and had fun with the choirs.
There is an outstanding bakery across the street. They offer half and whole day baking classes. Plan ahead and take one.
The flat was well appointed. Nice and varied art on the walls. We ended each evening reading next to the fireplace.
The flat and neighborhood has tons of character and convenience. We give it top recommendations and look forward to re-booking the flat next year.
