This apartment was great for our visit to London. As others have mentioned, there are plenty of shops and restaurants within a five-minute walk. Bus stops and underground stations (Monument & Bank) are also a 5-8 minute walk. The area felt safe, and we didn’t hear any noise from any establishments on either end of the street, even having the windows open at night. We were able to drop our luggage early while the apartment was still being cleaned on check-in day which was very convenient! Would definitely stay here again.
