We went there to discover the london christmas lights. The flat is about 15min by foot from St Pancras. It's a good starting place to discover Charles Dickens house, which is near (and interesting). Oxford Street is easily reachable by walking a bit. The Russel Square station is about 10min walk. Not a very lively area, so the flat was calm (which is good). Clean, with some space: it was very convenient. We were lucky to get the flat in the morning, so that we could drop our backpacks there. James was always quick to answer and very helpful. A good choice for us.
