Summary:
Amazing base for exploring London right by the River Thames and walking distance to both the West End and the City of London, this large one bedroom penthouse apartment sleeps four with the aid of a sofa bed in the reception room. The property is located on the top floor (walk up to the third floor with no lift) in a corner building above a traditional English pub in a striking corner building that dates back to 1676 when it was The Grecian Coffee House.
The Space:
Once inside the property, you are within a very generous one bedroom apartment. The corner open plan reception room has a sofa bed, fully equipped kitchen and air conditioning. The open plan kitchen features a washing machine so that you can do some laundry and travel light, a dishwasher because who wants to do the dishes by hand, toaster and kettle, fridge, stove/hob, oven and microwave. We know how important it is for people with special dietary requirements to prepare food for themselves rather than rely on the understanding and cooperation of restaurants and you may not want to eat out all the time, so we make sure you have the added choice of self catering. Of course, there are plenty of pots and pans, cutlery and crockery for you to use.
The bedroom has a freshly made king size bed with hotel quality bed linen, wardrobes with hangers, hair dryer, iron and ironing board, TV, more air conditioning and good quality towels for all guests. The modern shower room provides some toiletries on arrival. We also put together a welcome pack of tea, coffee, milk and some snacks for when you arrive.
Good quality wifi is available in all our properties to help you plan your day's sightseeing, catch up on some work, keep in touch with friends and family back home or simply to relax after a busy day in the capital.
All City Living London properties offer convenient bases to discover what London has to offer so that you can recharge at the end of the day and then do it all again.
With freeview, wifi and all bills included, every convenience is catered for to allow you to go on and enjoy your stay and there is a safe for confidential documents.

The Neighborhood:
Devereux Court is tucked between various barristers chambers and public gardens, just a couple of minutes' walk from the River Thames and just behind Fleet Street, famous for being the home of the capital's newspaper industry. The imposing Royal Courts of Justice are around the corner and the nearest underground stations are Temple and Blackfriars although Covent Garden and the City are within easy walking distance. It's central yet leafy and very quiet in the evenings and weekends but so central to access so much on foot. Highlights include The Oxo Tower, Tate Modern, London Film Museum, London Transport Museum (better than it sounds!), Somerset House right next door for Christmas ice skating, Rules which is a British institution, Monmouth Coffee for without doubt the best coffee in London, Theatreland on your doorstep with over 40 venues and Forbidden Planet for cult sci fi and comic merchandise. The National Theatre's hub in the Southbank Centre is host to some of the best plays in the world.
Getting Around:
Superb transport links including three underground tube stations just a few minutes' walk: Covent Garden for Piccadilly line, Blackfriars for Thameslink, Circle and District and, the nearest, Temple for Circle and District Lines.
The London Stadium can be reached in 50 minutes by taking the Central line direct to Stratford, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is under an hour away by taking the Circle line and then Overland train to Silver Street and Wembley is also reachable within the hour by taking the Circle and Jubilee lines. Ideal for solo travellers, couples or extended families. Nearest stations are Temple (District and Circle lines), Blackfriars (Circle, District and Thameslink services to Gatwick and Luton airports) or Covent Garden (Piccadilly line).
