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 private double room with en-suite shower room sleeps two. There is use of a shared kitchen. The property is located on the first floor (walk up, there is 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 bedroom with own shower room, lots of hanging space, desk, safe for documents, small fridge and wardrobe. The space benefits from air conditioning. 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 in the form of a shared kitchen with six other similar rooms. Of course, there are plenty of pots and pans, cutlery and crockery for you to use as well as a microwave, hob, oven, toaster, kettle and dishwasher. This room can also be used to store luggage if you arrive before check in or need to store your bags after the check out time.
The bedroom has a freshly made 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 small 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.
Some recent guest feedback:
"Had a really good time here, the flat is so well located ! It was easy to get there and even if the room was a little small for our baggages it was really convenient. Recommend a lot, good value for money !"
"Loved staying here and would love to return. Amazing location, easy to get in and out with the keycodes, I had no issues with noise from the pub or other rooms, and the room was clean and a great size for a single traveler. The air conditioner was also a godsend during this heat wave"
"Lovely quiet and comfortable room, very central so easy walking to the city and west end. This is my second stay here and I would definitely stay again when in London"

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).
