Combining glossy, contemporary interiors with a delightful balcony, this bright apartment straddles the contrasting neighbourhoods of historic Farringdon (home to one of the city's best-connected stations) and industrial-chic Clerkenwell (where central and east London converge). It's an intoxicating mix of the medieval and modern – whether your vibe is exploring London’s long and winding history or hitting the town for cocktail hour.
Centred on an open-plan living room bathed in sunshine from the balcony and buoyantly styled with statement artwork, this graceful apartment is geared towards easy relaxation. Fresh tones and wood floors bring a natural, harmonious aesthetic to the contemporary lounge area. Lying adjacent to this space, the large dining table encourages a convivial atmosphere in which to congregate at mealtimes.
Soothing sanctuaries of soft white, the two tranquil bedrooms are accented by sparing pops of colour, whilst the bathrooms are a picture of modernist simplicity in their delicate hues of aquamarine blue and white. If homes come with a dress code, casual-comfort is certainly the theme at this charming abode.
A selection of additional services and items can be ordered through Veeve subject to availability at this property. • Baby cots and high chairs • Early or late check-in and late check-out • Airport pickups and private transfers • Bespoke welcome packs • Mid stay housekeeping • Fresh towel and linen changes • Additional bedding or pillows
We Love The balcony with its charming views of the quiet, leafy street below and al fresco dining options. We're also very keen on the colour fragments of art dotted around; notably the splash of vibrant green and midnight blue patchwork in the bedrooms.
Home Truths: No smoking, pets or parties. The apartment is not suitable for children.

The flat was beautiful, large and had everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen was especially well equipped. Love the location as well!

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Check-in
The check-in experience was horrible, we got stuck outside of the door for almost an hour on a cold windy day at the time supposed to be greeted by the host. No number to call and only text msg which we need to wait for response. The place is clean, a bit far from the city centre but subway train station is close by. Very quiet neighborhood, safe and friendly!

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We are truly sorry to hear about your check-in experience and that you were left waiting outside in the cold. That is certainly not the standard of service we aim to provide, and we completely understand how frustrating that must have been. Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused.
We will be reviewing this internally to ensure communication and arrival procedures are improved, particularly in situations where immediate assistance is needed.
We are, however, pleased to hear that you found the property clean and enjoyed the quiet, safe neighbourhood, as well as the convenient access to the nearby station.
Thank you again for your honest feedback — it is invaluable in helping us improve. We hope we may have the opportunity to provide you with a much smoother experience in the future.
Kind regards,
Veeve Guest Services Team
This was an ideal place to stay as a family with our young adult children, especially with the two bathrooms. We loved the modern space and amenities, but within the village vibe of Clerkenwell. A modern kitchen and a washing machine onsite was a plus.

Well presented, well equipped. Drains in showers need attention.

Hi Carol, thanks so much for the review. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay in London. We appreciate your feedback regarding the shower drains and will investigate the issue here. We hope to welcome you again soon! Best wishes, The Veeve Team
The place is nice and has many amenities.
There was no dishwasher detergent to run the dishwasher and when I email the company, they wanted me to supply it! The other major problem was that the construction in the building and outside the apartment is very loud. This I feel should have been displayed at the top of the description since it was very disturbing and disruptive.
Mal davon abgesehen, dass man beim Ein und Auschecken warten musste, und nicht alles so high end sauber war, ist das ein tolles Apartment. Auf jedes Fall empfehlenswert.
The flat has great light and it was immaculately cleaned for our arrival. The neighborhood is fun with lots of shops and restaurants.

Why they chose this property
Clerkenwell’s distinctive look and feel are in part influenced by the enormous Victorian warehouses found in the area, now transformed into spacious office blocks and apartments. A multitude of architects and creative businesses call Clerkenwell home — it even has its own design week. Exmouth Market and a plethora of Michelin starred restaurants make this neighbourhood a must-visit for food-lovers too.
