Leigh Street, Bloomsbury, WC1H

A bright and well-presented first-floor studio set within a Grade II listed period building in the centre of Bloomsbury. WC1N.

Located on the first floor of a handsome Georgian building on leafy tree-lined Leigh Street, this studio apartment is well-suited to those seeking a central London base or a long-term investment in one of the capital’s most established cultural districts. The building forms part of a listed terrace typical of Bloomsbury, with elegant façades and communal entrances that retain much of their original charm.

Internally, the flat measures approximately 331 square feet (30.75 square metres) and has a simple and functional layout. The main living and sleeping area spans over five metres in width, the high ceilings coupled with the tall sash windows provide a wealth of natural light while the adjoining section of the flat contains a separate kitchen and a three-piece bathroom.

The kitchen is compact but practical with integrated appliances and a surprising amount of storage, fitted with modern units and finished in a neutral palette that complements the period setting. The bathroom includes a full-sized bath with shower above, pedestal basin and WC, all well-presented. Flooring throughout the main studio room is engineered wood, adding warmth and texture to the space, while the internal décor is pared-back, with white walls and minimal detailing ready to be personalised or let-out immediately.

Leigh is just around the corner from Marchmont Street and the Brunswick Centre, with its lively local atmosphere filled with independent cafés, local shops, and popular restaurants. Residents have easy access to multiple Underground stations including King’s Cross St Pancras, Russell Square, and Euston, offering fast links across London and beyond via Eurostar services.

Bloomsbury has long been associated with academic and cultural excellence, home to several Universities, The British Museum, and Senate House Library. Green spaces such as Tavistock Square and Brunswick Square Gardens are all within a short walk, while the Brunswick Centre provides everyday amenities including a Waitrose, Curzon cinema and high street retailers.

This location continues to attract a broad cross-section of students, professionals, and international buyers due to its unique blend of history, architecture, and connectivity. Given the building’s character and the flat’s size, layout and position, it represents a strong opportunity for investors seeking a reliable and versatile investment or buyers in search of an easily accessible low-maintenance Central London base.
