Neal Street, Central St Giles, WC2H

A rare three-bedroom duplex at the northern end of Neal Street in Seven Dials, with the kind of outdoor space central London almost never offers: a private terrace garden to the rear and a private balcony overlooking Neal Street.

Set within a purpose-built block in the Seven Dials Conservation Area, this bright, light-filled home sits moments from the shops, restaurants and theatres of Covent Garden, with the energy of Soho just around the corner. You reach the apartment through a beautifully kept private terrace garden at podium (first floor) level, a genuine luxury in so central a location. Inside, a generous living space opens onto a well-proportioned private balcony above Neal Street, the perfect spot for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine. A separate, well-appointed kitchen and a shower room lead off the entrance hall. Upstairs on the second floor are two double bedrooms, both overlooking Neal Street, a third bedroom to the rear, and a sleek modern family bathroom.

The apartment is immaculately presented throughout, with contemporary décor and warm oiled natural oak floors. Double and triple glazed windows, replaced by the freeholder in recent years, keep the interiors peaceful. The result is a true oasis of calm, a world away from the buzz of the West End outside your door.

Seven Dials is one of London's most charming lifestyle and dining destinations, linking Covent Garden with Soho. Seven characterful cobbled streets radiate from its famous sundial pillar, whose origins date back to the 1690s. Historic warehouses and Dutch-style red-brick houses line the streets, alongside a thriving food scene: Seven Dials Market's independent street food traders, Neal's Yard favourites such as The Barbary, and newcomer Story Cellar. Heritage brands, independent boutiques and up-and-coming labels sit side by side, making the neighbourhood a magnet for style-conscious shoppers and food lovers alike.

Covent Garden is home to some of the capital's finest restaurants and shops, as well as world-class culture, from the Royal Opera House to countless theatres, museums and galleries. The London School of Economics, King's College London and the University of London all have major campuses nearby, so the area suits culture lovers and academics equally well.

Few neighbourhoods in central London are better connected. Covent Garden (Piccadilly line), Leicester Square (Piccadilly and Northern lines), Holborn (Piccadilly and Central lines) and Tottenham Court Road (Northern, Central and Elizabeth lines) are all close by, giving you fast links in every direction and easy access to Heathrow and the City.
