RED LION COURT BY CITY2STAY, London

The property is hidden in a back lane just off Fleet Street, placing it in the heart of the City of London yet surprisingly quiet at night and on weekends. St Paul's Cathedral is a 9-minute walk away. The British Museum is 2 km from the apartment, and Covent Garden is about a 15-minute walk. Public transport is excellent: Chancery Lane Tube station is a 5-6 minute walk, Farringdon (Elizabeth line) is about 10 minutes, and bus stops on Fleet Street are a minute away. King's Cross is 15-20 minutes by public transport or 10 minutes by taxi. For car users, there is no parking on site. The area is very safe and well-suited for walking to major attractions, with numerous coffee shops, pubs, and a Sainsbury's Local within a few minutes' walk.

Accommodation options include lower ground floor studios (open-plan with double bed and sofa) and one-bedroom apartments with separate living areas and bedrooms. The penthouse occupies the entire top floor with an en-suite bedroom and a second bathroom. All apartments feature parquet floors, a 40-inch TV in the living room and a 28-inch TV in the bedroom, ironing facilities, tea and coffee, and complimentary toiletries in bathrooms with walk-in rain showers. The beds are generally described as comfortable, though some found the mattresses firm and the sofas could be less comfortable. Lower ground floor studios have a window at street level and can feel snug, while higher-floor apartments are brighter with big windows. Noise from street deliveries and office activity can occasionally be heard in front-facing units, but the area is notably quiet for central London. Rooms suitable for families: sofa beds are available for children under 12 (extra charge). Baby cots are provided free of charge.

Breakfast is not included as a standard offering, but some room rates may include it; check availability when booking. The fully equipped kitchen includes an electric kettle, cookware, utensils, dishwasher, and fridge/freezer, making self-catering easy. Within a 5-minute walk you will find a Tesco Express and Sainsbury's Local for groceries, plus a wide array of restaurants, coffee shops, and pubs along Fleet Street and nearby: The Refinery New Street Square, TAS Restaurant, and several sandwich bars and fast-food options are within 0.5 km. For a fuller meal, the surrounding area offers a huge variety of dining choices, from casual to fine dining, all a short walk away.
