Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Use the bus stop directly outside the building for quick access to St Pancras and King's Cross stations.

  • 02

    This apartment is best suited for 1-2 people; the space becomes tight if the sofa bed is used.

  • 03

    Hot water has a limited capacity; for 4 people, schedule showers to avoid running out.
