Offering a mix of heritage, convenience and character that's hard to match – right in the heart of one of London's most iconic neighbourhoods. Though only a few hundred feet long, James Street is one of Covent Garden's most recognisable and characterful streets - a short, lively stretch that connects Long Acre to the Piazza, sitting at the heart of one of London's most historic and desirable neighbourhoods.

Dating back to the early 18th century, it has always been full of life. Historically a popular route for market traders, theatre crowds and city-dwellers alike, today it's home to a mix of shops & boutiques from established brands, stylish cafés, restaurants and a couple of pubs, all with the buzz of Covent Garden on the doorstep. Several of the buildings along James Street are listed, with beautiful Georgian and Victorian architecture giving the cobbled and pedestrianised street its unique character.

Offering an unbeatable central London lifestyle, a home here is only moments from some of London's most world-class dining, theatres, galleries and fashion – but also tucked into a walkable, village-like pocket of the West End. Transport links are excellent, with Covent Garden, Leicester Square and Holborn tube stations all within a short walk.
