Borough

Borough is one of central London’s most vibrant and historic neighbourhoods, where the energy of the city meets the charm of centuries-old streets. As the locals will tell you, Borough is more than just a destination — it’s a way of life!

A Haven for Foodies

At the heart of it all is Borough Market, a foodie paradise that’s been serving locals since the 13th century. Here, you’ll find everything from artisanal cheeses and organic produce to mouth-watering street food from around the world. Whether you’re popping by for fresh ingredients or meeting friends for lunch, a beer or dinner, the market’s buzzing atmosphere always offers something new.

Why Borough?

The newly developed Borough Yards blends modern architecture with the area’s industrial heritage and is home to fashionable boutiques, art galleries, and some fantastic new restaurants, coffee shops, pop-ups  plus a brand new Everyman cinema. It’s become a bit of a creative hub, perfect for catching an exhibition, enjoying a glass of wine, or simply people-watching in the lively open spaces.

A Mix of History & Modernity

The looming presence of the iconic Shard is a constant reminder of the area’s modernity, in contrast to many hidden cobbled alleys and quiet back-streets lined with traditional pubs and independent shops. Whether wandering by the Thames or browsing the markets, Borough’s relaxed vibe encourages you to slow down and soak in its character. It’s a neighbourhood where history meets modern London living, with a strong sense of community.

Gateway To The City

The City of London financial district is just a short stroll across the Thames via London Bridge

St. Martin’s & Strand

St. Martin’s Lane is Covent Garden’s western border, a bustling thoroughfare linking Seven Dials with Trafalgar Square and a gateway to the wider West End. Strand is the southern boundary of Covent Garden running parallel to the River Thames and linking the cities of London & Westminster. A neighbourhood that offers everything from river views and world class theatres, to green open space and village vibes.

Covent Garden

One of London’s most iconic and recognisable destinations, perhaps from the outsider’s perspective nothing more than a hub for tourists, shoppers, theatre goers or opera aficionados, but scratch the surface and there is so much more to discover about this thriving community…

Seven Dials

Seven Dials is a charm-packed lifestyle & gastronomy hub connecting Covent Garden with Soho, defined by seven characterful cobbled streets radiating from the unmistakable sundial dating from the 1690’s.

Chinatown

Chinatown is a vibrant enclave where East meets West, nestled between Soho, Leicester Square, Piccadilly Circus and Covent Garden. A captivating oasis of Asian cuisine and culture, adorned with ornate Chinese gates and colorful lanterns.

Soho

Soho is surely the epitome of London life, the beating heart of the West End, a vibrant enclave where history, creativity and a sense of rebellion collide to create a truly original and unrivalled neighbourhood. Globally recognised for its bohemian spirit, Soho has been a haunt for artists, writers, poets and musicians for centuries. Modern Soho is a paradise for creatives, culture vultures, foodies and night owls.

Carnaby

An enclave of only 14 streets in the north west corner of Soho, yet Carnaby is very much a neighbourhood in its own right. Carnaby Street is world renowned as the epicentre of Swinging London in the 1960’s, and has continued its association with fashion and youth culture to this day.

Bloomsbury

Bloomsbury is a little slice of bohemian paradise in the heart of London, historic streets lined with handsome Georgian townhouses, leafy garden squares and a vibe that oozes culture & creativity.

Holborn & St. Giles

Holborn is the gateway from the City of London to the West End and home to the UK’s legal profession. Situated around the grand garden square of Lincoln’s Inn Fields, it’s home to many top law firms, barrister’s chambers and the London School of Economics & Political Science.
