Incredible Central Location by Covent Garden OVERVIEW The incredible, recently renovated 350 year private townhouse combines an amazing central location, with rare historic architecture and modern comfort. Lovingly and sympathetically restored it combines the best of the old with super fast Wifi, comfy beds and period elegance. No ordinary rental! THE LOCATION Once the garden of the Duke of Buckingham's York House on the River Thames, this small secret area of London became known London's Adelphi Area. A very special conservation area sandwiched just 3 mins walk in each direction between: Covent Garden to the North, Trafalgar Square & The National Gallery to the West, The Savoy Hotel to the East and Embankment Gardens and the River Thames to the South. The area was orginaly developed in the 17th century with townhouses, further developed in the 18th Century with stately regency & Georgian properties and the Art Deco Adelphi building added in the 20th Century. Today it is hidden residential enclave which is what London is all about - where Samuel Pepys lived in 17th century, and Charles Dickens set one of his novels in 19th century and where today many movies & TV series have been been filmed (the Crown, Fleabag, Cruella, Poirot, to name but a few). TRANSPORT / CONNECTIONS Within 1 minute walk: You are just 1 minute away from both tube stations (Charring Cross & Embankment), bus routes across all of London and taxis ranks. Within 3 minute walk: Covent Garden, The Savoy, Raffles and Corinthia Hotels, Trafalgar Square, National Gallery, Thames River. Within 12 minute walk South Bank, Parliament & Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Saint James' Park, Theatre Land, Soho, Leicester Sqaure, THE ARCHTECTURE / PROPERTY The property is a 350yr old townhouse, lovingly renovated for modern comfort and to celebrate its historic character. It is one of the 10 oldest surviving townhouses in London, built in 1673 (just 6 years after the great fire of London in 1666). In around 1820 the front facade of the building was made regency in appearance and rendered, whilst the interior kept its original paneled rooms and very rare paneled stairwell. Having been lovingly restored the 5 floor townhouse has an stunning original 17th century stairwell with rooms either side. With two large windows in almost every room, lovely period furnishings and ever-so comfy quality mattresses and bedding, great fluffy towels, power showers, integrated sonos music system, 65inch TV, and super-fast networked wifi throughout the building, this property epitomises taste, history and modern luxury. Lower Ground floor: Well equipped newly fitted kitchen with quartz granite counters, all mod-cons, casual dining centre table, nespresso machines. Ground floor : Paneled entrance hall & Fabulous Paneled Dining Room with round table to seat 8. First Floor: Drawing room / lounge and separate TV Family room lounge with 65inch smart TV Second Floor: Bedrooms 1 (6ft super king bed) , Bedroom 2 (standard double) & power-shower room Third Floor: Bedrooms 3 (standard double) , Bedroom 4 (standard double) & power-shower room (extra single air mattress or UK baby cot available for bedroom 4 if required) NEARBY You are in the beating heart of London, where so so much is moments away: reputed restaurant of almost all nationailities form amazing take aways, street food or michelin star awarded fine dining. For culture, The National Theatre, South Bajk Centre Theatre Land, Shaftsbury Avenue Theatres, Kimgs Gallery, NPG, Somerset House, Courtauld Gallery, National Gallery are a very short walk, not to mention high teas at the great iconic hotels, riverside walks, shopping at bustling markets and Oxford Street, evening cocktail bars & clubs. It's all so close and a walk away, you only really need to go on the tube, underground or a bus if you want to!! PLEASE NOTE: The property was built in 1673\. It was built long before the London underground, the modern roads, and more than 250 years before the second world war which obliterated much of the area as we are so close to parliament. As such it’s a protected heritage building, old and over time has settled and developed its charming character. Please be aware of, and take caution, especially on stairs and wooden floors, as it has some uneven and sloping floors and stairs. exposed floor boards with some gaps. Bowman House was built 1673\. It is over 5 floors with lots of stairs and space. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Soap - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the city center - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Casino nearby - Cycling nearby - Motor boating nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Comprehensive recycling policy - Unit size: 2,600 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/88000000/87680000/87680000/87679904/bc8b983f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A DREAM come TRUE!

The property is a gorgeous, historic townhouse, beautifully appointed, including well equipped kitchen, that really had a luxurious feel. Our super host, Damian, was very responsive to our questions pre- and during our stay. Whilst only a short visit, I am certainly going to spend longer next time - an unbeatable base to explore this wonderful City! ##### Russell G. Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer C. Aug 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### What a gem! We recently stayed at this stunning multi-storey property on John Adam Street, and it exceeded every expectation. If you’re looking for a home base in the absolute heart of London, this is it. Nestled just off the Strand and moments from Covent Garden, you are quite literally surrounded by the city's most iconic landmarks.From the front door, we were able to walk to Trafalgar Square, the National Gallery, Covent Garden, Leicester Square, and even the River Thames within minutes. The location is truly unbeatable—we hardly needed a taxi or Tube to explore central London. For families with children, this is a game-changer.The property itself is beautifully appointed—modern yet full of character, with spacious, rooms across multiple levels. The layout worked brilliantly for our family, giving everyone space to relax after a day of sightseeing. The kitchen was fully equipped, and we loved enjoying breakfast together before heading out - we mostly dined out, with lots of choices close to 'home'.There’s an undeniable charm about staying in such a historic area while enjoying modern comfort. We felt well-connected, and entirely spoiled for choice with restaurants, theatre, parks, and museums right on our doorstep.We plan to book again - and explore more! Thank you! ##### Jennifer C.
