Summary - 8, CENTRAL SAINT GILES PIAZZA WC2H 8AB
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Architect-designed sixth-floor apartment with balcony in Covent Garden’s cultural heart.
Two genuine double bedrooms, 760 sq ft of usable space
Set within Renzo Piano’s landmark Central St Giles, this sixth-floor two-bedroom apartment offers 760 sq ft of genuinely proportioned living in the heart of Covent Garden. The property includes two double bedrooms, a generous reception with full-height glazing and a private balcony overlooking the vibrant piazza — features that support strong short- and long-term rental demand.
Practical positives: a 135-year lease, double glazing, community biomass heating and rainwater collection, plus fast broadband and an all-day porter service. The location is exceptional for commuters and culture-seekers — Tottenham Court Road (Elizabeth Line, Northern and Central lines) is four minutes away and the West End’s theatres, restaurants and galleries are on the doorstep.
Material considerations are stated plainly: the flat is leasehold, with a high annual service charge (£12,700) and a ground rent of £550. Council tax is described as expensive. The building sits above a busy piazza in an area recorded with very high crime levels; noise and activity from the public realm are inevitable and should be viewed in person. The apartment is modern and well-presented but is part of a large mixed-use development, so privacy is more limited than for a standalone residence.
For investors or city professionals seeking an architecturally notable, well-connected property with clear rental appeal, this apartment offers distinctive style and location — provided the ownership costs and urban setting match your requirements.
