Set within a Grade II listed Art Deco block on Woburn Place, this first-floor studio offers a compact, newly renovated pied-à-terre in the heart of Bloomsbury. High ceilings and a bay/atrium window deliver good natural light without heavy street noise, while a contemporary kitchen and fully tiled bathroom make the apartment ready to occupy or let.
The 980-year lease gives long-term security unusual for central London, and the location is the core selling point: Russell Square, the British Museum and UCL are all walkable, making the flat appealing to students, academics and city professionals. The building’s character and central position support strong rental demand and resale prospects.
There are material considerations to weigh. The building’s listed status means any external or structural works will need listed building consent and may be more complex or costly. Service charges are significant (approx. £3,360 p.a.), and the property occupies a small footprint typical of a central studio, so storage and living space are limited. Local crime levels are recorded as very high; buyers should check neighbourhood safety and insurance implications.
In short, this is a characterful, move-in-ready central London studio with exceptional lease length and location benefits, best suited to a single occupant, city pied-à-terre buyer, or investor aware of listed-building constraints and ongoing service costs.
