London has long been the capital of pied à terres and whilst the pandemic hit the ‘city bolthole’ market, recent months have seen a revival of these coveted assets. With the city fully reopened and workers flocking back to offices, both rental and sale prices have spiked, with property prices back to pre-Covid levels and rents in Central London rising at the fastest pace in a decade.
Whether you’re looking for a pied à terre to base yourself at during the working week, or a weekend city escape for when the commute home post-theatre is just too long, we’ve rounded up three of the best London homes, both to rent and buy.
TwentyFive, Marylebone
