LX Russell Square Apartments

LX Russell Square Apartments Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to LX Russell Square Apartments, you immediately get that feeling you’ve found something special in London’s Bloomsbury district. The building sits right on Guilford Street in Camden, and honestly, the location couldn’t be better — you’re literally in the heart of everything without the chaos of Oxford Street crowds. I mean, when couples consistently rate the location 9.4 out of 10, you know there’s something to it. The property has this refined, residential feel that makes you feel more like a sophisticated London dweller than just another tourist.

The Neighborhood Advantage

What really struck me about staying here is how you’re positioned perfectly between Russell Square and the British Museum — both just a few minutes’ walk away. The tree-lined streets around here have that quintessential London charm, and you’ll find yourself wandering past Georgian townhouses and garden squares that most visitors never discover. There’s a Waitrose practically around the corner (trust me, this matters when you have apartment-style accommodation), and the Russell Square tube station connects you to the Piccadilly line, which means Heathrow, Covent Garden, and King’s Cross are all direct shots.

The Apartment Experience

These aren’t your typical hotel rooms — they’re proper apartments with full kitchens, separate living areas, and that extra space you don’t realize you’re craving until you have it. The four-star standard shows in the details: quality furnishings, well-equipped kitchens with everything you actually need (not just a kettle and mini-fridge), and bathrooms that feel upscale without being pretentious. You know what I appreciated most? Having a proper dining table where you can spread out with maps, laptops, or just enjoy a morning coffee while planning your day.

Why the Location Works So Well

The thing about this part of London is that it feels authentically local while keeping you close to major attractions. You’re a 10-minute walk from the British Museum, 15 minutes to Covent Garden, and the same to King’s Cross (hello, Harry Potter fans). But more importantly, you’re surrounded by the kind of pubs, cafes, and shops that Londoners actually use. The nearby Lamb pub has been serving pints since 1729, and there’s a fantastic little Italian place called Pied à Terre just down the street that locals don’t really want tourists to discover.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.7 rating isn’t just about the prime location — though having Russell Square as your backyard certainly doesn’t hurt. It’s the combination of space, independence, and being positioned in one of London’s most livable neighborhoods that really wins people over. You get the freedom of apartment living with the service standards of a quality hotel, all while being based somewhere that feels like the “real” London rather than tourist central. For couples especially, there’s something romantic about having your own little London flat, even if it’s just for a few days.

Apartments in London suit remote teams with Georgian bay windows, fast fibre, and shared studios overlooking courtyards.
