St Christopher’s Place Serviced Apartments by Globe Apartments

Hotel Description

Look, I’ve stayed in a lot of London apartments over the years, and St Christopher’s Place honestly surprised me – in the best way possible. You know that little pedestrian street that connects Oxford Street to Wigmore Street? The one where locals actually go to escape the tourist madness? That’s exactly where these serviced apartments sit, and I mean right in the heart of it. Walking out your front door, you’re literally surrounded by independent boutiques and those cozy wine bars that somehow manage to feel both sophisticated and unpretentious.

The apartments themselves are properly done – I’m talking about actual space to breathe, which is basically a miracle in central London. The kitchen isn’t just for show either; I actually cooked a few meals there without wanting to tear my hair out, and the grocery situation is sorted with Waitrose just around the corner on Wigmore Street. What really got me though was how quiet it stays, even being so close to Oxford Circus. I mean, you can hear the city humming if you really listen, but it’s not that constant traffic drone that usually drives you mental in Zone 1. The building feels solid – proper thick walls, not those paper-thin conversions you sometimes get.

Here’s what I wish someone had told me before booking: the whole area transforms depending on when you’re there. Weekday mornings, it’s all business people grabbing coffee before heading to their Fitzrovia offices. Weekend afternoons turn into this lovely browsing scene with people wandering between the galleries and that gorgeous little courtyard area. And honestly, the location spoils you rotten – I found myself walking everywhere instead of dealing with the tube. Regent’s Park is a genuine ten-minute stroll (perfect for morning runs), Bond Street shopping is right there when you need retail therapy, and you can actually walk to Covent Garden or Soho for dinner without planning your whole evening around transport. The staff were refreshingly normal too – no fake smiles or scripted responses, just helpful people who actually knew the neighborhood. Sure, you’re paying London prices, but when you factor in the space, the location, and not having to share breakfast with fifty strangers every morning, it makes sense. I’d definitely stay again, probably will next time I’m in town for more than a few days.
