About
A studio apartment on the seventh floor of Lincoln Square, Lodha's residential development set within the legal quarter of WC2.
The building offers 24-hour concierge, landscaped gardens, and around 17,000 square feet of residents' amenities.
The apartment is arranged as a single open-plan space, with the kitchen, dining, and living areas running together. The kitchen is fully fitted with Miele appliances throughout.
On the seventh floor, the light is good throughout the day, and the balcony looks out over Lincoln's Inn Fields, one of the larger open spaces in central London.
Lincoln Square sits at the eastern edge of Holborn, where the Inns of Court give way to Covent Garden to the south-west and the City to the east.
The London School of Economics is a short walk away along Houghton Street, and King's College London's Strand campus is not far beyond that.
Holborn station, serving the Central and Piccadilly lines, is the nearest Underground. Temple and Chancery Lane are both within easy reach on foot.
Few residential addresses in WC2 offer this combination: A quiet, largely pedestrianised setting and straightforward access to two of London's principal academic institutions, the legal quarter, and the western edge of the Square Mile.
In our experience, it is a part of central London that buyers often overlook until they spend time in it.
