About
A bright and homely two double bedroom apartment available for long let on the top floor of this ideally situated mansion block in the heart of WC1.
Comprising two double bedrooms, separate kitchen and tiled bathroom with power shower cubicle, the property also benefits from a sizeable separate living room.
Please note however that the living room cannot be adapted to a 3rd bedroom due to HMO considerations.
Brunswick Mansions itself occupies the Hunter Street corner of Handel Street; a quiet and very pretty row of terraced Georgian houses in central Bloomsbury. Hidden away at one end is St.
George's Gardens, a secret little oasis containing the tomb of Oliver Cromwell's grand daughter.
The property is moments from the Brunswick Centre, close to all WC1's major universities and 5 minutes walk in either direction to Russell Square (underground) or Kings Cross International Station.
Available for long let from August 2026.
