Sterling House: Six New One-Bedroom Serviced Apartments in Holborn


City Living is delighted to introduce six new one-bedroom serviced apartments at Sterling House in Holborn, London, EC1N 2JT.

Available for both short and extended stays, Sterling House offers guests the space, flexibility and independence of an apartment with the convenience of a central London location. Whether you're visiting for work, study, leisure or a longer stay, these apartments provide a comfortable base in the heart of the capital.  Set within a Victorian-era building, Sterling House combines period character with modern interiors and practical facilities. Every apartment comes fully equipped with a kitchen, smart TV and Wi-Fi, giving guests everything they need to feel at home during their stay.


A Convenient Holborn Location

Sterling House is located in Holborn, one of central London's most connected neighbourhoods.

Its EC1N location puts guests close to the City of London and the West End, making it a practical choice for both business and leisure stays. The area is also home to a wide selection of restaurants, cafés, bars and shops, so guests have plenty of options close to their accommodation.  Holborn is particularly convenient for professionals, with the area's long association with London's legal and business sectors. It is also well placed for students, with several universities and educational institutions within easy reach.  For leisure visitors, attractions including the British Museum, Covent Garden and the West End are all accessible from the area, making it easy to combine a comfortable apartment stay with exploring London.


Comfortable Apartment Living in Central London

Unlike a traditional hotel room, Sterling House gives guests their own living space and kitchen, making it easier to settle into a home-away-from-home environment.  There are six one-bedroom apartments in total, with different layouts to suit different types of stays.  Four of the apartments feature sofa beds and can accommodate up to four guests. These are particularly well suited to families, groups of friends and students travelling together, offering the flexibility to stay under one roof without needing multiple hotel rooms.  The two upper-floor apartments accommodate up to two guests and are ideal for solo travellers, couples, business guests and students looking for a comfortable private space in central London.  Every apartment is supplied with fresh linen, towels and toiletries, while the kitchen facilities give guests the option to prepare meals and refreshments whenever they choose.  For a short visit, this added flexibility can make a stay more convenient. For longer stays, having your own kitchen and living space can make all the difference.


Excellent Transport Connections

One of Sterling House's key benefits is its access to London's public transport network.  Holborn Underground Station is within walking distance and provides access to both the Central and Piccadilly lines. Chancery Lane Station is also nearby, providing another Central line connection.  For wider travel across London and beyond, Farringdon Station is also easily accessible. It provides connections to the Elizabeth line, Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines, as well as National Rail services.  There are also numerous bus routes operating nearby, giving guests another convenient way to travel around the capital and see more of London above ground.  With several transport options available, Sterling House makes a useful base whether you're commuting to work, attending university, sightseeing or travelling elsewhere in London.


Food, Coffee and Everything You Need Nearby

Guests don't have to travel far to find places to eat and drink.  For coffee, Early Bees Coffee on High Holborn offers a convenient spot for a morning drink, while Joe Blake's at Holborn Station is ideal for grabbing coffee on the go.  For an evening meal, Faros Holborn on Gray's Inn Road offers Italian and Mediterranean-inspired dishes, including pasta, pizza and seafood. Holborn Dining Room at Rosewood London is another nearby option, particularly known for its traditional British menu and pies.  For drinks, The Ship Tavern offers a traditional pub setting, while Simmons Bar Holborn provides a livelier option for an evening out.  Having this variety nearby adds to the convenience of staying at Sterling House. Guests can enjoy the independence of apartment living while still having London's restaurants, cafés and bars on their doorstep.

The English summer season is packed with events intended to reward us all for our patient hibernation, bringing us together to experience something special. Summer 2026 is no exception and with something for everyone depending on your passion, below is just a small selection of what London has to offer this year: Solo Queens – Olivia Dean, Raye, Ariana Grande & Lily Allen are all playing at the O2 this summer. It’s not too late to get tickets at this huge venue. The Lads – The Weeknd, Bruno Mars and Bon Jovi are all playing at Wembley this summer too. The Fringe event – prefer your music a bit more underground? The Brick Lane Jazz Festival returns over 3 days in June, showcasing a huge range of new and established acts across a range of local intimate venues. The Outdoorsy One – Garth Brooks, Maroon 5, Lewis Capaldi are all playing British Summer Time. Since 2013, this has been an annual institution in outdoor music right in Hyde Park and the scale and organisation of it has to be seen to be believed. On the other hand, if it rains you will definitely get wet but that’s part of it isn’t it? One for the Geeks – Dungeons and Dragons Fan Expo is being held in the O2 on the 21st and 22nd of August. This is one for D&D traders and gamers who take things seriously. For Foodies – Taste of London food festival comes to Regent’s Park offering five continuous days of feasting in June. Masterclasses are on offer as well as a chance to purchase direct from artisan suppliers and plenty of cocktail opportunities. For Designers – Clerkenwell Design Week takes place over 3 days in May with the usual plethora of talks and events as well as hundreds of brands and emerging talent exhibiting their latest offerings. A feast for the eyes with plenty of high quality options for you to rest your legs in style too by testing out one of the many chairs. The Perennial Classic – still impressive for its scale, popularity and colour; the Chelsea Flower Show. Held in the vast grounds of the Royal Hospital Chelsea, this veritable institution is televised for the BBC and never fails to deliver. Its scale has to be seen to be believed. Warning: has the power to convert even the most reluctant gardener. The Grand Master – with the full programme not announced until late April, expect an eight week season of daily orchestral classic music concerns set in the Royal Albert Hall. “Prommers” can expect the pinnacle in the famous “Last Night of the Proms” which traditionally celebrates patriotic music of the United Kingdom. Pick up a “Day Promming” last minute ticket for just £8. The Decadent Option – for some of the most impressive set and costumes you will ever see, The Royal Opera House is a distinguished cut above the competition. Offering a range of both opera and ballet performances, this summer’s highlight is a classic; The Marriage of Figaro runs from the 4th of June to the 2nd of July 2026. The Niche – tagging onto the end of the season to such an extent that it is almost off season, The Lapada art and antiquities fair returns to Mayfair’s Berkeley Square at the end of October. Exhibitors cover nearly every discipline across the art and antiquities spectrum, meeting strict knowledge and expertise requirements with highly vetted wares only. Browsing essential, purchases optional. The Warm Up Act – tickets to Wimbledon can be virtually impossible but the lesser subscribed Queen’s Club Tennis Championship takes place just before in June. Head over to West Kensington to assess the favourite’s form played on grass. For Children – a lovely venue in the heart of one of the Royal Parks; Regent’s Park’s Open Air Theatre is showing Anansi the Spider for the over 4s in August and September. Bring an umbrella. The Comedies – Shakespeare’s wonderful classics A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Much Ado About Nothing, Love’s Labour’s Lost and As You Like It are all being performed throughout this summer. Which will you choose? The Spectacle – Back by popular demand, War Horse is on at the Olivier Theatre on the South Bank between 16th May and 30th July 2026. Based on the famous novel by Michael Morpugo, it is performed entirely by the Handspring Puppet Company with life size horses. The Musical – it shouldn’t be funny but it is; The Book of Mormon continues its run at the Prince of Wales Theatre in the West End. Expect jaw dropping irreverence and a certain crisis of faith. Each of these events is between 2 and 60 minutes' travelling distance from each of our 7 centrally located buildings.
