Brilliant Barbican, by Veeve

Offering slick city living in the heart of Barbican, this contemporary gem is the perfect base in which to explore eclectic east London. Sleeping up to three guests, it’s only a short hop from vibrant Shoreditch, famed for its chic cocktail bars, vintage boutiques and inspired food scene. On a tight schedule and keen to cover off London’s most iconic landmarks? Minutes from Liverpool Street Underground and National station, convenient transport links to the city centre add even further allure to this effervescent home. Barbican and Moorgate Underground stations are also close at hand...

An exuberant dose of deep lilac emboldens the open-plan living area with a vibrant energy. Ebullient in its colour scheme, the furnishings and artwork usher in an element of contrast against the clean lines of the ceilings and walls. Chandelier lighting adds to the air of contemporary cool, while an additional single sleeping space is provided in the form of a pull-down Murphy bed.

A medley of monochrome greets you in the modern kitchen; another example of how the recent renovations of this home have combined to deliver an impressive showcase in contemporary living. Here, guests can truly enjoy the benefit of a thoroughly modernised property.

With its notes of yin and yang, and mellow lighting, the master suite is instantly restful and offers a plush king-sized bed, bedside tables and generous wardrobe. As masterfully monochromatic as the rest of the apartment, the bathroom offers a combined bath and shower. Here, you can freshen up before an eventful morning exploring the iconic Brutalist architecture of the Barbican, home to a thriving and experimental arts scene. Classical architecture more to your taste? Stroll a little further to take in the Baroque beauty of St Paul’s Cathedral with its totemic dome a timeless feature of the London skyline for over 300 years.

We Love
The location with a little bit of everything to suit all tastes just steps from the front door.

My husband and I stayed in this well-appointed unit for three weeks and would have stayed longer if we could have. It's within short a walking distance of the Barbican, Margate, and Liverpool Street stations. Grocery stores and other shopping is nearby.

My daughter and I stayed in this flat for the second time this summer. It is very comfortable (with air conditioning if needed) and the location is convenient to Liverpool Station and Moorgate.

We enjoyed our stay. The only issue we had was the washer/drier...couldn't get it to work properly and just don't think it was explained properly at check in. Additional toilet paper in the apartment would also be nice.

Everything was wonderful. We loved the apartment and it was clean, spacious, and well equipped. Safe environment and in the middle of great cultural centers like the Barbican center. We will definitely come back here again! The host who met us was right on time, was friendly and polite, and showed us all we needed to know. Great experience!

Very comfortable flat with all you need for a stay in London. Borough Station around the corner & the fabulous Borough Market up the street. Gladstone Arms pub nearby is nice with folk music some nights.

Stylish modern apartment, pretty close to the underground. Bathroom is really nice as well. Everything is as described and most people in the reviews mentioned the management company that handles check in and check out - so no surprise there. Overall it was a great stay

A very nice flat in a great part of town. Easy access to two different tube stations, nearby pubs and restaurants. Air conditioning, laundry, full kitchen, and it's quiet!

Fantastic. Thank you very much. It was very inconvenient only having one set of keys. Otherwise it was brilliant. We loved the apartment and the man who met us was very friendly and helpful.

We had a great stay at this flat. They were very responsive as well as the agency he used to help coordinate (Veeve). It was perfect for three adults since there was a Murphy bed. The location was super convenient. I would recommend it!!

El departamento es perfecto. Está ubicado en la City, a 400 metros de la estación Moorgate, y también tiene accesibles a pie las estaciones Liverpool St., Barbican y Old Street. Cerca de la estación Old Street, a menos de 1km, hay muchísimos restaurantes y bares. Respecto a la comodidad, entran 3 personas cómodas. El departamento es de una calidad altísima, con terminaciones de construcción, muebles y artefactos de primera. Lo alquila Veeve, una empresa muy profesional que tiene línea telefónica abierta casi todo el día (hasta las 8pm si mal no recuerdo) y ayudan a evacuar las dudas que uno tenga. Algo que hay que tener en cuenta es que el check in es estricto a las 3pm. Así que si el tren o vuelo llega antes de ese horario, hay que buscarse un lugar donde dejar el equipaje. Y otra cosa es que el check out se realiza dejándole la llave a un supuesto guardia de seguridad del edificio que no está nunca (en nuestros 7 días lo habremos visto una vez o dos), así que tuvimos que dejar las llaves en el escritorio con una nota explicando la situación. De todos modos, lo recomiendo 100% ya que las cosas positivas son mucho más importantes que las negativas.

“Great location!! Very interesting and cool architecture. Great Veeve service but definitely read the host manual as soon as you get there for some tips and tricks. We enjoyed the local feel and the shared space. Perfect holiday getaway!”

Our stay was very successful. We were met upon our arrival and given a quick tour of the flat. Everything was great - comfortable beds, kitchen well-equipped and fans to keep us cool. Location is very central and convenient grocery shopping and M&S nearby.

We stayed for 4 nights in April, the place was clean, quiet, nicely decorated, beds were extremely comfortable and had everything we needed. It was close to the Moorgate tube station and easy to find with well-set up check-in. We would definitely stay again and recommend this anyone else. Thanks again for the great stay!

It was a clean great apartment in a great location. I have nothing negative to say. We had a great stay. The agency is very responsive. The only negative thing I would add is that the late check-in fee is rather expensive and the check-in and check-out times are inflexible. If you know you will be out by 10am and will be able to check in between 3pm - 9pm I would definitely pick this place. We had a great time.
