Covent Garden: Well-Connected, a Short Journey From Harley Street
Select Apartments residences in Covent Garden combine excellent transport links, including a direct Piccadilly line connection to Heathrow, with a comfortable journey to the Harley Street medical district and hospitals across central London.
Medical Guests
Covent Garden suits medical guests for whom the journey into London matters as much as the journey to hospital once they arrive. The Piccadilly line runs directly from Heathrow to Covent Garden without a change of train, a genuine advantage for international patients travelling with luggage or medical equipment. From there, a short underground or car journey connects guests to Harley Street and to hospitals across the city.
Every property in the collection is a private home with its own entrance, its own kitchen and its own address. For a patient returning from an appointment each day, or a family member who has travelled from abroad to accompany them, the privacy and calm of a Select Apartments residence is qualitatively different from a hotel stay. The kitchen can be stocked to medical dietary requirements, the housekeeping schedule can be arranged around appointments and rest, and the host is directly contactable at all hours.

What Covent Garden Offers Medical Guests
Covent Garden sits further from Harley Street than Marylebone, Fitzrovia or Soho, but it more than compensates in connectivity. The Piccadilly line's direct run to Heathrow makes it one of the most convenient central London bases for international patients and families arriving from overseas, while nearby interchange stations at Leicester Square and Charing Cross give fast access to hospitals across the city, not only those closest to Harley Street.
For a family accompanying a patient through a longer course of treatment, Covent Garden also offers genuine distraction: the Royal Opera House, West End theatres, restaurants and the piazza itself are all within a few minutes' walk of our residences.
