The Colyer,
Covent Garden WC2

Once the site of the seminal jazz and blues club Studio 51 and taking its name from jazz trumpeter Ken Colyer, this handsome mid-19th century building was redeveloped in conjunction with architects JRA in 2017 to create 14 luxury apartments with interiors by award winning Johnson & Naylor, located only moments from the centre of Covent Garden and within easy reach of the bright lights of Soho.

Featuring a generous separate sleeping area, this well-proportioned third floor Manhattan studio benefits from an exceptional specification including high quality timber floors, air conditioning and a contemporary high quality bathroom with a marble floor. The L-shaped main living space faces over Great Newport Street with plenty of light from the south facing windows and a modern well-equipped kitchen with high specification integrated appliances. The Colyer further benefits from well maintained and attractive common areas, a daytime a concierge and a lift to all floors.

Studio 51 was a renowned jazz club throughout the 1950s playing host to legendary performers including John Dankworth, a young Cleo Laine and even Dizzy Gillespie, but during the 1960’s the jazz gave way to R&B and the nascent rock & roll scene, with upcoming acts in the early 60’s including the Rolling Stones and the Yardbirds becoming regular performers in the club’s basement.

Great Newport Street is extremely well located, being in the heart of London’s vibrant West End, close to Covent Garden’s Piazza with it’s street performers, high-end boutiques and numerous bars & restaurants. Nearby New Row offers a more village-like vibe with a number of cafes and independent shops & eateries, leading to St. Martin’s Lane, home of the Colosseum and Prince of Wales Theatres, as well as the Ian Schrager designed St. Martin’s Lane Hotel.

In recent years Covent Garden has become a globally recognised centre for culture, retail, dining and entertainment, offering a unique and peerless mix of lifestyle attractions catering to both the domestic and international market.

Residents of Great Newport Street are perfectly positioned to travel and explore London on foot, with the West End, Mayfair, the South Bank, River Thames and many of London’s wonderful parks and open spaces within easy reach, with tube services from nearby Covent Garden, Leicester Square & Charing Cross Stations.

Some of London’s top educational institutions such as Kings College, University College London and the London School of Economics & Political Science (LSE) all have campuses nearby.
