Islington was once the playground of literary greats – George Orwell and Evelyn Waugh among others – but these days it’s where media types rest their heads and write witty blog posts on their MacBooks in organic cafes. This beautiful, five-storey Georgian townhouse on a leafy backstreet in Barnsbury, brings together these two worlds. It’s full of charming original features, including wrought-iron fireplaces, wooden shutters and even a coal vault. The decor plays on its rich history with almost Gothic touches – dark blue walls, a jet-black wooden four-poster bed, gunmetal roll-top bath – but this adds drama, not darkness. In any case, the light from those glorious sash windows makes it impossible for any gloom to creep in. Grab a book from the library and head outside to the delightful paved garden, where tangled wisteria and mature trees keep things incredibly private for a city pad. Like Islington's legendary writers, we think you'll find plenty to write home about.

Barnsbury Corner

Located in Islington, where independent shops and eateries abound, this home is just minutes away from Regent's Canal. Ideal for travellers looking to balance business and pleasure, you'll find a practical workspace here, plus a smart cinema room and a small gym. Not only does this Victorian conversion boast an open-concept living space for your group, but several patios offer an extra bonus. Thanks to mainline rail stations within walking distance, public transport services will shuttle you to London's sights.

The Artful Dodger

This charming flat boasts a prime location just behind Sadler Wells theatre and a short 3-minute stroll from Angel Underground station. Travelling to King's Cross? It's just one tube stop away (4 minutes) on the Northern Line! Accommodation includes two serene bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other with a queen, each offering built-in wardrobes and hotel-quality linens for a peaceful slumber.

Angel & King's Cross

Georgian London survives in this beautiful snug of a home. Sit on the Chesterfield sofa below framed tapestries, warmed by a crackling wood-burner, or stand on the Juliet balcony, sipping whiskey and gazing regally at the neighbouring terraces. Full-height windows, fur drapes and a four-poster bed further the classy feel, while cool Tom Dixon brass lights seamlessly add some modern pizzazz. Though the kitchenette is best for small meals, many excellent restaurants await nearby. We would bear in mind that the home has old walls, so it's not the quietest space.

The Georgian

A masterstroke in the art of modern living, you’ll need for nothing at this contemporary apartment located slap bang in the middle of happening Shoreditch. Inside, there’s high-style lounging in the living space, flooded with natural daylight thanks to the dual aspect windows, and a balcony to let the fresh air in on warmer days. While next door, in the luxurious bedroom, you’ll find a king-size bed decked out in crisp white linens and a marble-clad en-suite with an obligatory rainfall shower. Those keeping an eye on work will appreciate the dedicated desk area, while guests wishing to flex their culinary skills will find all they need in the sleek, modern kitchen. However, you’re in the right part of town if you’d rather eat out, with Shoreditch’s buzzy High Street just a five-minute hop and a skip away. With a thriving street food scene, independent stores, live music venues, and cool cat bars to keep your night flowing, you could easily while away the day and night here with the local hipsters. Or hop on the tube at Old Street Station (five minutes on foot) to uncover other corners of this captivating city - the Thames River and many of the city's historic sites are just a few stops away. Now, how is that for a location?

Hipsterdom

This modern and spacious apartment is located in the heart of London's King's Cross area, close to the British Library, the University of London and the Royal National Theatre. The apartment has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and a spacious living room. It also has a washing machine and dryer, and free WiFi.

In the Heart of Kings Cross

A bright and spacious 2-bedroom flat in London's King's Cross area, perfect for a couple or small family. The flat is located on the ground floor of a secure residential building, and has a small private outdoor terrace for your enjoyment. There is also a washing machine and dryer in the flat, so you can do your laundry during your stay. The flat is close to all the major transport links in the city, and there are plenty of restaurants, bars and shops nearby.

King's Cross

This apartment is all about the rooftop view. A perfectly clear and straight view of St Paul’s Cathedral and The Shard from the terrace is the perfect setting for evening drinks. Located in trendy Clerkenwell, you’re right in the hub.


St Paul's View

With beautiful Shoreditch Park and the conveniently located Old Street station nearby, plenty of trendy restaurants and lively bars right on your doorstep, and many of the top attractions, including St. Paul's Cathedral (fifteen minutes), the Tate Modern (seventeen minutes) and the Barbican Centre (sixteen minutes) all easily accessible on the tube, you're right in the thick of things here. 

And yet, there's a sleek, laidback atmosphere to this perfectly practical pad, thanks to its elevated position and crisp walls of glass. Natural light pours in throughout the day, illuminating the open-plan living space and double bedroom. The smart setup means you'll have everything needed for a calm and comfortable stay in London, whether you're in town on business or looking for a convenient city-break bolthole. 

Angel Delight

If you’re in search of simplicity and ease in a great location, this apartment is for you. Located in the heart of Angel, it’s just a five-minute walk to the nearest underground station and Regent’s Canal. You’ll find plenty of restaurants, cafes and bars within easy reach, while Shoreditch is just ten-minutes away. By night, this home makes a great base to switch off and unwind. There is plenty of space to stretch out across the living room and bedrooms. Plus, you’ll have access to a shared garden during your stay. Remote workers will also appreciate the small study with a desk. 

Angel Air

When you’re staying just six minutes from King’s Cross Station, the bustling travel hub of London, you might not expect to find serenity. However, this Georgian maisonette defies all expectations, offering a luxurious and calm spot with elegant and original decor. From rich, hardwood flooring and cabinets, to chic hanging lamps and art adorning the walls, a rustic versus modern contrast is present throughout. While we love the interior details, an outdoor area in the city centre is a rare feature that’s hard to ignore. With not one but two separate spaces for entertaining, enjoy an Earl Grey in the morning, and move on to a glass of fine English sparkling wine by dusk. As if exploring the gorgeous home and grounds wasn’t enough, your host has some extra surprises. Indoors, find your very own 4K projector and sound system for a luxury movie night. Outside, find a barbecue and even an outdoor heater for winter nights. If you muster up the courage to leave your peaceful palace, head seven minutes over the canal to Granary Square and Coal Drops Yard. For foodies and shoppers alike, this recently redeveloped area has beautifully renovated buildings housing cocktail bars, artisan markets, and high-end restaurants.

A Piece of Heaven

Looking to stay in one of London's hottest districts to work and play? Then this pristine apartment right in the heart of happening Shoreditch should be just the ticket. Located just a five-minute hop and a skip away from Shoreditch's buzzy high street, you'll find a vibrant art scene, artisan coffee shops, rooftop bars, vintage shops, and food markets aplenty including Brick Lane (just twenty minutes on foot). Old Street Underground Station is just a five-minute jaunt away, so getting around the city is a doddle, while guests travelling for business will appreciate its proximity to the City of London's financial district.  Back at home, this is contemporary living at its best. Stretched out across two floors, the two luxurious bedrooms are located up a flight of stairs to give that added touch of privacy for those sharing with friends or family. While back downstairs, between the spacious lounge and balcony area, there's more than enough space to spill out and make yourself at home here. Take morning coffees out onto the balcony to watch the streets of Shoreditch begin to bustle, then come together for lazy breakfasts while you hatch plans for the day ahead. Just don't hang around too long – London town is waiting.
