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.

Situated on a unique crescent-shaped street of Victorian homes – this apartment in Kings Cross is a great find. There’s an array of restaurants, bars and boutiques at nearby Granary Square and Coal Drops Yard, or have a stroll along the canal close by. The apartment itself has been featured in a variety of films and advertisements and takes its inspiration from a collection of artists and intellectuals known as the Bloomsbury Group. The highlight for us though is the pretty courtyard garden – the perfect spot for reading a book.

Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

Just a ten-minute walk from King's Cross St. Pancras, this wonderfully curated home is within easy reach of London’s top cultural sights. The house is set on a gated housing estate, in the heart of a local community with a quiet, traffic-free square out front. Forget stuffy hotels – when you come here it’ll feel like home away from home. Laid out over three floors, it’s full of chic personal touches, like the extensive vinyl record collection, and the pops of plant life in each room. There’s a wide range of reading material, board games, and recipe books so you can hone your culinary repertoire in the well equipped kitchen. 

There’s construction work taking place behind the home, so you may hear noise between 8am and 6pm in the week and on some Saturday mornings. But since you are in a prime position to explore all of London’s delights, you’ll be raring to go, and you’ll come home to a quiet and peaceful house. Make a beeline for the British Museum, an eighteen-minute walk away, to see their vast, extraordinary collection spanning over 2 million years of human life. You’re also a twenty-minute stroll from the trendy Coal Drops Yard with its myriad shops and restaurants, and an eight-minute walk from the Charles Dickens Museum. There are multiple tube and train lines from King's Cross St. Pancras, so you can easily hop around London. 

After a day of exploring, put on a vinyl record and kick back on the sofa, or enjoy a glass of wine in the serenity of your back garden. On balmy evenings, fire up the barbecue and dine alfresco together before settling down for a movie.

In Gina’s reverse duplex, bedrooms unusually take the lower level while the kitchen and living room are found upstairs beside a leafy mini-balcony. It’s also rare to find two super king-size beds, and even rarer for a spa-style bathroom to offer natural light with its standalone tub and TV. A minimal Scandi vibe runs throughout the beautiful apartment, incorporating suspended lamps, wall nooks, recycled woods and cacti. Right outside is the villagey Exmouth Market street, famed among Londoners for its superb restaurants.

Concrete Jungle

This apartment takes top marks for location. It's situated in vibrant King's Cross, just a short walk from the well-connected train station and the area's bars and restaurants. We think it's an ideal sport for first-time visitors and seasoned travellers alike. But it's not just the location that caught our eye. The decor back home is simple yet stylish. There are two roomy bedrooms, a breezy open-plan living area, and a small balcony – it's a tad overlooked but still a nice enough spot to enjoy the fresh air. All in all, it's a great option for friends and families.

Silver Shadows

This home offers a cosy city sanctuary just moments from vibrant Upper Street. The rooms are set across two floors and you’ll find plenty of space to unwind, relax or catch up on work. You’re host provides a welcome pack with basic essentials to get you started. Plus, there’s a little garden for warm weather drinks. And when it comes to exploration further afield, you’ll find everything you could need within easy reach. From here, it’s just a short walk to restaurants, cafes and shops, while the close proximity to Highbury & Islington tube station means great connections with the rest of London.

Garden Fig

Just ten minutes from King’s Cross, this apartment is a convenient base for exploring London. Coal Drops Yard is nearby, as is Sadler’s Wells Theatre. The attractive apartment blends luxury and comfort, offering a modern kitchen, desks for remote working, and a relaxing open-plan living space. This is where two guests will sleep on a sofa bed. The living and dining space opens to a balcony, a great spot for a morning cuppa. We love the moon-themed bedroom with a telescope, and the sun theme in the second bedroom. 

Lunar London

Single-Level Home

Just a five-minute walk from Angel station, House of Jute masterfully uses its space to create a harmonious, tasteful home that smoothly matches organic fabrics with subtle, neutral cabinets and wall colours. Set on the ground floor of a restored Georgian building (Grade II listed, no less), it's a stylish, modern home with period touches like shuttered windows.

With the bedroom and en-suite at the back of the apartment, away from the road, it's a peaceful space to return to at the end of a busy day. And while the en-suite may be a bit of a squeeze for some, there is another private bathroom up half a flight of stairs – a helpful addition.  

House of Jute

This apartment between Islington and Shoreditch ticks the boxes for style and convenience. It’s a perfect fit for friends or professionals – just keep in mind that if you’re visiting as a group of five, one person will be sleeping on the living room sofa bed. Our favourite feature is the balcony – outside space in London is rare, and this is a great spot to sip a morning coffee or unwind with a glass of wine post-sightseeing. Location-wise, you’ll find Victoria Miro Gallery and East London’s restaurants within walking distance. Old Street is your closest Tube station, just a fifteen-minute walk away, with easy connections to central London, Charing Cross, and Battersea. 

East London Skies

This apartment is perfect for a couple or small family looking for a convenient place to stay in London. It’s located just a short walk from the famous Sadler’s Wells theatre, yet is tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac in a leafy residential area.

London Joy

Pastel shades and floral patterns – Remington Street, a four storied terraced house, is quite the blushing beauty. Appreciate the original features throughout the home like the fireplace and its original tiling dating back to the 1920s.

Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

A Blush of Pastel

Wellness & Fitness

This bright home perfectly encapsulates Clerkenwell charm. From the stained glass windows to the chandeliers and mid-century furnishings, this home is a designer's dream. Grab a book and unwind on one of the leather armchairs (there are a couple to choose from) surrounded by modern art pieces, or enjoy a coffee in the courtyard garden. Upstairs, the master bedroom is more akin to a Georgian manor house with its heavy curtains, ornamental fireplace, and antique sleigh bed – and you can't miss the open bathroom with its freestanding bathtub. The desk is perfect if you're planning to catch up on emails during your stay, and afterwards unwind in the fitness room. You're just a short walk from Exmouth Market and the restaurants around King's Cross station, so there are plenty of options for eating out – but you'll be equally happy cooking in the sleek kitchen.

Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

Clerkenwell Muse

This modern, stylish apartment is located in London’s East End, close to the City and popular Shoreditch.

The bright living room opens to a balcony with views of London’s skyline, including the Shard. You’ll have a well-equipped kitchen to cook in, and two tranquil bedrooms decorated in soft hues for a restful night’s sleep. Ideal for business or leisure, this apartment ticks every box. 

Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

City View

Snug but superbly located, this ground-floor apartment is ideal for practical travellers. There's no denying that it's compact, but we think it works – even if both bedrooms lack storage. That said, the layout uses space cleverly, with colourful walls and a long galley-style kitchen. The second bedroom also doubles as an office. Besides, you can't beat the location. Angel is a thriving neighborhood full of restaurants, pubs, and shops. It has everything you'll need, including a Tube station nearby that makes exploring London a breeze.

Little Seraph

Bicycles

You'll find this apartment nestled between Angel and Shoreditch, two of London's most vibrant neighbourhoods. From street food to nightlife, there's something in the area for everyone, including walking paths along the canal if you'd rather take things slow. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the living space with light. They lead to a small balcony with views of Shoreditch Park across the street. The design is modern and contemporary. It's an ideal choice if you want a centrally located, comfortable stay.

Subtle Sunshine

Sitting in the corner of a charming Georgian square not too far from King's Cross, this home has a few surprises up its sleeve.

The first is its sheer size. Spread across four floors, there's a wealth of space in which large groups can gather and spend time together. And this isn't all inside, either – in a city in which outdoor space is highly coveted, this townhouse benefits from not just one, but two terraces. One of these is up on the roof, while the other is a pleasant, plant-filled garden with plenty of seating and a barbecue.

Back inside, the design leans on the traditional side, although there are a fair few quirky features inside. The wall mural in the living room is particularly pretty, as is the eclectic collection of artwork that lines the walls and the Mediterranean-style tiles in the bathrooms. If these aren't to your taste, the view of the leafy garden square from the large windows might just well be.

Despite being right in the heart of London, the immediate area feels quiet and residential, although you don't have too far to walk if you're after a distraction or two. The neighbourhood is well-covered when it comes to museums, with institutions dedicated to Charles Dickens, the Post Office and even funeral history reached in ten minutes on foot. The daddy of them all, The British Museum, is only a twenty-minute walk, too.


Curious Georgian

A stay in King's Cross could not be more convenient. It's no secret that the famous train station is very well connected, but the area is also home to a wealth of buzzing restaurants, bars, and shops. This apartment puts all of that at your fingertips. It's an excellent size for two people, with a bright living space, sleek kitchen and comfortable bedroom. Planning to work from home? The dining table doubles up as a desk. There's also a small balcony – it's a tad overlooked, but outside space in London isn't anything to scoff at, so we'll take it.

Cloudlands

Situated in the heart of Clerkenwell, this apartment is perfect for an extended stay in the capital. Angel tube station is less than a ten-minute walk away when you want to explore London. Shops, restaurants and cafes are close by for days when you’d prefer to stay local. Inside the home, the living space is bright and airy, and the kitchen has everything you need to rustle up your favourite suppers. A dedicated concierge is on-hand to make your visit as stress-free as possible and can help arrange extra services, from child care to home gym equipment.

Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

Enjoy a stylish stay in London in this modern apartment. With a private balcony, chic decor, and access to a shared swimming pool, sauna, spa, and gym – for long-term stays only – this apartment is a relaxing space to call home. It’s in Clerkenwell and Farringdon, less than a mile from Spitalfields Market and all the bars, pubs, and shops of Shoreditch High Street. It’s a lively area that blends historic buildings with a creative vibe – you’ll have design studios and galleries on your doorstep. When you want to see the rest of London, you need only walk ten minutes to the tube. Convenient and comfortable, it’s a superb London base.  

Urban Getaway

In the heart of Shoreditch, this industrial-chic apartment sits in a converted warehouse. Contemporary and cool, the apartment combines industrial-style charm with sleek, modern amenities. Think wooden floors, exposed brickwork, and a warehouse window. The open-plan living space is a great spot for entertaining, leading to a fully equipped kitchen. If you’d rather not cook, there are plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. Old Street Tube station is a short walk away, and you can also stroll to Shoreditch High Street. 

Brick & Mortar

Welcome Hamper

It's not hard to see why we love this home – views like this are hard to come by in Shoreditch, and the host has made sure to highlight it with panoramic glass walls and a modern balcony. Whether you're whipping up a meal in the pristine white kitchen, perching on the blue velvet upholstery with a good book, or sitting down on the industrial-style dining chairs for a game of cards, you'll be overlooking built-up Shoreditch and distant skyline views over the city. Inside, there's natural light aplenty, thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows, while the decor is minimalist, yet effortlessly chic. There's ample space to relax, although the living area in the corner has a cosy and homely feel to it with the sky blue rug and tasteful artwork. This sleek high-rise apartment will make exploring the local popups and quirky cafes down below extremely easy – trendy Shoreditch High Street is just a seventeen-minute stroll from your door. 

Loganberry Jam

This two-storey pad is a great spot in the cultural heart of Angel. Though there's no lift in the building, you'll be treated to a balcony and rooftop terrace, which makes the climb all the more worth it. The space is comfortable, with a modern kitchen for whipping up home-cooked meals – if the weather allows, why not tuck in on the terrace? That said, Angel’s restaurants and theatres give you plenty of reasons to go out. Plus, Angel tube station is a short walk away for easy access to London’s sights.

Angel Minimalism

Once a Georgian worker’s cottage, this recently renovated home has been brought into sparkling 21st-century style with a cool modern touch. Located in Islington, the area’s elegance is reflected in the stylish minimalism that defines this four-floor home. The lower ground floor boasts an enormous kitchen and dining area with double doors that lead out onto a sunny south-facing garden – the ideal spot for celebratory alfresco meals. The upper ground floor is taken up by the bright living room where shelves stacked with books and a large comfortable sofa invite you to kick back and relax over a glass of wine while enjoying the light pouring in through the sash windows. Onto the next floor and you’ll find two stylishly pared-back bedrooms – one of which has an en-suite rainfall shower that feels spa-like in its luxuriousness – while the master bedroom on the top floor has a roll-top bath that beckons blissful soaks with a glass of bubbly after a day of exploring the city on foot. Factor in the additional sun terrace – the perfect place for morning coffees and romantic sundowners – and you're all set for a relaxing stay. Outside of your home, Islington is bursting with cute cafes and shops to discover and Regent’s Canal is a twenty-minute walk away for long afternoon ambles. Elsewhere, trendy Dalston is walkable in thirty minutes, as is King’s Cross and Granary Square. 


Modern Georgian

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

Small but stylish, this King's Cross apartment gets top marks for its location. The train station is just a short walk away and has excellent connections across the city. Keen to stay local?

For a central, practical stay, we think it'll do nicely.

It's a stunning architect-designed flat in the oh-so-trendy Clerkenwell area. This characterful masterpiece is full of quirk, with a fantastic collection of books, music, figurines, antiques and original pieces. Light and airy, the conservatory has been stylishly furnished with sofas, wooden chairs and large bean bags to sink into as the sun streams through the ceiling. It's made even better by the projector screen, transforming the whole space into your own private cinema. 

Outside, you'll find a small garden area that's ideal for morning meditations or coffee in the fresh air.

There is also a historical walk from your doorstep, through Clerkenwell and past St. Paul's Cathedral to the River Thames and the Tate Modern. Come evening, vibrant King's Cross is the spot for hip bars and fine-dining restaurants, whether you're after a romantic meal for two or a crowd-pleaser for the entire party. Just note that the owner's friendly cat, Dusty, will be around during your stay.

Clerkenwell Conservatory

House of Hemp is a super stylish home with a design that maximises the space. The palette of earthy colours works harmoniously with the abundance of natural fabrics, and cool light fittings smoothly blend the original cornicing with modern design. The home is situated on a busy main road, so street noise can be heard in the street-facing living room. But, the bedroom is definitely quieter and the TV makes it a great space to curl up in after a day exploring with a movie in bed. While there isn’t much storage space, one of the kitchen cupboards actually doubles up as a wardrobe.
