Found in the residential (but gently trendy) Queen’s Park neighbourhood, this is a home with real personality. Its host Hugh is a curator and designer, and that comes across through bright wallpapers and beautiful furniture. Curios also reflect his time spent travelling around the world. There’s a superb modern kitchen, but the stand-out feature is a large, plant-filled roof terrace with views of London’s chimneys. Use the nearby Queen's Park nearby Underground station to go sightseeing, then return for celebratory sunset meals.

Queen’s Park is a real gem. Community spirit by the bagful, quirky one-off shops and a picturesque park helps to draw creative young families in to this north-west London hub in their droves. It’s got a distinctly village-like feel: the Sunday farmer’s market is renowned as being one of the best in London and it’s where locals catch up on the local gossip as they shop for organic meat and...
