Nestled in Archway, this modern home is an ideal base for a family on a London stay. We love the generous, modern kitchen – the true heart of the home, perfect for socialising over good food, while the garden offers a welcome alfresco dining option in warmer months. The living room is cosy and entertainment abounds here – choose a book off the stacked shelves or flick on the projector for a movie night with loved ones. And when you’re ready for some sightseeing, nearby public transport makes hopping across London a breeze.
