This cosy studio apartment is the ideal base for a well-connected city stay. Outside, it’s just a fifteen-minute walk to Highbury & Islington station – making it easy to explore iconic sights across London. You can also walk to local shops, restaurants and cafes.

Local guide
About Canonbury
Canonbury is one of the most friendly and unpretentious pockets of Islington, packed full of gorgeous period houses, independent cafes and antique shops. Extremely well connected transport-wise by the Victoria Line from Highbury and Islington station, it works well as a base to explore both Central London and more villagey areas like Stoke Newington further to the East. You'll be rubbing shoulders with trendy media types and affluent young families and working out how to move here long-term yourself.
