Set above the bustling Caledonian Road, this apartment makes it easy to explore London. King's Cross and the trendy Coal Drops Yard are a ten-minute walk away – you can also hop on the bus if you don't fancy a stroll. Visit Angel for chic boutiques (fifteen minutes on foot), or take advantage of the multicultural eateries on your doorstep. Back home, we love the exposed brick and cosy atmosphere. It is on the second floor and lacks a lift, but we think it suits a couple or solo traveller perfectly.

Home truths

Local guide
About Islington
Tree-lined terraces of very enviable Georgian townhouses, amazing restaurants, coffeeshops, and gastropubs, it's not hard to see why Islington is so popular with affluent media types. It's very well connected (ten minutes on the Victoria Line to Oxford Circus) and it's got a wonderfully residential feel - almost totally tourist free for some strange reason. Have a roast lunch at the Drapers Arms on a weekend and you'll quickly realise what makes Islington living so sought-after.
