Amidst the Georgian terraces of Islington, this apartment offers a welcoming city sanctuary. It’s worth noting you’ll need to climb one flight of stairs to reach the entrance, but you’ll find everything you could need to settle in and relax. The open-plan layout is perfect for solo travellers or couples with the handy addition of a sofa bed in the living room. Plus, it’s a fantastic base for work trips or sightseeing with Angel Tube Station just a short walk away. There’s also plenty to explore in the neighbourhood with restaurants, cafes, shops and theatres just five-minutes away.

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.

Have a Pint with a view at the Narrowboat Pub
A pub with canal views, serving craft beers, cask ales and rustic food, including Sunday lunch. It also does really outstanding breakfasts.

Pophams is a real find. Located on a quiet street in Islington, they produce the flakiest pastries in London and incorporate some unusual flavours too. Coffee is from Ozone and is just as well made.
