Set on a leafy residential street in North London, this apartment lets you experience a more local side of the capital. That’s not to say the bright lights are out of reach – in fact, you can get to King’s Cross station in twenty minutes, so it’s easy to venture into the city. Offering space for a solo traveller or couple, this home is a practical pick for a work trip or weekend away. And the kitchen is handy for breakfast or when you’ve had your fill of restaurant food. Just don’t miss a drink in a cosy neighbourhood pub.

Home truths
There's no lift here. You'll need to be able to climb stairs to reach the entrance of the home on the first floor.
There's no air conditioning here and no fans are provided, so you might find the home a little warm in the summer months.
Parking in London can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible. There are bus stops nearby and Canonbury Overground station is a seven-minute walk away.

Local guide
About Dalston
Although Dalston is not a Central London location and is fairly residential, it really has a lot going for it that makes it one of the most popular neighbourhoods to hang out in on the weekend. Urbanised and multi-cultural, many Londoners flock to Dalston for trendy brunch spots, vintage shops, great food and buzzing nightlife. We would start the day with breakfast at Hash E8 or Cafe Route, mooch around...
