Whether you’re in the capital for work or pleasure, this contemporary pad has you covered. Located in trendy Angel, you’ll find cafes, bakeries, a 24-hour supermarket, and a 24-hour gym within a five-minute walk. And for reaching the rest of the city, the Tube is less than ten minutes away. At the heart of the home is the open-plan living area, where you can cook a meal, relax on the sofa, or catch up with work at the dedicated desk. While this isn’t the biggest London apartment in our collection, it’s ideal for a couple or solo traveller wanting a practical base in a convenient spot.

Home truths
The bedroom is quite small with limited storage space. And the double bed is positioned against a wall, so it can only be accessed from one side. However, this room has everything you need for a comfortable night's sleep.
You'll have your own private entrance here.
Parking in London can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.
There’s a rare chance your host might need to carry out a property check or maintenance during your stay – advance notice would be given.

About Angel
Angel is a highly sought-after part of London, and for good reason. It's packed with trendy bars and restaurants lining Upper Street — the main road running from Angel through to Highbury and Islington — and an array of independent shops lining its side streets. A commuter's dream, Angel not only borders the north of London, but is also within walking distance of East London's Shoreditch, and borders King’s Cross...

Have FairTrade coffee at Goswell Road Coffee
Between Farrington and Angel lays another Brick Lane coffee initiative for a relaxed coffee shop. Grab a coffee and embrace the "not too serious, let's appreciate life" vibe around here.
Celebrate the trip at Frederick's
A grand space for big celebrations, for cosy Mediterranean food, a modern environment and long-standing tradition. Opened in 1969 it's still in the same family.
Nestle in a traditional pub at the Old Fountain
This gorgeous Georgian styled pub has a combination of great contemporary IPA's along with more old-school ale options. Situated just minutes away from old street, this pub is truly indispensable.
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.
Take a trip to Victoria Miro Gallery
One of the hottest art galleries in town, the queues have consolidated the importance of this avante-garde gallery in the British Art scene.
Try the Best Tacos from Breddos
This teensy spot still marks a helluva leap from their market origins. We loved the queso fundido and pulpo-topped tostada. Oh - and don't forget the tacos.
Dine at Shepherdess BBQ Cafe
Bright, casual haunt with utterly fabulous breakfast, grills, and cups of tea and coffee. Highly recommended for delicious food, reasonable prices, and lovely staff.
Take a morning stroll in Shoreditch Park
A lovely park with loads of space and outdoor facilities including an outdoor gym, basketball court, volleyball court, and ping pong table. Perfect for walking, working out, or enjoying a coffee nearby.
