Perched between King's Cross and Camden, this smart bolthole is as central as London living gets. Not that you’d know it. Set in a gated development, it’s a surprisingly peaceful spot. A smart pick for friends or family sharing, both bedrooms feel light-filled and thoughtfully styled, and the small balcony is a nice touch for when the sun shines on London. Bringing a four-legged friend along with you? Regent's Canal is just a few minutes from your door for morning walks.

Local guide
About Kings Cross
Kings Cross might have a historically seedy reputation on account of being a major London transport hub but things have certainly changed. The area has recently undergone major regeneration works, been pumped with some serious investment, and it is now home to some serious players on the restaurant scene (Granger & Co and Caravan to name just two). You can see some world-class contemporary art at Gagosian Gallery's largest London outpost and you're also within easy walking distance of the charming literary area of Bloomsbury on one side and desirable Islington on the other.
