Modern and inviting, this Kentish Town apartment draws you in with a kitchen and living space bathed in natural light – the kind of room where long dinners stretch into easy evenings on the sofa. Each bedroom sits on the lower ground floor with its own en-suite, while underfloor heating with individual room controls means everyone stays comfortable. Step outside and you're five minutes from Kentish Town Tube on the Northern line, a twenty-minute walk from Camden Market, and well within reach of Hampstead Heath – a genuinely useful base for exploring north London at your own pace.

Home truths
The two bedrooms are on the lower ground floor, reached by a long, steep staircase from the entrance level. If you're travelling with elderly guests or very young children, it's worth factoring this in before you book.
This apartment has no air conditioning, so summer stays can feel a little warm.
You won't need a car here. Kentish Town is well connected by the Tube, Overground, and bus, and you're within walking distance of shops, cafes, and restaurants. Parking in London can be tricky, so we recommend leaning on public transport where possible.
