This apartment is a hidden gem above Kentish Town, with a private balcony ideal for morning coffee or evening drinks above the rooftops. Inside, the space is flooded with natural light from skylights in the dining area, and each of the three bedrooms has a private bathroom. You're a ten-minute walk from Kentish Town Underground, putting Camden Market, London Bridge, and other iconic landmarks within easy reach by Tube. With local shops and cafes just a block away, we think it's the best of both worlds.

Home truths
Parking in London can be tricky, so we recommend exploring on foot or sticking to public transport where possible.
You'll be a ten-minute walk from Kentish Town Underground station, with shops and restaurants a block away on Kentish Town Road.
The living area and one of the bedrooms have skylight windows, so they cannot be completely darkened. However, the other two bedrooms do not have skylights and can be fully darkened as needed.
Kindly note that there is an internal noise sensor within the home, monitoring high decibels – no audio will be recorded.

Local guide
About Kentish Town
Just North of Camden Town, this eclectic hub is known for its trendy and sophisticated lifestyle as well as excellent transport links. There is a real community feel in amongst the Victorian terraces, independent boutiques and stores, and the beautiful Hampstead Heath is within walking distance. Head to The Lion & Unicorn for a traditional British pub experience with a difference – enjoy a pint while watching a play upstairs. For evenings, the stylish French bistro Patron Cave à Manger is a must visit for cocktails and exquisite food.
