Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Combing industrial-chic, ethnic influence and attention to detail, this white stucco Islington apartment is all about the design. Soft pink hues cover the walls, and original features such as the polished wooden floorboards and exposed beams are intermingled with modern furnishings like the black metal bookshelf unit and glass coffee table. And we just love the sleek marble kitchen, complete with a sunny dining spot, that's perfect for whipping up and enjoying home-cooked breakfasts. Come afternoon, enjoy a good book and perch on the rustic window-bench. You'll notice the giant cherry sculpture – another quirky touch that blends old and new in elegant fashion. In the bedrooms, the calming palette, soothing artwork, ethnic adornments and rattan headboard makes for a peaceful morning setting. Stroll across to the en-suite bathroom, open the charming slide and track door, and enjoy a long soak in the rainfall shower. When you're ready to set off, the local area is full of traditional pubs, restaurants and classy cafés – you'll find it's more of a friendly neighbourhood than a tourist hotspot. Take a wander around tranquil Regent's Canal, just a four-minute stroll away, or hop on the tube at Angle Station (three minutes walk), taking you... into King's Cross within twelve minutes.

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...
