Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Just a three-minute walk from Angel tube station, this elegant loft-style space is housed in a classic white stucco Islington townhouse. In this restored Georgian building, the top floor is where you’ll find your charming new home. After entering this historic exterior, there's a delightful contrast inside. The interiors merge quaint original features, such as exposed beams, floorboards, and charming attic windows with a sleek, modern aesthetic. Warm and rustic furnishings like the wooden dining bench bring yet another vintage edge, one of our favourite pieces being the rusty, red velvet sofa. And in the bedroom, the wicker bed frame looks beautifully natural against the pristine white walls and sleek wardrobes. After a peaceful slumber, your host generously provides granola for breakfast, so you can start the day with a wholesome bowl as you plan the day ahead. Head four minutes north to walk along the serene Regent’s Canal, or maybe even hitch a ride on a barge. On your way back, take a detour through Angel’s streets full of high-end restaurants, cute boutiques, and English pubs. Anyone for a pint?

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...
