Camden Town is known for its bustling music scene, but at the other end of the main stretch, there's a quieter side to this vibrant area. With Regent’s Park just a minute away on foot, this home practically has this tranquil parkland as its own back garden. We love the interiors just as much – a stylish open-plan living room and kitchen lends itself well to the brightly lit space. With Eames chairs and a LC4-style cowhide recliner, the furniture has clearly been chosen by a host with taste. The animal theme continues with faux fur throws on the L-shaped sofa, as well as a matching rug. Elegance is another key feature of the bedroom. The quality furnishings are simple and understated, with more huge windows letting sunlight flood into the home. To contrast these calm interiors, head ten minutes into the heart of Camden, where you’ll find plenty of colourful scenes. Restaurants of every cuisine imaginable, traditional pubs for a pint in the sunshine, classy kerbside cafés and bakeries – this area of London is a paradise if you’re into food and drink. Walk it all off by taking the long way back via Primrose Hill, one of north London’s favourite viewpoints, just eleven minutes from home.
