Ask the host anything

Do you have a question about this home or the local area?

This home is bright and charming, with its minimalist styling warmed by your host’s lovely artistic sensibilities – his own beautiful photographs and personal art collection decorate the walls, along with a set of treasures collected from his journeys travelling the world. We especially love the large sunny balcony and its comfortable patio set – ideal for newspaper and coffee mornings or pre-dinner drinks. There’s also a sleek well-equipped kitchen, so stream your playlist on the speakers while you chop up some vegetables and then set the glass living room table for dinner. If you’d rather eat out, you’re in the heart of Islington with plenty of varied and delicious dining options all around you. You’ll find a more local, lived-in neighbourhood here, but the nearby Northern line connects you to the hub of the city easily. Spend mornings wandering along the Regent’s Canal, an eight-minute walk away, and evenings exploring the nearby pubs and bars.

Local guide


About Islington

Tree-lined terraces of very enviable Georgian townhouses, amazing restaurants, coffeeshops, and gastropubs, it's not hard to see why Islington is so popular with affluent media types. It's very well connected (ten minutes on the Victoria Line to Oxford Circus) and it's got a wonderfully residential feel - almost totally tourist free for some strange reason. Have a roast lunch at the Drapers Arms on a weekend and you'll quickly realise what makes Islington living so sought-after.
