It’s hard to imagine a better location for this elegant London bolthole. Set within a quiet, leafy residential area, you're just steps away from the city’s famous Sadler's Wells Theatre, Angle Tube Station, and bustling Clerkenwell. Housed within an iconic listed building designed by the renowned Modernist architect Berthold Lubetkin, the apartment and garden estate has been given a prestigious Grade II listing by the English Heritage in recognition of its architectural significance. Inside, you’ll find a home flooded with natural light thanks to the large panoramic windows which give way to views the shared gardens below. The hosts have sensitively fused contemporary interiors and a dazzling white bathroom and kitchen, alongside antiques to add layers of interest and warmth. Step outside and into the smart streets of Clerkenwell and you’ll discover a neighbourhood popular with creative firms and dotted with stylish apartment blocks in converted Victorian warehouses. Foodies will do well here, with a plethora of Michelin-starred restaurants, cosy gastropubs, and Exmouth Market, which has a twice-weekly street-food market. Or stroll over to neighbouring Spitalfields, for antique browsing and much more at the famous market. And don’t forget to book a night at the theatre - it would be rude not to when it's just across the street.
