There's a stark difference between this Victorian home's interior and its back garden. Behind the front door lies room after room of well-executed minimalism, with a muted colour palette throughout, statement furnishings adding some character and a general absence of clutter meaning that it feels instantly calming. Out through the glass doors, however, you'll encounter an exterior that abides by the maxim of more is more. There are so many plants out here and whoever arranged it is quite clearly talented, as it looks far from overgrown ― instead, it's a wonderfully peaceful place to escape to whenever the hustle and bustle of London get too much. Until that point, there's a lot to explore in the local neighbourhood. To your east, the buzzy bars and restaurants of Shoreditch can be reached in about fifteen minutes on foot. Alternatively, the banks of Regent's Canal are only five minutes' walk away and offer a slightly different way to see the UK's capital.
