Presented as a beautiful family home in a mid-century mews house, this stay offers quiet, exclusivity and locality. Nestled in the heart of lively Camden Town, the location truly is excellent, no matter what brings you to the city. Scour the markets, nipple on street food and enjoy live music at the traditional English pubs – the famous Camden Lock is just a fourteen-minute stroll from your door. A twenty-minute walk will bring you to Primrose Hill or Hampstead Heath, while a five-minute taxi takes you into King's Cross station. After an action-packed day of exploring, return for a bit of tranquillity and respite in the charming, paved garden. The home itself is just as serene, with wooden flooring, vintage prints and furnishings, a collection of books and an assembly of luscious houseplants that create a chic yet relaxed living space, so you can recharge your batteries. Stick a vinyl on the record player, gather for a sing-song around the piano, or enjoy a spot of afternoon reading while the kid plays in their room – there's plenty of toys to keep them happy.

About Camden Town
Famed for its rock ‘n’ roll history and eclectic markets, Camden is arguably London’s coolest neighbourhood. Come for the alternative music scene, and stay for the array of buzzy eateries, unique shopping haunts and vibrant street art. In the seventies, Camden was the place to be, and while it may not be considered as hot as it was in its glory days, the northern neighbourhood is still packed with charm...
