Situated in the quiet residential neighbourhood of Somers Town between King's Cross and Camden, this apartment takes up the coveted top-floor position of the building and comes with a rooftop terrace. OK, the views won't have you swooning, but there's enough space to get a little fresh air during the warmer months. The interior design is modern if a little anonymous, but you might not be spending all that much time inside anyway, what with all the museums, restaurants and shops that lie within easy walking distance from the front door.

Local guide
About Kings Cross
Kings Cross might have a historically seedy reputation on account of being a major London transport hub but things have certainly changed. The area has recently undergone major regeneration works, been pumped with some serious investment, and it is now home to some serious players on the restaurant scene (Granger & Co and Caravan to name just two). You can see some world-class contemporary art at Gagosian Gallery's largest London outpost and you're also within easy walking distance of the charming literary area of Bloomsbury on one side and desirable Islington on the other.
