A flat with plenty of charm, this Islington home is a solid base for exploring the capital. You'll find plenty of delightful features here, from the exposed brickwork to the elaborately-tiled bathroom floor, and we love the large kitchen, perfect for the budding chef in the group – although it'll be a bit of a squeeze around the small dining table. We are also fond of the small patio, ideal for catching that rare bit of London sun. And with a tube station a short stroll away, you're well connected for a bit of exploring.

About Canonbury
Canonbury is one of the most friendly and unpretentious pockets of Islington, packed full of gorgeous period houses, independent cafes and antique shops. Extremely well connected transport-wise by the Victoria Line from Highbury and Islington station, it works well as a base to explore both Central London and more villagey areas like Stoke Newington further to the East. You'll be rubbing shoulders with trendy media types and affluent young families and working out how to move here long-term yourself.
