House of Hemp is a super stylish home with a design that maximises the space. The palette of earthy colours works harmoniously with the abundance of natural fabrics, and cool light fittings smoothly blend the original cornicing with modern design. The home is situated on a busy main road, so street noise can be heard in the street-facing living room. But, the bedroom is definitely quieter and the TV makes it a great space to curl up in after a day exploring with a movie in bed. While there isn’t much storage space, one of the kitchen cupboards actually doubles up as a wardrobe.

Local guide
About Angel
Angel is a highly sought-after part of London, and for good reason. It's packed with trendy bars and restaurants lining Upper Street — the main road running from Angel through to Highbury and Islington — and an array of independent shops lining its side streets. A commuter's dream, Angel not only borders the north of London, but is also within walking distance of East London's Shoreditch, and borders King’s Cross...
