Couples seeking an off-the-beaten-track London stay will adore this stylish apartment. It's located on the leafy streets of laid-back Newington Green, a hip North London neighbourhood that's home to a growing collection of artisanal eateries, cosy coffee shops and specialist food stores. Great gastropubs, trendy Dalston and Stoke Newington's boutiques are also in strolling distance, and buses run direct to Oxford Street, so you can be in central London in twenty minutes. At home, you'll love holing up in this hideaway, snuggling by the log-burner on the squishy leather sofa and listening to your favourite tunes on the surround sound system. With a hide rug, cushy Fatboy bean bag chair and prints by a local artist, there's a cool vibe here that we love, and the country-chic kitchen impresses, too, with everything you need to rustle up a tasty meal. The bedroom faces the garden, so you'll wake up to birdsong, and there's even a desk if you need to check in with the office. For a relaxed stay with easy access to the city centre, this little bolthole has you covered.

Home truths

    The closest tube station is Highbury & Islington – a fifteen-minute walk away – but Canonbury Overground station is five minutes away, and the area is well-served by busses that go to Oxford Circus, the city and Victoria

    There is access to the garden, but your host Joanne would rather you use it for the use of smoking only, as she lives upstairs and uses the garden frequently come summer months

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.
