Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This ground-floor apartment in a Georgian townhouse guarantees a stay to remember. Not only is the home a ten-minute walk from Islington’s pubs, bars and eateries and around nine minutes on the tube to Oxford Circus, but the private garden features a seating area and a barbecue. Head inside, and you’ll find a desk for remote workers and a fully equipped kitchen for when you fancy dining in. If you’ll be staying as a group of three, one will be on the sofa bed in the living space – fine for a short break, but something to consider if you’re planning an extended visit.

Local guide
About Islington
Tree-lined terraces of very enviable Georgian townhouses, amazing restaurants, coffeeshops, and gastropubs, it's not hard to see why Islington is so popular with affluent media types. It's very well connected (ten minutes on the Victoria Line to Oxford Circus) and it's got a wonderfully residential feel - almost totally tourist free for some strange reason. Have a roast lunch at the Drapers Arms on a weekend and you'll quickly realise what makes Islington living so sought-after.
