Situated between Kilburn and Kensal Rise – this home has a fantastic location in friendly Queen's Park. Have a stroll along Salusbury Road (eight minutes on foot) with its independent shops, gastropubs, cafes, and global eateries. It's also the location of the Sunday Queen's Park Farmers' Market. After browsing the stalls, head to the park, a five-minute wander, where you'll find a bandstand, swimming pool, tennis court, golf course, pétanque, and a playground. It's the same walking distance to Queen's Park tube and a fifteen-minute ride to Oxford Circus, so it's super easy to get around. When you're not exploring all that London has to offer, relax in the private garden and watch the birds on the feeders while you have a cup of coffee. The patio is also the perfect spot in the summer to enjoy the breakfast provided by your lovely host Anna. Inside, warm wood and grey tones create a calming space. Large sliding doors allow light to flood in and offer views over the greenery. There's a desk space here, too, if you need to catch up on some work. Later, get ready in the stylish bathroom before heading out to one of the local restaurants... for dinner.

Local guide
About Kilburn
Busy and bustling Kilburn High Road is the central artery of an area whose down-to-earth-character continues to serve its long-standing Irish and Caribbean communities well. Kilburn still has something raw and real about it and it’s a great part of town to stay in if you want to experience authentic multicultural London. It’s incredibly diverse ethnically but has also recently become popular with young families attracted by the leafy streets...
