Overlooking Regent’s Canal and ideally located just a ten-minute walk from Kings Cross and St Pancras International stations, this stylish apartment is an ideal base for business travellers and culture seekers alike. Inside, a neutral colour palette is offset by vibrant pops of colour in the open-plan living area’s contemporary decor, with ample natural light pouring in through the large windows. Our favourite spot is the enclosed balcony, framed by floor-to-ceiling views over the canal and your neighbourhood's rooftops. Sit here with your morning coffee while watching the hustle and bustle below or watch the sunset over a glass of wine before heading out to sample the local dining scene. The bedroom is pared-back yet wonderfully comfortable, promising a dreamy night’s sleep in its beautifully dressed bed, while the sleek bathroom’s rainfall shower beckons luxurious soaks ahead of a day of sightseeing. Speaking of exploring, you’ve got plenty to see and do within easy reach, including the myriad shopping and dining options at Coal Drops Yard (a ten-minute walk), the British Library (a seventeen-minute walk) and vibrant Camden Market (a fifteen-minute walk). You’re also ideally placed to take a trip to Paris on the Eurostar from nearby London St. Pancras International, but with the excitement of your buzzing neighbourhood to enjoy – as well easy access to wider London from this central spot – there’s no need to go far for a good time.

Local guide
About Kings Cross
Kings Cross might have a historically seedy reputation on account of being a major London transport hub but things have certainly changed. The area has recently undergone major regeneration works, been pumped with some serious investment, and it is now home to some serious players on the restaurant scene (Granger & Co and Caravan to name just two). You can see some world-class contemporary art at Gagosian Gallery's largest London outpost and you're also within easy walking distance of the charming literary area of Bloomsbury on one side and desirable Islington on the other.
