Our home is a four-bedroom Georgian townhouse, built around 1820, tucked away on a quiet square in the heart of Islington's Barnsbury conservation area. It spans four floors, with two bathrooms, a kitchen, reception area, dining room and lounge. Outside, a small, walled garden offers a peaceful spot for morning coffee, family dinners, or a quiet moment with a book.
Living here, we enjoy walking in the footsteps of Orwell, Dickens and Woolf, with a fantastic range of restaurants, pubs and theaters just steps away. Sunday mornings are ideal for a stroll into the city, with church bells ringing out, perhaps stopping by Brick Lane, Borough Market, or Spitalfields for food and shopping. Being in Zone 1 means that London’s music, theater, parks, museums, galleries and markets are within easy reach on foot or by tube, bus or overground - yet we still have the calm of a tranquil Georgian square to come home to.
