General Overview

Our Zone 1 Central London flat is conveniently located in Islington, just North of the City of London. Embedded in the young and arty vibe of Noth-East London it offers easy access to all of London's attractions. We love the surprisingly quiet courtyard of our South facing bright flat.

The Space

The quiet apartment has 65 sqm, 1 bedroom and a large open plan kitchen/living room with a futon, which can be used as a sofa or a second bed. The flat is ideal for a couple, but could accommodate a small family or 2 couples. It is bright, south facing towards a quiet, traffic free communal courtyard with some greenery. We have redecorated the flat in 2025 with wood flooring and painted it in warm colours. The furniture is hand carpented in Scandi style by local makers from Lozi desgin.

Guest Access

The flat is on the 3rd floor of a modern building with elevator access.. The in total 25 apartments over 4 floors are mainly occupied by young people.

Notes

Public rosemary gardens is 100 yards away and Shoreditch Park as well as Regent Canal are a 5 minutes walk.

Both of us are into cultural activities, good food, nature, cycling and hiking, among many other things. We are a teacher and an economist and love London for its diversity. We like travelling to really experience other places; cities and countryside alike.
