One bedroom apartment which is my residential home, in the heart of fashionable Angel Islington, suitable for one to two people, 10 mins into the centre of London. A few minutes walk to transport links, shops, restaurants, theatres, cinemas, pubs etc. Angel station is a 6 minutes walk. Kings Cross St Pancras Station 10 minutes by bus or train. The space What makes this space ideal is it's location in Zone 1, Central London. In addition, the flat is conveniently located in the centre of all local amenities whilst also being on a quiet square - best of both worlds! The apartment is designed with floor to ceiling windows, which means the sunlight literally floods in, especially in the mornings, so you will definitely feel like you are on holiday, although you can pull the blinds down if you prefer. For those coming from warmer climates, this is a warm home as the walls are thick and I rarely have to use any heating. At the top of the building is a roof terrace, with views across London. The Gherkin, The Shard, The BT Tower and St Paul's Cathedral are all within eyeshot. Guests will have access to a washing machine, dishwasher, Wi-Fi, and fully equipped brand new kitchen with double fridge freezer and hob/ oven. The bathroom is brand new travertine stone tiled and fitted with underfloor heating, Angel is a trendy, fast paced neighbourhood, you will really feel like you are part of the city. That said, there are quiet spaces, such as garden pubs, and parks nearby. You will be spoilt for choice with hundreds of restaurants and bars lining Upper Street, some of them run and owned by top chefs such as Jamie Oliver. My flat is a 2 minute walk from all of this. There is also a shopping centre 5 minutes away with a 6 screen cinema and more shops and restaurants. Also a 5 minute walk away is one of the oldest street markets in London, Chapel Market. Here you can buy fruit, vegetables, clothing, hardware, hats, bags, more or less anything really. The market is full of real London characters. It's also worth mentioning we have fabulous theatres such as The Almeida, Hen & Chickens, and The Kings Head, all a stone's throw from here. Angel is also the location of a pub called The Camden Head, the only comedy venue in London which has free comedy shows, every night of the week. You can hire cheap bikes on the street outside the property. This facility was put in place by Major Boris Johnson as a way to get people out of their cars. It's a good way to explore the area. Cycling to the West End from here would take about 20 minutes. If cycling is not your thing, then Angel Tube Station is a 6 minute walk and will take you to all London destinations. Also outside the tube station are many different buses which will take you all over London including to Piccadilly Circus, Camden, Knightsbridge, West End, and the stations Kings Cross, Victoria, Euston and Waterloo. Handy if you need to catch a train out of London. All buses are frequent, some as often as every 3 minutes. The building is Grade II listed, and was founded in 1828, formerly The Royal Free Hospital, to provide free hospital care to those who couldn't afford treatment. The title 'Royal' was granted by Queen Victoria in 1837 in recognition of the hospital's work with cholera victims. It's a beautiful building, particularly imposing from the front, with many interesting architectural features. The conversion to housing was completed 20 years ago and was celebrated by the Royal Duchess of Wales who came to hold the opening ceremony. To this day the square is regarded as a flagship development of its kind, and sometimes visited by groups of tourists on historical tours.
