We're smitten with this family home in Islington. Multiple reception rooms, cosy bedrooms, and a sleek kitchen provide plenty of space for entertaining and relaxing. There's even a private garden with a patio, making it the perfect spot to enjoy alfresco dinners and drinks. The location in Canonbury Grove is also a huge perk. You're just a short walk from the shops and eateries on Upper Street plus within easy reach of the Tube for adventures across London.

Local guide
About Canonbury
Canonbury is one of the most friendly and unpretentious pockets of Islington, packed full of gorgeous period houses, independent cafes and antique shops. Extremely well connected transport-wise by the Victoria Line from Highbury and Islington station, it works well as a base to explore both Central London and more villagey areas like Stoke Newington further to the East. You'll be rubbing shoulders with trendy media types and affluent young families and working out how to move here long-term yourself.

Indulge in Italian food at Trullo
Opened in June 2010, offering a simple, seasonally focused, Italian inspired menu that changes daily. Fresh hand-made pastas and their charcoal grill are the focus points of the menu.

Admire modern Italian masterpieces at Estorick
Housing works by some of the 20th century’s most influential Italian artists, Estorick is a treat for visiting art lovers, with a particularly impressive Futurist collection at its core.

Check what's on at Union Chapel
This gothic revival church is a live event space, working church and a homeless drop-in centre. If there are no events during your stay, this stunning 19th century chapel is still worth a look.

Have a laugh at The Old Queen's Head
One of London's top comedy venues, this quaint pub also is a live music and late-night event space. Head down for early comedy night or their Sunday Social Club and stay until the wee hours.

Dine at The Canonbury Tavern
A stylish bar and British gastro pub offering superb food, excellent service, and a spacious outdoor seating area. Enjoy the versatile menu, great selection of wines, and well-crafted shared plates.

Fall in Love with Ottolenghi's Deli
You can find breakfast, lunch and dinner at this world famous establishment, and if it's not a meal you're after, you can pop in and grab one of the hard to find pantry goods.

Grab a fresh bite at Saponara
This family-run Italian restaurant also contains a deli - the pizzas are delicious, and there's plenty of food for vegetarians. It's also worth picking up breakfast pastries.

Indulge at Udderlicious
This little venue makes home-made Ice cream on the premises, a cheery pastel-painted café hung with retro bunting. Try their specials.

Discover flaky heaven at Pophams
Pophams is a real find. Located on a quiet street in Islington, they produce the flakiest pastries in London and incorporate some unusual flavours too. Coffee is from Ozone and is just as well made.
