Inspired by its leafy surroundings, this gorgeous house in Canonbury Park is an idyllic spot to balance London city living without compromising on being close to nature and tranquillity. As you enter the home, you'll immediately be welcomed by its homely charm. Scandi-style interiors encourage guests to tune in to the art of relaxation. From the bare wood floors to the fluffy rugs and earthy tones in different shades of green, enjoy a relaxing stay making the most of every well-thought-out design detail of the house. And on sunny days, make your way outside to the peaceful garden set up – it is the perfect setting for a spot of afternoon tea. The locale within walking distance also delights as from here, you'll be just five minutes away from Upper Street and an array of restaurants, upmarket boutiques, as well as cafes and eateries, to delve into. Positioned just two minutes away from the New River Walk waterside footpath, embark on scenic strolls amidst nature before retreating to your quiet sanctuary tucked away from the city streets. Please note all stays of 8 nights or more include complimentary weekly cleaning, linen changes and replenishment of toiletries.

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.
