Charlton Place Islington

This one bedroom, two bathroom home exudes classic English style, and its surrounds are aptly elegant. Take a half an hour stroll down the Regents Canal, past gentrified industrial warehouses and Victorian mansions, to the alt chic of Shoreditch and London Fields, with its array of quirky boutiques and artisan coffee houses. Wanderlust sated, head back to take a constitutional in the flag-stoned garden. Pull up a pew at the six seater al fresco dining table with a glass of something aptly refined, and admire how the ivy climbs the old brick of your four storey sanctuary.
