Rich chapter
Tradition is the word at Gibson Square – an apartment in a Georgian townhouse, just off bustling Upper Street. The front door leads upstairs to the kitchen on the right, which has white cabinets and a rough-hewn wooden dining table. Also to the right is a door leading down to the paved communal garden, and straight ahead is the sitting room. You’ll find a large gilt mirror and a grey sofabed, while cream walls are lined on both sides by shelves of books.

Next, you’ll find the single bedroom (upstairs and to the right), which has an antique sideboard and a vintage globe. There’s an ornate armchair in the master bedroom, next door, and straight ahead is the bathroom. It’s contemporary yet quaint, with a sash window, white metro tiles and a green pastel palette.
