Punk Hip: Plush 1-bed in Camden Town

Summary:
Who wouldn’t want to stay in trendy Camden Town on a trip to London? This first floor apartment is just a short walk from where it’s all hip and happening. At the same time it is on a quiet street surrounded by trees.

The Space:
Plenty of thought (not to mention money) has gone into the renovation of this 1-bed first floor apartment.

The first thing you’ll probably notice is how the high ceilings and big windows give the place a real sense of spaciousness. Nowhere more so than in the lounge, in which you should immediately feel at home. That’s thanks to the fireplace, bookshelves, dining table and widescreen TV, which you can watch from the comfy sofa.

You’ll find another big window in the bedroom, together with a beautifully presented king bed and mirrored wardrobe in which to store your stuff.

The bathroom has been refurbished too and features a bath with shower. And the kitchen’s new as well, with a shiny white floor that matches the colour of the units that house an integral oven, fridge and freezer.

This place really has all the style of some of the best hotels, with the added advantage of all the facilities and freedom you get when you’re at home.

Guest Access:
The apartment is ideal for a professional couple wanting to stay somewhere stylish and central, with London’s main attractions all within easy reach. It’s located on the first floor and accessed via steps outside the front of the property and a staircase inside. The owners offer you exclusive use of their apartment.

The Neighborhood:
No trip to London can truly be said to be complete without a visit to cool and chic, hip and happening Camden Town. And this apartment is no more than a five minute walk away.

Located on a quiet, leafy residential road, all Camden’s eclectic mix of market stalls, shops, bars, restaurants and live music and theatre venues are literally on your doorstep. So if you’re out late, there’s no need to worry about how you’re getting home - a quick stroll will get you there.

There’s plenty more to see nearby, including one of the capital’s biggest tourist attractions - London Zoo, which sits on the northern tip of Regent’s Park - itself a great place for a leisurely walk, picnic and snooze in the sun.

Primrose Hill is close by too, from where you can see some of the most stunning views of London. And for sports fans, if you’re looking for somewhere to stay while the cricket is on, Lord’s is just over the far side of the park, a short bus or cab ride away.

Getting Around:
Of course, you’ll probably want to explore more of London than the places on your doorstep. Handy, then, that Camden Town tube station is less than five minutes walk away. It’s on the Northern Line, with direct links to Hampstead, Leicester Square, Waterloo and The Oval, and is just two stops from the mainline railway stations of Euston and King’s Cross.

Because Camden Town is such a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, plenty of buses serve the area and connect you with the rest of London. There are Night Buses and London’s famous black cabs too, so you can get back to the apartment whatever time you decide to call it a day.

As if the area hasn’t got enough going for it, Camden also has its own canal, so you can take a super-relaxing boat trip along it from Camden Lock.
