Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Fans of Arsenal will be over the moon with this home's location, just a six-minute walk from the team's stadium. However, that's far from the apartment's only selling point. Many of the Georgian building's original features have been retained, such as the ornate fireplace and tall windows that gift the space with natural light. The host has done an excellent job with the contemporary interior design full of rich colours and plush furnishings, so much so that it would have even the most diehard of Tottenham supporters nodding their approval. Aside from football, guests should take advantage of being only fifteen minutes from Finsbury Park, or just under twenty from the beginning of Upper Street, which has a wealth of restaurants, charming boutiques and theatres to discover.
