Song for the Soul

Just a ten-minute walk from King's Cross St. Pancras, this wonderfully curated home is within easy reach of London’s top cultural sights. The house is set on a gated housing estate, in the heart of a local community with a quiet, traffic-free square out front. Forget stuffy hotels – when you come here it’ll feel like home away from home. Laid out over three floors, it’s full of chic personal touches, like the extensive vinyl record collection, and the pops of plant life in each room. There’s a wide range of reading material, board games, and recipe books so you can hone your culinary repertoire in the well equipped kitchen.

There’s construction work taking place behind the home, so you may hear noise between 8am and 6pm in the week and on some Saturday mornings. But since you are in a prime position to explore all of London’s delights, you’ll be raring to go, and you’ll come home to a quiet and peaceful house. Make a beeline for the British Museum, an eighteen-minute walk away, to see their vast, extraordinary collection spanning over 2 million years of human life. You’re also a twenty-minute stroll from the trendy Coal Drops Yard with its myriad shops and restaurants, and an eight-minute walk from the Charles Dickens Museum. There are multiple tube and train lines from King's Cross St. Pancras, so you can easily hop around London.

After a day of exploring, put on a vinyl record and kick back on the sofa, or enjoy a glass of wine in the serenity of your back garden. On balmy evenings, fire up the barbecue and dine alfresco together before settling down for a movie.
