The Ginger Meggs

Bright and colourful, this trendsetting apartment is the perfect spot to take a well-earned break. Stepping in to look around the decor, you'll notice the eclectic artwork, vibrant scatter cushions and chic wood-framed sofa. But it's the little things that we really love about this cosy home – from the curated plants to the welcome hamper treats and breakfast tray – the place calls out comfort and a keen eye for detail. Find a sunny spot by the window to catch up on literature, play games and generally kick back. Upstairs, you'll find a stylish bedroom with pops of orange, a quirky painting and vintage radio. Located in the leafy borough of Canonbury, once home to George Orwell, you will be within easy reach of Essex Road, Highbury & Islington and Shoreditch. Take the sixteen-minute tube ride to hipper-than-hip Shoreditch High Street, discovering fashionable boutiques, trendy bars and artisan coffee shops. Out and about or snuggled up indoors, any day is made better bookmarked with a long soak in the swanky bathtub.
