Silk White

Silk White: London

A quiet haven above the busy streets of Islington, this white-washed apartment is a delight to return to after navigating the frenetic capital. The living space is kitted out with everything you need for a fuss-free stay – there’s a kitchenette with an all-important wine fridge, dining table for lunches at home, and a plump chaise end sofa for getting seriously comfortable with your book of choice. When it’s sunny out, take advantage of the communal garden and enjoy a cup of tea alfresco. If you’re visiting on business, the uncluttered office space with nifty adjustable desk makes remote working a breeze. Caledonian Road tube station is seven minutes down the road, whisking you to Covent Garden in eight minutes flat. Spend an afternoon exploring Camden, reached in ten minutes by bus, before you head out to one of your neighbourhood’s best restaurants – we recommend Westerns Laundry for small plates and natural wine.
