Time-Turner

Time-Turner: Greater London

Time-Turner is like a time capsule from the early twentieth century that’s just been cracked open (albeit one with very fast wi-fi). The antique furniture is beautiful, as are the vintage kitchen appliances. They’re perhaps not as intuitive as modern counterparts, but there’s so much character locked away in this flat that it hardly matters. Even the small accessories and details are all from the same era, creating a captivating, hodge-podge coherence.


Home truths:
*The living room has a slightly lower ceiling than normally expected and it does not get much natural light
*The spiral staircase is steep and narrow
*The bathroom is small and feels more functional than luxurious
*The kitchen is wonderful from an aesthetic and historical perspective, but the appliances are antique
*As it's a lived in home (and a decidedly bohemian one at that), you can expect a bit of wear and tear around the place
*While the windows are double-glazed, the home faces the road, so you might hear some noise
