Sweet Orchid

Nestled between Finsbury Park, Highbury and Stoke Newington, this stylish apartment ticks all of our boxes for a comfortable stay in the Big Smoke. We loved the open-plan living space, with walls adorned with contemporary art, book-stuffed shelves to keep you busy on rainy days, and bi-fold doors that let the sunshine in when it’s fair out. Potter around the navy blue kitchen, putting together side dishes for a summer barbecue or preparing picnics to be enjoyed at Clissold Park, a thirteen-minute walk away.

Spend afternoons whizzing around London – catch the tube from Arsenal to Holborn and visit the British Museum, Somerset House and Covent Garden. Head home in the evenings, and after a glass of wine on your private patio, sample the fantastic selection of restaurants along Blackstock Road – it’s only a five-minute saunter from your doorstep.
