Georgian London survives in this beautiful snug of a home. Sit on the Chesterfield sofa below framed tapestries, warmed by a crackling wood-burner, or stand on the Juliet balcony, sipping whiskey and gazing regally at the neighbouring terraces. Full-height windows, fur drapes and a four-poster bed further the classy feel, while cool Tom Dixon brass lights seamlessly add some modern pizzazz. Though the kitchenette is best for small meals, many excellent restaurants await nearby. We would bear in mind that the home has old walls, so it's not the quietest space.

About Clerkenwell

Clerkenwell is a real foodie haven and is buzzing with young creative energy. Exmouth Market and St John Street are home to some of the hippest restaurants in town (Moro, St John, The Modern Pantry) and it's an area where you'll be rubbing shoulders with London's most stylish artsy young professionals. The streets leading up to Angel are absolutely charming and steeped with history. It's great for all you culture vultures too - be sure to catch a show at the UK's leading dance venue Sadler's Wells, and the Barbican Centre isn't far either.
