Contemporary 2-double bedroom flat in Brixton
My newly re-designed apartment is a gem amidst the vibrancy of central Brixton: a haven of exposed brickwork, warm pine floorboards & clear, neat, contemporary lines which extend to the uber modern kitchen and travertine stone clad bathroom. Total surface area of 65 sqm on the Market's doorstep & a 3 min walk to Brixton Underground & Railway station.<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />My apartment is a spacious two bed located on the second floor of a listed Victorian residential building dating back to the 1880's and crowned with a breathtaking roof garden. It's conveniently located bang in the middle of central Brixton, a mere two minute walk from the Underground and railway stations with links to Oxford Circus in 10 mns and to Victoria in 7 respectively. Whilst Marks & Spencers, Sainsburys and all high street amenities are within a few steps' reach, the beauty of the location is that it's comfortably fitted between both Market Row & Brixton Village and their dizzying array of foodie f

A Londoner of 25 years, after all this time I am still making the most of everything the greatest city in the northern hemisphere has on offer, from traditional pubs to evenings of Shakespeare's classics at the Globe theatre, music festivals on the Southbank to contemporary art exhibitions in East London, gigs at the Brixton Academy to street food in Soho etc. - one can never be blasé in London! I'm also a keen traveller, out of the country on a fortnightly basis or so, both in Europe and the Americas - with a marked obsession for Sudamerica (Chile! Brasil!). Food is extremely important to me and one of the perks of being on the road so often - I love recreating in my own kitchen what I've treated my tastebuds to on my travels. I work in publishing so the written word and the arts are  of huge importance to me and a constant source of pleasure, exploration and furthering of knowledge. Socialising in another huuuuge aspect of my life, friends, friends of friends, future friends...bring them all under the same roof! I live in one of London's most exciting neighbourhoods and I am very attached to it - as I am to my gorgeous house which I re designed myself and is both a source of pride and a cosy home.
