3-bed apartment, WC1
Situated on a quiet tree-lined street, less than 10 minutes' walk from Kings Cross St Pancras Station, and similarly the delights of Islington's Upper Street, my apartment is perfectly located for a short (or not-so-short) visit to London<br /><br />Interesting (?) facts:<br /><br />- Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov ("Lenin") lived around the corner whilst helping to mastermind the Russian Revolution.<br /><br />- Sirius Black (& later his more famous godson) lived on the adjacent Claremont Square, then known as 12 Grimmauld Place<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />The apartment consists of 3 bedrooms (a large bedroom in the loft, one double bedroom with ensuite, and one small bedroom), family bathroom, large lounge, all mod cons (cable tv & wifi included), a fully-fitted kitchen, and a rear garden.<br /><br />**I have stated that my place can accommodate up to 8 people - there are two large sofas in the lounge which, although not sofa-beds, are comfortable enough to sleep on for a few nights.

Seriously, you couldn't wish for a better part of London to stay in (if I say so myself!).<br /><br />Islington's Upper Street has a range of shops, cafes, restaurants and bars as extensive as any other area of London, but at a much more leisured pace. For even more selection, try Exmouth Market and Clerkenwell - or explore the restaurants and bars (including the longest champagne bar in Europe!) at St Pancras. If you prefer to cook yourself, there's a range of supermarkets close by to get your supplies - or you can visit Chapel Market for fresh fruit & veg at super-cheap prices...<br /><br />For the fitness enthusiasts, there are numerous gyms close by (I can let you use my pass!), as well as Regent's Canal which is a great morning run route (also great for cycling or walking) taking you westward through Camden Town, London Zoo and out to Little Venice - or eastward through Shoreditch and London Fields out to the Olympic Park!<br /><br />More sedate entertainment is available at Sadle
Professional (lawyer, but don't hold that against me!), living and working in London. I enjoy the usual range of activities (despite a mildly concerning obsession with watching rugby, particularly NZ) and am generally easy-going and quite social.
