1 Bathroom shared If you want to experience London at it's best then come to Camden. This area of London is central, safe and packed full of cafes, bars, famous nightclubs, music venues and the world famous Camden Market along with beautiful parks and Primrose Hill. There is now Hawley Wharf right by the Market which showcases world food stalls. You can walk there in 8 minutes from my home. Then a walk along the canal brings you to the Kings Cross area of London which is the coolest place to be seen. Welcome!
I live in the heart of Camden Town, in a Victorian terrace of houses right in the CENTRE of London. If you look on a map of London - I live to the right of Regents Park.
** Here is what Leanne from the US had to say: ‘We absolutely loved everything about our stay. Your home was simply magical, we loved being surrounded with treasures from around the world. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience to make our first trip to London memorable’.

For Movie Fans;
At the back of St Pancras Station ( Batman Begins 2005) is Somerstown, featured in the film of the same name. Chaplin 1992 and countless films were filmed by the canal there, which has now been opened up for visitors and has a new street food market and a brilliant music venue called Kings Place. The Spice Girls filmed in the now magnificent St Pancras Hotel -- well worth a visit. All 8 Harry Potter films were filmed at Kings Cross Station so fans will want to visit platform 9 and 3/4 - ask anyone where it is. Alfie, Breaking and Entering, Nanny Mcfee 2 were filming in that area as well as Regents Park, Primrose Hill, Regents Canal. Camden has been filmed in numerous times. And Robert Downey Jnr had his photo taken right outside my front door for Sherlock Holmes. And I missed it…

GUEST WELCOME:
I am travelling for a little while and have put you in the capable hands of Veronica and her team. They will liaise with you, meet you personally and answer all your questions.
I have had over 2,500 guests staying since about 2012, London’s Olympics. I’ve loved receiving people from all over the world and showing them the best that London has to offer. This summer will be slightly different but I am confident that my home will provide you with a comfy haven after rushing around London all day.
If you want to visit certain places, make sure that you book these early - especially if you are coming this summer. For instance the Harry Potter Experience in Leavsden Studios gets booked up months ahead.
This flat is ideal for 2 couples. Families with small children will struggle as I have no cot, gates for the stairs, and, 2 double beds, no twin beds.
