A beautifully designed one-bedroom one-bathroom with a separate study room in the heart of Islington.

Location
Situated just off City Road in Angel, Islington, this gated residential development occupies a prime Zone 1 location in central London. The scheme comprises 130 contemporary apartments arranged within a 1.7-acre site, combining modern residential design with landscaped communal gardens and a more private setting away from the surrounding city streets.

The location sits between the City of London, Clerkenwell and the wider Islington neighbourhood, making it particularly attractive to professionals working in central London. While the City Road corridor provides convenient access to business districts, nearby Upper Street offers a more traditional neighbourhood atmosphere, with independent boutiques, cafés, restaurants and cultural venues.
