The house is situated in a conservation area, close to the many bars, restaurants and shopping facilities of Upper Street, Islington. It is very well located for access to the West End and Oxford Street, and is a short distance from Highbury and Islington tube station(zone 2) and Angel tube station(zone 1). Islington is a popular area with families but also has enough bars and restaurants for couples to be entertained. Kings Cross and St Pancreas mainline stations are approx 1 mile away where there are trains to the North and Scotland, and Paris (only 2 hours 15 mins away), and local services e.g Brighton (1hour). Approx distances to London's main attractions -Regents Park/Madam Tussauds/London Zoo 2 miles, Camden Market 1 mile, Tate Modern/South Bank 4 miles, Leicester Square 4 miles, Houses of Parliament/Trafalgar Square 4 miles, Hampstead Heath 3 miles, Covent Garden 3 miles. These are all easily accessible by tube, bus or taxis'. Oxford circus is only 4 stops away on the tube. Something about ourselves
[
]
We are a family of 5. Graham is a full-time lawyer and Angie is a full time mother and part-time lawyer. We have three well behaved children (2 boys, Elliot and Ezra aged 15 and 12, and a girl, Eva aged 9) so the house is child friendly and there are plenty of toys (and a PS3 with many games to try out!) and musical instruments for visiting children to play with. We have had many sucessful exchanges in the past. We are respectiveful of other people's property and would ask others to be respectful of our home. We enjoy travelling. We are open to suggestions and are up for adventure.
