Perks for the Parents
This handsome Victorian terrace near the Finsbury Park tube station is a great home away from home, sleeping 10-12. With 2 double bedrooms and 2 kids rooms plus a double loft bedroom, there's space for all the family - or for 2 smaller families traveling together. Play in the nearby parks, shop and eat in North London's upscale high streets and walk down the road to jump on the Tube to explore the rest of London's treasures.
Why Kids Love it
This private family home is great for kids and includes toys, books, games and a nature hut in the garden just for them. Bedrooms are set up for kids, and the open kitchen-diner makes mealtimes easy. Bathrooms include a tub and shower. Baby items including a changing table, crib and high chair and potties may be available on request.
Things to Know
Minimum stay: 2 nights. A travel crib can be added on request. The house is on a safe residential road close to Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium - when Arsenal play at home, you can hear the crowd roar when they score (but that’s only 20 days a year). Note that there are no stair gates. There are plenty of green spaces nearby: Finsbury Park and Clissold Park are within walking distance, while the Emirates Stadium offers tours.
About the Location
The house is in Zone 2 and close to Finsbury Park tube station for easy access into Central London. It is on a safe residential road; car hire is not essential with easy transit routes nearby, but if you have one, there is paid parking within a couple of streets. Heathrow is the closest major airport to the residence, and is 1 hour 15 minutes by public transport and around the same by car or taxi. London Stansted is just under an hour by car or public transport.
Accommodation Details
This 4-story home has 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The ground floor includes a large kitchen diner with dining table seating 10, and a lounge with piano and space to play. There are 5 bedrooms: 2 large double bedrooms (king and queen), a kids room with a high bed and a pull out bed below, another kids room with bunk beds and a trundle bed, and a loft bedroom with a double bed. The family bathroom has a walk-in shower and double sided bath and there is also a downstairs toilet and a shower room beside the loft bedroom. In the 35ft garden, there is seating, herbs for cooking and swingball.
Style Notes
This 4-floored terraced house is a real treasure trove, decorated in muted Farrow and Ball tones with items from around the world. Details include a Moroccan pendant light in the lounge; vintage suitcases under the bed and an unusual gold-panelled fireguard, plus lovely period touches - a Victorian fireplace in the kids room and a set of vintage children’s books. We love the large garden and the eclectic character throughout.

Finsbury Park, London
Diversity, plenty of parks and football
This multi-ethnic neighborhood in North London is 10 minutes by Tube from Oxford Circus and is defined by its parks. People’s parks in the true sense of the word, they invite joggers, dog walkers, nannies with strollers, children and the elderly to enjoy them together. Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium is here too.
