Elegant Ground Floor One Bed Apartment With Garden & King Size Bed Near Tube & Train Stations on Piccadily Line
First Impressions
The Elegant Ground Floor One Bed Apartment With Garden & King Size Bed Near Tube & Train Stations on Piccadily Line — yes, that’s quite a mouthful, but honestly, the name tells you everything you need to know. This four-star spot in North London caught my attention because, well, ground floor apartments with actual garden access are pretty rare finds in this city. You know what struck me first? The fact that you can literally step outside onto grass without climbing four flights of stairs.
Location & Getting Around
Here’s the thing about staying in N22 — most tourists skip this area completely, but that’s actually what makes it work. You’re on the Piccadilly line, which means you can get to central London without any transfers, and I mean, that’s gold when you’re dragging luggage around. The apartment sits close enough to both tube and train stations that you’ll hear the occasional rumble, but it’s not the kind of noise that keeps you awake. Plus, being in this part of London means you’re seeing how locals actually live, not just the touristy bits.
The Space Itself
Walking into this apartment, the first thing you notice is how the room feels properly lived-in rather than hotel-sterile. The king-size bed dominates the bedroom (and I mean that in a good way — you’ll actually get a decent night’s sleep), while the kitchen area has everything you need if you want to grab groceries from the local Tesco instead of eating out every meal. The garden access is the real winner here though — there’s something quite nice about having your morning coffee outside, especially when you’re used to cramped hotel rooms.
Neighborhood Life
What I really appreciate about this area is that you get a slice of actual London life. There’s a decent Turkish restaurant about a five-minute walk away that locals queue for (always a good sign), and the high street has those everyday shops that make you feel less like a tourist. You won’t find any major attractions right on your doorstep, but that’s sort of the point — you get the authentic residential experience while still being connected to everything else via the tube.
Why Guests Love It
Look, this isn’t going to wow you with fancy amenities or concierge service, but what it does offer is space, quiet, and that rare thing in London — outdoor access. The 8-point rating makes sense when you consider you’re getting an entire apartment rather than a standard hotel room, plus you can actually cook if you want to save money or just fancy a proper cup of tea made your way. It’s perfect if you’re the type who values having your own space and doesn’t mind being a tube ride away from the main tourist circuit.
You'll need to let the property know in advance what time you'll arrive.
