Overview
First Impressions
Harrington Apartments in Central London sits on a quiet garden square in Camden that honestly feels like a little secret tucked away from the chaos. You know what struck me first? The Georgian terrace building has this understated charm — no flashy signage, just elegant white facades that blend perfectly with the neighborhood’s historic character. It’s the kind of place where you feel like you’ve stumbled onto something locals would actually choose.
Location & Neighborhood
Oakley Square is one of those lovely Camden surprises that most tourists never discover. You’re literally a few minutes’ walk from Mornington Crescent tube station, which puts you on the Northern line with direct access to the West End. But here’s the thing — you can also stroll to Camden Market in about ten minutes, and Regent’s Park is just around the corner. The square itself has this peaceful, residential vibe with a proper garden in the center where you’ll see locals walking their dogs.
The Apartment Experience
These aren’t your typical hotel rooms — each apartment comes with a proper kitchenette that actually works. I mean, you can cook a real meal here if you want to. The spaces feel more like staying in a friend’s well-appointed flat than a standard hotel room. The decor is modern but not sterile, with comfortable furnishings that look like someone actually thought about livability rather than just Instagram photos.
Practical Considerations
For a three-star property, the amenities punch above their weight. There’s no fancy spa or elaborate concierge service, but everything you need is there — decent WiFi, proper heating, and surprisingly good water pressure. The building feels well-maintained without being precious about it. You won’t find a restaurant on-site, but honestly, with Camden’s food scene right outside your door, that’s hardly a problem.
Why Guests Love It
What really works here is the balance between hotel service and apartment independence. You get housekeeping and a reception desk when you need help, but you also have the freedom to come and go as you please without feeling like you’re living in someone else’s space. The London location means you’re close enough to everything that matters, but far enough from Leicester Square that you can actually get some sleep. For the price point, it’s exactly what it promises to be — nothing more, nothing less, and that’s refreshingly honest in a city full of overpriced disappointments.
Apartments in London suit families with bright bay windows, full kitchens, and sunset loops through Hyde Park paths.
Guest reviews
"Great location for markets and transport but fold out bed very uncomfortable."
Very spacious and secure. Close to trains and buses and the Camden markets. Great pubs, cafes and restaurants at near by. Host very responsive to messages and helpful.
What could be improved: Very loud with trains however earplugs were provided and was mentioned in ad so we knew this before booking. . Area was a bit sketchy with many homeless around asking for money however property very secure. Dishwasher broken and fold out bed very uncomfortable although host will look into fixing the issues.

"Lovely property in a great location. Bedding and towels clean and fresh."
Location was brilliant. Lovely property and perfect size for what we needed. Clean and fresh smelling linen. Fabulous shower
What could be improved: Cleaner was no where near finished cleaning property when we arrived. This meant that it was difficult to stay in when we arrived even though we arrived after the check in time. Pillows a bit lumpy and could do with replacing . There was a lot of noise from the ubdergroubd

"Very good"
Apartment was lovely, and came with a lot of extras such as tea, coffee, toilet roll, hair dryers & towels meaning we didn't need to bring so much. Location was great, less than a minute walk to mornington underground which is a great connection to central London. The apartment was very spacious we enjoyed our stay, and it was very clean, so we were able to relax. We met a lovely lady on arrival who was very helpful and kind, we had a great stay. Thank you
What could be improved: Bars on the window. I completely understand why they're there and didn't mind them in the main, unfortunately I am an over thinker and as we had no key to these bars, we only had one exit from the apartment in an emergency and this bothered me for our whole stay

"It was a great apartment for us, comfortable and very central. The staff was kind and kept us informed about everything"
Location, space, comfort.
What could be improved: The door getting locked at night, some things like the microwave not working or not enough mugs to be used for coffee. However, those ones from the facilities are not big issues.
Check-Out could be slightly later, since Check-In is soo late.

"Good"
Very good apartment with all the needed equipment. The location is good and connected to several transportation modes.
What could be improved: The underground noise and vibration every 10min day and most of the night is quite disturbing.

"Ideal for short stay"
The Apartment was clean and had everything we required except towels. The host was very approachable and helpful. The apartment was perfect for the two nights we were there, unfortunately the beds were uncomfortable and sofa/sofa bed was very uncomfortable for sitting and sleeping on
