Splendid 1 Bedroom Flat + Terrace (Kentish Town)

First Impressions

The Splendid 1 Bedroom Flat + Terrace (Kentish Town) sits on a busy stretch of Kentish Town Road, and honestly, you might walk past it if you’re not paying attention. It’s tucked into one of those converted Victorian buildings that London does so well — nothing too flashy from the street, but once you’re inside, this three-star spot has some genuine surprises waiting.

The Space That Delivers

The apartment itself feels way more spacious than you’d expect for this part of north London. The living area flows nicely into a compact but well-equipped kitchen — I mean, you’ve got everything you need if you want to grab groceries from the Sainsbury’s down the road and cook at home. The bedroom is tucked away properly, so you actually get that separation between living and sleeping space that makes all the difference when you’re staying somewhere for more than a night or two.

The Real Winner

Here’s the thing though — that terrace is what makes this place special. It’s not huge, but it’s private and catches the afternoon sun beautifully. You know what I love about it? You can sit out there with your morning coffee and watch Kentish Town wake up below without feeling like you’re on display. During summer evenings, it’s honestly the perfect spot to unwind with a drink after trudging around London all day.

Location That Actually Works

Kentish Town gets overlooked by most tourists, but that’s exactly why it works so well. You’re about fifteen minutes on the Northern Line to central London — Camden’s literally next door, and you can walk to Hampstead Heath when you need some green space. The neighborhood has that lived-in London feel with proper pubs, independent coffee shops, and none of the tourist crowds you’ll find closer to the center.

Why Guests Love It

What really strikes me about this place is how it balances being genuinely local with having everything you actually need as a visitor. The flat feels like someone’s home rather than a sterile hotel room, but it’s clean and well-maintained without being precious about it. Plus, that outdoor space — well, anyone who’s spent time in London knows how rare and valuable a private terrace is, especially at this price point.
