First Impressions
Studios2Let – North Gower sits on a quiet residential street in Camden, and honestly, that’s part of its charm. This three-star spot doesn’t try to be something it’s not — it’s all about giving you a proper base in London without the hotel fuss. The building itself is typical Georgian townhouse style, which means you’re getting that authentic London feel from the moment you walk up.
The Space
Each apartment here is essentially a studio setup, and I mean that in the best way possible. You’ve got your own kitchen with everything you actually need — proper hob, microwave, fridge, even a washing machine tucked away. The room layout is clever too; they’ve managed to fit a comfortable sleeping area, small dining table, and living space without it feeling cramped. The furniture’s modern and functional, though don’t expect anything fancy.
Location & Getting Around
North Gower Street is one of those Camden addresses that locals know is well-placed but tourists often overlook. You’re about a seven-minute walk to Euston Station, which is brilliant for getting anywhere in London or catching trains north. Camden Market and all that chaos is close enough when you want it, but far enough that you can actually sleep at night. There’s also a Sainsbury’s practically next door, which you’ll appreciate when you want to stock that kitchen.
What Works (And What Doesn’t)
The independence factor here is huge — having your own front door key and not dealing with hotel reception staff has its perks. Parking is typical London street parking, so factor that in if you’re driving. The Wi-Fi actually works properly, which isn’t always a given in older London buildings. That said, don’t expect daily housekeeping or a concierge — this is more like borrowing a friend’s flat than staying in a traditional hotel.
Why It Makes Sense
Studios2Let – North Gower hits that sweet spot for London stays where you want proper space and the ability to make your own coffee without paying £4 for it downstairs. The 7.4 rating reflects what it is — solid, reliable accommodation that does the job well. You’re paying for the location and independence rather than fancy amenities, and sometimes that’s exactly what you need. It’s particularly good for longer stays or if you’re the type who prefers cooking breakfast to queuing for it in a hotel restaurant.
