North London has become very desirable in recent years, with an incredible vibrant social and foodie scene having grown up in the Islington and Camden areas, and Kings Cross undergoing a real renaissance. (Read our Fast Track to Becoming a Local in Islington and Camden here.)
It also has plenty of stunning properties, such as the six below. But even if your budget doesn’t quite cover any of these beauties, at least you can look – and dream…
