2 bed flat to rent

Southgate Road, Islington N1

Perched on the seventh floor of a modern residential building on Southgate Road, this 862 sq ft apartment combines generous lateral space with far-reaching views and excellent transport links. Positioned between De Beauvoir Town and Shoreditch Park, the flat enjoys a lively North London setting while remaining tucked away enough to feel residential and private.

The apartment opens into a wide entrance hall with wood flooring and large built-in storage, setting the tone for a practical yet spacious layout. To the left is a neatly finished family bathroom with under floor heating, a full-sized bath and overhead shower, WC and basin. Both bedrooms lead directly onto the wraparound balcony, one a bright and comfortable double, the other currently arranged as a home office or child’s room.

At the centre is the open-plan reception, where a galley-style kitchen faces a dual aspect dining and living area. Floor-to-ceiling glazing maximises natural light and connects directly to the balcony, which encircles the apartment and extends the living space outdoors. The kitchen is fitted with integrated modern appliances, while the living area is comfortably furnished for both work and relaxation.

Southgate Road is well-connected, with Haggerston Overground around 10 minutes’ walk, linking directly to Highbury & Islington and Canada Water. Angel and Old Street (Northern Line) are within 20 minutes on foot or a short bus ride, with several routes serving the immediate area for direct access across the City, West End and beyond.

The location sits neatly between De Beauvoir’s quiet residential streets and the energy of Shoreditch and Hoxton. Kingsland Road offers independent shops, cafés and restaurants, while Regent’s Canal and Shoreditch Park are a short stroll away. For local flavour, the well-known De Beauvoir Deli is moments away, and Southgate Road is uniquely home to two excellent theatre pubs, the Rosemary Branch and the De Beauvoir Arms. Weekend markets such as Broadway Market and Columbia Road Flower Market are quickly reached by bike or bus.
