Fitness-friendly vacation rentals in London Borough of Islington

We had an amazing time at Paula’s place. The moment you walk in feels like home. Gave clear instructions on how to navigate her apartment and building. Very responsive. The area has some really good places to eat and the fresh food market down the street is amazing. Would def stay here again and would recommend for anyone else!! 5 stars

The apartment is beautiful and just like the photos. It was clean and perfect. Highly recommended.

We had an awesome stay at CasaMia. The apartment was perfect for four people, and we heard little to no noise from other building tenants. Sitting on the balcony in the early morning or after a day touring London was relaxing. The apartment was well-appointed and clean. The beds and linens were comfortable. There are not many restaurants in the immediate area. We enjoyed a meal at Lots Road Pub and got our morning coffee at Harris and Hoole; both within a short walking distance. Next to the coffee shop was a grocery store called Tesco Express. Getting to central London was easy; a one-stop journey on the overground from the Imperial Wharf station takes you to West Brompton, which is on the District underground line. Another option is to walk to the Chelsea Harbor and pick up the Uber boat. We enjoyed the accommodations at CasaMia and would happily stay here again.

Overall the place is described as it is written before we booked. The place fit perfectly for what we needed for the stay.

The flat is in a great location, just behind Stamford Bridge in the heart of Chelsea. The building is new and really pleasant. The flat was also top-notch, clean and fully equipped. Definitely a great week and a property I'll be on the lookout for next time I'm in town !

We loved our stayed in Acton at Glenn’s place. Very easy to get to the Underground and fantastic local recommendations from Glenn for restaurants. We loved the local Thai place, chippy, and the Greek place right across the street. The space is bigger than I thought. Had a lovely stay here.

It is such a beautiful flat - a real home-away-from home. The view from the balcony is amazing, and the flat itself has classic decor. It's a beautiful blend of privacy and serenity. The host is very communicative and helpful, which I really appreciated. I definitely recommend it as a lovely spot to stay in London!

If you are in London for sightseeing, it is all about location. This is the perfect spot in in "The City" to get everywhere, close to the underground and the Thames walkway. Communication was great, especially when we first arrived and had questions about getting to the apartment from Paddington station and as we tried to figure out how to get to the airport at the end of our visit. I would definitely recommend the Globe View.

I absolutely loved this location. It was a beautiful space with incredible views of London. Close walk to the underground to take you to central London.

How to start?? I would highly recommend Charles' place! When you get there and go up the stairs, you might think it's not going to be good. However, when you open the door you'll be taken back as to how beautiful his place is!! I felt right at home! Charles had wine, milk, OJ, bread and eggs. The sleigh bed was not only comfy but so pretty. He had great darkening curtains which also serve as a divider from the living room. The shower was welcoming. If I come back to London, I'd stay at Charles' place!

John is a fantastic host-he went above and beyond and was extremely responsive to messages. We couldn’t work out the cooker (the timer needs to be set) and John was helping out despite the late time of messaging. We loved the recommended Sushi restaurant. The views from the apartment are amazing-we loved just popping out on the balcony. Location wise it was ideal. The main station Blackwall is a short walk away (6 ish mins) and the nearest underground Canary Wharf is around 20 mins which served us well. 😊

This was a good budget friendly location. It’s not in the hustle and bustle section of London, but close to bus and underground stops. You can walk to the river, if you choose. Very close to market, pubs and restaurants.

I stayed here on a vacation trip to London. Yaa could not have been more friendly. She always responded immediately to any questions prior to my arrival. She even reached out to ask what type of water, milk, and wine I preferred so she could ensure things were available prior to my arrival. The place was very nice. Clean, well designed, and quiet. Very walkable to the Underground. Note, the description is accurate when it says it is on an upper floor. And when you overpack like I do, you may have trouble getting up the stairs. (Completely my fault for packing too much, and it was clearly noted in the description.) If I am ever in London again, I would happily stay here again!

Jack and Jessica were wonderful hosts who demonstrated excellent communication skills. I wholeheartedly recommend their lovely apartment, which appears exactly as depicted in the photographs. This pristine and well-maintained space provides a cosy home-from-home feel, all with remarkable attention to detail. Thank you for a delightful stay!

Thank you Vlad! We had an amazing weekend in London. Vlad’s apartment is beautiful, everything was immaculately clean, and the beds were really comfortable. It is better than described and the views are great! We don’t hesitate in recommending Vlad’s apartment. The transport links into central London are brilliant with the DLR station right opposite the apartment building (giving easy access to the tube) and the uber boat dock just over the other side of the river that can be reached by the cable car (this was our favourite way to travel and see London from the Thames!). Vlad’s apartment was the perfect place for us to stay to explore London during the day and to get away from the crowds in the evening and see a show at the O2. There are some lovely bars and restaurants in the immediate vicinity and a Tesco express. We will definitely be back - thank you again Vlad - you are a great host!

what to say, everything was perfect. The house is gorgeous and has all the comforts you could need. You feel like you are at home. Carmen was very kind from the first message, also providing us with lots of information to better experience the city. The underground station is only 100 meters away (you can see it from the window), and in 20/30 minutes you can reach all the main attractions of the city. During our holiday Carmen was not in London, and so we were welcomed by her friend Vaida, who was equally helpful and kind to us, and always present via messages. For our future trips to the beautiful London we will definitely try to book with Carmen again. Highly recommended host!

My family and I loved our stay at the Dove House! The house is very clean and spacious, perfect for a family. It is walking distance to underground train stations, as well as shops. Soskia was an absolutely amazing host, and was very helpful throughout the stay with all our needs. We felt very comfortable throughout the stay and look forward to our next one!

the home is beautiful, super quiet, and in a great location nearby portobello road but not in the thick of it. marina was a top tier host who provided lots of specific details on the home + things to do, extras and even offered mid-week cleaning. the beds are super comfortable and with the 2 floors it gives everyone room to spread out. would highly recommend this place!

I had a fantastic stay, The place was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and in a great location. The host was friendly, responsive, and made check-in super easy. The space had everything I needed, and the little touches like [insert any special features: e.g., fresh towels, local recommendations, really made a difference. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area

Nigel was a fantastic host—very responsive, helpful, and accommodating throughout our stay. The house itself was clean, spacious, and well-kept, with everything we needed for a comfortable visit. It’s located in a quiet neighborhood, but still just a quick and easy train ride into London. We really appreciated the thoughtful touches and the warm hospitality. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the city!

Our stay was exceptionally great. The train station is close which made our movements easy. The place was very clean. There was easy access to food and groceries. Chioma was very helpful and accommodating. We were able to check in earlier than the scheduled time and leave just as easy. Overall the experience was great and I highly recommend.

The house is wonderful for its age, character and history. We really appreciated the library and all the quirks and general history of the house itself. Some of us went on a quick trip to All Saints Church cemetery in Edmonton to see Charles and Mary Lamb's graves ... because the house provoked an interest to see and know more. It has many quirks - but these are so well explained by the hosts - so you know about them before you come. The character and joy of the house totally made up for the quirks. Size was great - for our family group of 7 it was ideal - plenty of space to eat and hang out and individual nooks and crannies where people could do their own thing.

We had a great stay and Lynn was a great host. House was fantastic and in an amazing location. I highly recommend it!

Would absolutely recommend this place and would hopefully like to stay again in the future! The house is immaculate! Walkable distance to cute cafes (Sweet Carolina stood out for us) and markets. A bus ride away from the Thameslink! Really excellent and high standard finishes, quooker tap with sparkling water was a standout. The house also had a really peaceful feel to it and the downstairs blends outdoor indoor living which was super cool. Overall a really comfortable stay
