The HanburyTownhouse

The Hanbury Townhouse occupies a converted building on Linton Street, a quiet residential road just off Islington's main shopping streets. Run as a single boutique guesthouse rather than part of a hotel group, it offers a small number of individually styled rooms, each finished differently rather than to a standard chain template. The emphasis sits on personal service over scale, with guests dealt with directly rather than through a call centre, and the location trades on being close enough to Upper Street's restaurants and bars to walk everywhere while sitting on a road quiet enough to sleep on. It suits visitors wanting a base in Islington itself rather than a hotel chain further out, with the compact size meaning the same few staff greet returning guests rather than treating each stay as anonymous.
