Prince Albert Road, London, NW8

Bordering the verdant expanse of Regent’s Park, Prince Albert Road is one of the area’s most coveted residential enclaves. Contained within a contemporary apartment block, this two-bedroom apartment echoes the neighbourhood’s tranquility with its pared-back interior scheme and reams of sunlight.

Entering on the third floor into the open-plan dining and reception room, you are introduced with solid wood floors and a pared-back colour scheme. There’s a voluminous feel to the space, with wall-to-wall window glazing, that floods the interiors with natural light, whilst offering leafy vistas out to Regent’s Park. In the lounge area, a minimalist Eichholtz sofa and a woven rug sits beneath a striking Sunpan Oswin chandelier. Adjacent, there’s a glass dining table paired with Jaoquim Tenreiro chairs. Throughout the home, Heatmiser underfloor heating and Daikin air conditioning keep things comfortable.

Slide the glass windows back to reveal a large private balcony. Backdropped by soaring trees that stretch out from the park, it’s a tranquil al fresco setting complete with outdoor furniture by The Conran Shop.

Built with glossy white metro tiling and teal-blue cabinetry by Poggenpohl, the kitchen has an uplifting feel. Sunlight pours in through a large picture window, while Italian lighting is subtly integrated to cast a warm glow come evening. A range of modern appliances – including a Siemens oven, Franke filtered tap and Insinkerator waste disposal – makes for a streamlined culinary setting. Cushioned banquette seating offers a relaxed breakfast spot.

The principal bedroom suite is calming and considered in design, with built-in wardrobes, a Vispring mattress and direct access to the private balcony. Its en suite bathroom is wrapped in Mandarin Stone tilings, setting a stylish scene for the Grohe shower and dual vanity. The guest bedroom – which has versatility to be used as a home office – is equally tranquil, with pale tones and a large window. It’s served by another bathroom, featuring a bathtub. Completing the home is an additional WC – finished with bold wallpaper and a sculptural green marble sink.

Framed by the green expanse of Regent’s Park and the gentle rise of Primrose Hill, Prince Albert Road is one of north London’s most quietly desirable addresses. Tree-lined and peaceful, the street sits at the heart of a neighbourhood that balances leafy calm with cultural vibrancy: St John’s Wood offers boutique shops and beloved local favourite Panzers Deli and Soutine, while Camden’s vibrant markets and music venues provide a creative counterpoint just beyond the park. In summer, there are live performances at the Open Air Theatre, while October hosts the world-renowned Frieze Art Fair. The upmarket thoroughfare of Marylebone High Street is within easy reach for retail therapy and fine dining at Ospo or Fischers, while Lord’s Cricket Ground has a calendar full of games to enjoy.
