Living with Host
I have two rooms to rent in a friendly house in Camden, London.
The front room has a double bed, an armchair and plenty of storage. It faces north and overlooks a tree outside and the gardens of the neighbours' houses. Please note I only accept single occupancy.
The rear room is small, with a single bed, some shelving and a wardrobe with drawers. It is south-facing, and overlooks the Regent's Canal, so is occasionally quite noisy, either with geese, ducks or people on walking along the tow-path.
The house is shared with Duncan (host) and Lola, a friendly young dog. I usually rent the two rooms separately, so feel free to let me know which one you would prefer to stay in.
Please message to confirm availability before booking.
Guest Parking
There is now a resident's parking scheme so I can't offer parking. Some guests have made private arrangements to rent spaces nearby.
The Area and Transport
The house is in a quite area of Camden, between Camden Town and King's Cross. The Tube station at Camden Town is about 10 mins walk away. It is only a few stops on the Northern Line from the West End. Alternatively the bus stop is a bit closer and well connected for the West End. King's Cross station is 15-20 mins walk away and has lots of connections to other transport.
Alternatively there are plenty of street bikes and e-scooters nearby.
Camden has lots of shops (M&S, Aldi and Sainsbury's) and good pubs and venues. King's Cross and Coaldrops Yard has Waitrose, high-end shops and some good cafes.

Duncan was the perfect host! Great balance of up for a chat, and leaving you to it. The house was clean & I was provided with kitchen cupboard & fridge space. The room comfortable and location ideal with good transport links. Lola the Dog is a gentle and friendly. Thanks for having me to stay. I cannot recommend enough!

I had an absolutely wonderful and peaceful stay at Duncan’s. He has a wonderful home in a lovely quiet cul-de-sac type area. He was always so happy to help if ever there was anything and his home and my room was so clean, tidy and very comfortable. I highly recommend staying with him if a room is available as you will not be disappointed! Also, Lola the dog is lovely! 😊

Had an absolute brilliant time staying with Duncan over Christmas. Really nice guy and super chill, as well as his beautiful dog Lola! Really nice house with everything you need, location wise is also really good, about 5 mins to either the Camden underground or overground station. Loads of local amenities nearby including a big Sainsbury’s only round the corner and all the food markets Camden has to offer. Really happy with my stay with Duncan and would recommend his lovely home to anyone!

A very lovely apartment in the Camden area. Transport to the West End was close by, around 30 minutes.
Duncan was lovely host, really warm and welcoming. Lola the dog is very energetic, but she does calm down after a day or so of getting to know you
