The US ambassador's official residence, Regent's Park Mosque, London Business School and London Zoo are all a stone's throw away from the house. 

The building itself is a grade-II listed home with white stucco, classical features and an interior decorated in a way to make a family feel at home.

The house also features space to park five cars and its own garden - if the greenery of Regent's Park and Primrose Hill wasn't enough.
