Tilde House's London neighbourhood, Canonbury in Islington, a conservation area since the 1960s, is a leafy district developed in the late 18th and early 19th centuries around a Tudor tower once part of an Elizabethan manor house. Its streets are lined with semi-detached mid-Victorian villas, many with big gardens and views of the New River park.
Among them, Tilde House is a Grade II-listed property, and has recently been remodelled and extended by Neil Dusheiko Architects, the practice behind such projects as north London's Tree View House , a light-filled mews house renovation in Bayswater, and the Sun Slice House family home in Cambridge .
