Camden Team

Originally from Manchester, Stuart cut his teeth in the London market on Upper Street in Islington. He joined Hotblack Desiato in 1987 and became a director in the early 1990s. Stuart is based at the Camden office, and even after all these years still gets a buzz from the cut and thrust of negotiation and successfully concluding a sale. Stuart feels very much part of the Camden and Kentish Town community and especially values the working relationships enjoyed with so many locals, and the repeat business that comes from working in the area for so many years.

Stuart's favourite thing about North London: The ease of access to Granary Square and Coal Drops Yard in Kings Cross, a wide choice of golf courses and an increasing number of Padel tennis courts!

Camden lettings manager Diriye started his time with Hotblack Desiato in the Highbury office, which he found similar to West Hampstead in that it has a local feel with a group of residents who stay local for shopping and dining and are invested in the community. With a few years under his belt he moved to head up the lettings team in Camden; as a long term Camden resident he loves working in the area he has lived in for so long! After 10 years in N London property, Diriye still enjoys the range of property he sees and seeing folk fall in love with their new home

Diriye's favourite thing about North London: Apparently you can do a sleepover with the lions in London Zoo - definitely on the bucket list

Islington girl Adriana remembers regular trips into Camden as a kid, spending time at Camden Lock and The Stables. Working across sales & lettings, Adriana enjoys both disciplines. She skipped University and jumped into the corporate world at 18 feeling education was not the right way forward for her. When not working, Adriana likes to travel, shop and enjoy the attractions North London has to offer with her friends

Adriana's favourite thing about North London: Love the fact you can wander from east to west along the river/ Regents Canal - always something going on
