A Victorian apartment with plenty of creative modern flair, this home – sandwiched between Hackney Central and the vast green expanse of Hackney Marshes – offers a quiet stay in one of London’s most creative neighbourhoods. Inside, wood floors, exposed brick walls and minimalist contemporary decor set a calming, welcoming scene for those looking to experience the city in style. The bedroom and dining area look out onto a private patio garden equipped with outdoor seating – the perfect spot to begin sunny mornings over coffee or to enjoy a sundowner on balmy evenings when you’re not out sampling the local bar and restaurant scene. Soak up the vibrant atmosphere of nearby Hackney Wick and indulge in some Central London sightseeing, just thirty minutes away by public transport. However you spend your time in The Big Smoke, you’ll be glad to have this cool city pad as your base from which to experience it all.
