Behind a beautifully renovated townhouse facade lies an interior that is bright and beautiful in equal measures. The living room has the feel of a contemporary art gallery, with high ceilings, parquet flooring and striking pieces on the wall. Although saying that, we haven't been to a gallery with such cute pastel-pink, tufted furnishings. 

The kitchen is just as striking, thanks to the large windows, the flurry of house plants and handsome marble surfaces. So striking in fact, that we crowned it 'kitchen of the year' on Instagram. As well as letting in copious amounts of natural light, the French door also leads out to a charming garden space with some seating for warm evenings. 

Upstairs, the bedrooms are both large and equipped with regal beds, while there's even a balcony space looking out over the rooftops of East London and the distant skyscrapers in The City. However, you don't even have to go far to find things to do in the neighbourhood. Just around the corner, there's the Castle Cinema — an Art Deco building reopened after a local crowdfunding campaign — and Chatsworth Market, which runs every Sunday with a great range of independent stalls.

It might be a cliche to say that Hackney is one of the trendiest parts of London, but that doesn't mean it's not true – especially with homes like this to be discovered there. The Victorian terrace has been redesigned by the RIBA Award-winning architect firm Emil Eve and it'll have anyone fond of clean, mid-century design weak at the knees. If you're not so swayed by aesthetics, the pretty, plant-filled garden should win you over, as will the charming cafes and restaurants on the nearby Chatsworth Road.

The East London location might not be for everyone but this super cool loft has heaps of character and a young couple will enjoy the hipster nightlife nearby. We love the industrial style of the decor that still manages to feel homey and the large wooden doors at the gate that nod to the building's past as a stable block.

A little green hiding place in East London, this vintage-lovers paradise manages to mix thrift shop finds with high-end necessities. It’s a sweet spot that feels homely but certainly doesn’t scrimp on quality or comfort. You’ll be sharing the space with an impressive collection of houseplants, but that’s part of its charm. We love the well-equipped kitchen in miniature and the deep, dark blue of the Victorian bathroom, complete with a claw foot bath for taking a long soak. Pop on the Bluetooth Marshall amp or record player, and enjoy some time away from the busy streets of the capital. Outside, there’s a small but no-less-welcome terrace, which brings a tiny bit of nature into the breathable living space. Located in a lively and interesting part of the city, with the weekly Chatsworth Road Market on your doorstep, there’s plenty to explore, including a host of indy shops and eateries. And it’s only a ten-minute walk to Homerton overground station or twenty minutes to Hackney Central if you fancy seeing what else London has to offer.

Herb Garden

This Hackney hideaway is full of surprises. Whether you're soaking in the copper bathtub, relaxing in the infrared sauna, or enjoying a drink on the wrap-around terrace, we reckon you'll feel right at home here. Each room is colourful, bright, and ultra-comfortable – though two guests will sleep on a small sofa bed. Central London is within easy reach, thanks to the nearby Overground station, but Hackney itself is full of trendy eateries, cool bars, and independent shops. Many are just a short walk away – make sure to ask your delightful host, Jane, about all her favourite spots. 

House of Clapton

In the heart of Stoke Newington, this home promises the perfect blend of tranquillity and lively local culture. Packed full of character, every room in this home has its own style. Sure, at full occupancy, two people will sleep on a sofa bed in the third bedroom, but it’s still a private space which doubles as an office, making remote work a breeze for business travellers. Locally, you can enjoy the green spaces of nearby Abney Park and Hackney Downs, or take a stroll along Church Street to peruse the independent shops. 

Gold Blossom

Barbeque

This fully equipped, stylish apartment is the perfect base for visiting London. Its residential Dalston location means it's tucked away and tranquil, yet still within easy reach of the hustle and bustle of the city centre. Explore neighbouring Hackney's food scene, trendy markets and vibrant nightlife, then unwind in front of the TV or pour yourself a glass to enjoy in the beautiful, private garden. If you want to venture out a little further, Hackney Downs station is just around the corner. Whether your trip is for business or leisure, this thoughtfully designed apartment is the perfect starting point.

Vintage-loving couples and design fiends will thrill at this creative East London home. From the shabby-chic dressers brimming with crockery to the cherry-red sofa and those stylistically skew-whiff art prints, there’s not a single corner of this home that doesn’t exude character. In the bathroom, a claw-foot tub and tiled, walk-in shower squabble for your attention. But after a day traversing London, a full-to-the-brim bubble bath will be just what you need. Also demanding a look is nearby Kingsland Road, a myriad of hipster bars and must-book restaurants are less than a ten-minute walk away. In the evening, sit out in your vibrant garden with a glass of wine in hand, basking in the tranquillity as the city surges on in the distance. 

The Dalston Artists

Courtyard

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.

Located on the edge of Hackney Marshes, this characterful Edwardian home makes a great base for an inspiring city stay. From here, you can stroll to Chatsworth Road and it’s just a ten-minute walk to Homerton Station – ensuring smooth connections with the rest of London. Wherever the day takes you, this home invites you to get cosy in the living room and enjoy heartwarming gatherings in the open-plan kitchen. There is also a little garden with outdoor seating – perfect for warm-weather drinks. It’s worth noting this is a family home with lots of quirks and personal touches, but we think it’s the little details that make this one special.

Hackney is one of London's most vibrant neighbourhoods, thanks to its trendy eateries, lively bars, and popular coffee shops. Lucky for you, this apartment is in the heart of the action, about ten minutes from Dalston, Stoke Newington, and Hackney Downs Overground. But location isn't the only thing we love – the apartment itself is modern, welcoming, and bright. We love the skylights and breezy living space, equipped with everything we need to unwind. The cherry on top is the private rooftop terrace, perfect for enjoying a glass of wine while enjoying the view.

For a cooler and quieter vibe to East London, Clapton is one of the more under-the-radar areas. Among hip cafés, artist’s studios, and dimly-lit cocktail bars, this converted warehouse fits right in with the local vibe. We love the architecture and design features – incredibly modern decor, enormous windows, open-plan living spaces, a mezzanine bedroom, glass partitions, and skylights. It feels as if it’s made for creativity, socialising, and entertaining. The mix of pop art, collages, and photographs in vivid colors dress the stark white walls beautifully. And with collections of trinkets like the lucky cats and cartoon figurines, you'll keep finding little features to pique your interest. A complimentary bottle of wine and snacks will be waiting for you, which will be perfect for gathering around the pool table, by the electric piano, or relaxing on the oversized stiletto chair (yes, you read that right). Fifteen minutes away you’ve got Lee Valley Park – a vast countryside space that stretches all the way out to Essex and Hertfordshire. As this home is fully pet-friendly, this place is a dog walker's dream. Or in the other direction, the overground is a seven-minute walk, taking you to Liverpool Street in just twenty minutes.

A Bigger Wave

Outdoor Fireplace / Firepit

This stylish home treats you to a beautifully rare thing in the English capital – a gorgeous outdoor area that's all yours. When you're sitting out in the idyllic garden, decorated in tropical plants and colourful flowers, you won't believe the beautiful space is reserved just for you. It's a dreamy setting that belies the home's central location. 

Wander inside from the garden and the unbridled sense of style continues. Undoubtedly chic and brimming with vibrant colour, the interior exudes an elegant charisma in every room. Plants breathe energy into the living space and and the high quality fittings provide modern comfort.

As beautiful as this home is, you didn't come to London to stay inside. Luckily, you're perfectly placed to explore the entirety of this sprawling metropolis. The cool bars, exotic restaurants and lively pubs of Dalston and Stoke Newington are on your doorstep, whilst Shoredtich is just a couple of overground stops away.

Keep travelling south-east and you'll find the stunning beauty of Victoria Park or head central to the bustling energy of Soho. Once you're in the heart of London, your options are endless – find cultural museums, high-end restaurants and a world-famous shopping scene.



The Eastern Gardens

Tucked away in Lower Clapton, this contemporary apartment brings ease to city living. Offering a private balcony and plenty of space to chill out and socialise, this is a great spot for families and small groups. The main bedroom also has an en-suite bedroom – perfect for those seeking a little extra privacy. It’s worth noting there is no free parking available here, but you will find it’s just a short walk to Rectory Road Overground Station. From here, it’s just a fifteen-minute train ride into Shoreditch, while King’s Cross is just twenty-minutes away.  

Let There Be Love

Trash Compactor

Placed just around the corner from Dalston’s vibey cafes, stores and underground station, it’s no surprise that guests rave about this apartment’s location. Set in a period townhouse, this first-floor apartment’s good-looking interiors speak for themselves. Although the second bedroom with a Murphy pull-down bed is very compact, we think you'll forgive that when you see the all-too-rare private garden waiting outside. Add to that free weekend and evening parking (practically gold dust in London), and you’re onto a winner.

Dalston Dream

Staying in Hackney, you get an authentic London experience. This home is on a vibrant street in a friendly neighbourhood, within walking distance of coffee shops, bakeries, and restaurants. You can hop on the train at Hackney Downs, a one-minute walk away, to explore the rest of London. This apartment is equally well-suited to families, friends, and professionals – the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen space is ideal for gathering together, and the lavender-filled balcony offers a peaceful escape for quieter moments. 

Hackney Sunshine

Gated Community

Bright, artsy and full of characterful design pieces, this townhouse in Hackney is an ideal base for those looking to explore one of London’s quirkier, hip neighbourhoods. Inside, bespoke pieces of art abound with countless books and board games to enjoy in the open-plan living space. Open up the bi-fold doors to step out onto a plant-filled courtyard garden. This is the ideal spot to catch some rays over your morning coffee or toast to your cool, serene pad over sundowners and a barbecue come nightfall. The kitchen, meanwhile, looks like a piece of art in its own right with its artisan breakfast bar, while the long wooden dining room table calls for feasts aplenty amidst its collection of curios and portraits. Upstairs, the master bedroom is a masterclass in pared-back style with letterbox windows proffering leafy views and huge glass doors that lead out onto a private balcony. Factor in the beautiful, unique vanity and the wicker peacock chair and you’ll see this room is made for pure relaxation. With an equally pretty second bedroom and a boudoir-style master bathroom whose tub invites long soaks with a glass of bubbly after a day of sightseeing, you’ll be settling into the laid-back Hackney lifestyle in no time. Speaking of exploring, take afternoon strolls through leafy London Fields (a one-minute walk away) where a public basketball court and a lido offer a range of leisurely pursuits, while beautiful Victoria Park is only twelve minutes away on foot, Netil Market is a six-minute walk where food and craft stalls wait to be discovered and Regent’s Canal is nine minutes from your door. With plenty of restaurants, waterside pubs and independent shops to explore nearby as well, you’ve got everything you need for a good time.


Art Fields

Bathrobes

Bright and colourful, this trendsetting apartment is the perfect spot to take a well-earned break. Stepping in to look around the decor, you'll notice the eclectic artwork, vibrant scatter cushions and chic wood-framed sofa. But it's the little things that we really love about this cosy home – from the curated plants to the welcome hamper treats and breakfast tray – the place calls out comfort and a keen eye for detail. Find a sunny spot by the window to catch up on literature, play games and generally kick back. Upstairs, you'll find a stylish bedroom with pops of orange, a quirky painting and vintage radio. Located in the leafy borough of Canonbury, once home to George Orwell, you will be within easy reach of Essex Road, Highbury & Islington and Shoreditch. Take the sixteen-minute tube ride to hipper-than-hip Shoreditch High Street, discovering fashionable boutiques, trendy bars and artisan coffee shops. Out and about or snuggled up indoors, any day is made better bookmarked with a long soak in the swanky bathtub.  

The Ginger Meggs

Breakfast Included

This flat is undoubtedly cool. Firstly, it's minutes from the vibrant markets, delicious curry houses and quirky bars of Brick Lane. But it offers much more than a prime location. 

We loved the open-plan living space, brought to life by the bold artwork on the walls and sewn together by the breakfast bar in the centre of the room. Perfect for sharing toast and jams in the morning, it expertly blends the living room and the kitchen. If you wanted to invite friends over for dinner, the room has a light, airy vibe that's ideal for a hosting space. 

Of course, when you're in such proximity to London's world-class restaurants, you probably want to sample them. Myriad fine eateries are right on your doorstep, or you can hop on the underground at Liverpool Street to reach Soho in a matter of minutes.

Head in the other direction and you'll find the Olympic Stadium and the beautiful park that surrounds it. Given the array of accessible public transport, you can reach the cool districts of Peckham, Hackney and Dalston in less than half an hour.

Umbrellas

Enjoy a relaxing weekend escape exploring the trendy area of East London, follow the narrow boats and the smell of hand roasted coffee through street art and beards on bicycles. Have your La La moment on the piano and enjoy the balcony. 

The East Branch

Tailor-made for two, this contemporary London pad promises a serene retreat in the city. With a calming colour palette, relaxation comes easily here, and the balcony, though not the biggest, is just the ticket for alfresco drinks after a busy day of sightseeing. Locally, Hackney Wick itself is the perfect destination if you love nothing more than a good meal. Take your pick from trendy eateries, cosy cafes and even floating restaurants – a stay in this neighbourhood means dining out has to be high on the agenda. 

Urban Refuge

Throws

This snug, east London flat has bags of charm and comfort. Located on a leafy residential street in the heart of trendy Dalston it’s a perfect base for those wanting to explore the city. A short skip to the buses and you’ll be in town in less than 20 minutes, or else it’s a 10-minute stroll to overland stations and the tube. Dalston is a lively neighbourhood with cafes, restaurants and boutique shops but happily the apartment is a haven of calm and tranquillity. Wood-panelled flooring, large windows and soothing green and white tones predominate while personal touches include a wood burner, heaving bookshelf and neat kitchen stocked with teas, herbs and spices. In the evening, clubbers can take advantage of the nightlife in nearby Hoxton and Shoreditch but the lounge is so appealing that the mood might just take you to curl up on the cosy sofa with one of the well-thumbed books instead.  

Gardenia Bright

Paid Parking

This beautiful Victorian home in Walthamstow is a treat for families looking to make the most of the area’s stunning nature and shop-lined streets offering a plethora of cute cafés and cosy restaurants. 

Wonderfully renovated with a keen eye for design, every inch of this home has been curated with calm relaxation in mind. We love the incredible amount of light that flows in through the living room’s bay windows, creating the perfect setting for lazy mornings on the sofa with a mug of tea and one of the many books on the shelves. 

Step through to the stylish open-plan kitchen area with its polished concrete floors and underfloor heating for an even more dazzling display of light with sunlight streaming in through the skylights and the glass doors leading out onto a private leafy garden. This is the perfect spot to enjoy sunny barbecues, lawn games and plenty of fun for little ones on the trampoline. And should the weather turn, there’s plenty to keep all ages entertained inside with toys, books and everyone’s favourite streaming services. 

When it’s time for bed, head upstairs to the comfortable dressed bedrooms – one of which is specially kitted out for younger members of the family – and wake up to the promise of a relaxing soak under the metro-tiled bathroom’s rainfall shower. 

While you could easily while away whole days in your welcoming home, venture out to explore the many sights nearby. The William Morris Gallery is an eleven-minute walk, Walthamstow Village is a sixteen-minute stroll and Walthamstow Wetlands – Europe's largest urban wetlands –  is fifteen minutes away on foot. And should you wish to spend a day in the heart of buzzing Central London, you need only hop on the Victoria Line to be whisked away to Oxford Circus in twenty-two minutes. 


Victorian Sunbeam

Pet Bowls

This is a soulful space for those after a more alternative place to stay when they're visiting the UK's capital. Part of a converted former piano factory, the interior is instantly uplifting thanks to the array of bold modern artwork, statement wallpaper and house plants dotted about. You can tell it's been put together by somebody with an artistic disposition. It's up on the second floor with views from the Juliet balconies over the rooftops of Stoke Newington, a quiet neighbourhood with a great village vibe. If you want to explore, the host has left their Dutch bike and guests are free to borrow it. Alternatively, you can rent her car, which is parked in the on-site car park. Clissold Park is only two minutes' walk up the road and is home to a small deer farm. Likewise, Church Street takes only six minutes to reach on foot and offers cosy restaurants, traditional boozers and vintage shops.



The Milner

This stylish studio apartment is an ideal base for a London break. It’s in Shoreditch, close to co-working spaces and business hubs, as well as theatres and galleries. You won’t need to walk far to find your next great meal – there are countless bars, restaurants, and cafes nearby. If you’d prefer to cook for yourself, this apartment has a fully equipped kitchen. There’s also a desk for those working remotely during their stay. As this is a studio, privacy is limited – all three guests will sleep in the same space. 

Big City Studio

You'll find this apartment nestled between Angel and Shoreditch, two of London's most vibrant neighbourhoods. From street food to nightlife, there's something in the area for everyone, including walking paths along the canal if you'd rather take things slow. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the living space with light. They lead to a small balcony with views of Shoreditch Park across the street. The design is modern and contemporary. It's an ideal choice if you want a centrally located, comfortable stay.

Subtle Sunshine

With its own private garden, warm wooden floors and plenty of space to move around in, this is the ideal haven for solo travellers or couples seeking a tranquil experience in East London. Offering all the home comforts, including a full kitchen and a cosy living area, this one-bedroom house exudes character and charm. When you’re ready to explore, the wide world of East London is ready for you to discover, starting with the pubs and eateries of nearby High Street Leyton. Or take a twenty-minute walk to Leyton station to hop on the Central line to head into central London.

Victorian Garden Flat

This no-nonsense apartment in Highbury and Islington is ideal for business travellers, couples or solo visitors. Restaurants, shops and cafes line the bustling Holloway Road, only a five-minute walk away. If you’d like to head into the heart of the city, it’s twenty minutes to Tottenham Court Road via the tube. Inside, the fully equipped kitchen comes in handy for those planning an extended break, and the bedroom’s king-size bed encourages long lie-ins after busy days spent exploring London.


Royal Aspiration

Hot Tub

Combine crisp and modern interiors with lavish extras, like a hot tub and a custom-designed glass curtain wall, and you’ll get this flash penthouse apartment in the thumping heart of Shoreditch. Natural light pours through the large south-facing window and illuminates the sleek living space – it’s the ideal spot for reclining with your morning coffee or catching up on work at the dining table. On balmy afternoons, lunch on the terrace and soothe tired muscles in the bubbling Jacuzzi. Step outside of your front door and you’ll find yourself surrounded by some of the city’s best bars, authentic East End pubs and world-class eateries. Check out exhibitions in the Autograph Gallery, a four-minute walk away, or take the fifteen-minute mosey to Brick Lane to fill up on street food before browsing the vintage shops.
