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

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

Moments from the Barbican, this apartment makes a great base for an exciting stay. You can stroll into Shoreditch where you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to restaurants, bars and shops. There’s no free parking, but there are great public transport links making it easy to get across the city. Back at home, you’ll find all the essentials you could need to settle in and unwind. The rooms are simple, fuss-free and ideal for remote workers and families in search of ease and convenience. 

The Good Side

This Shoreditch apartment puts you in the heart of one of east London’s most vibrant neighbourhoods. It’s small but brilliantly designed, with everything you need in one stylish, colourful space. Step outside and you’re minutes from Hoxton Station and Shoreditch Park. You're also perfectly placed for Broadway Market, Columbia Road’s blooms, and Brick Lane’s vintage finds. Inside, there's a comfy lounge that overlooks Hoxton Market, a compact kitchen, and a peaceful bedroom made for lazy lie‑ins. At full capacity, one guest will use the sofa bed, which must be requested in advance. It may be cosy, but the location is unbeatable, the vibe is inspiring, and the city is right on your doorstep. What's not to love?

Hoxton Hideaway

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.

Modern Marigold

This flat has a feature that’s a rare treat in London. There are two terraces, one at the front and one at the back, where you can take your morning coffee or relax with a book in the warmer months. Inside, there’s an open-plan living space, complete with a modern kitchen for home-made meals, along with two bedrooms and bathrooms – great for families or groups of friends. As for the location, it’s situated between Leyton, Hackney, and Walthamstow, where you’ll find local shops and places to eat, plus easy transport links into Central London.

The Two Terraces

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

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

Cross the gangplank onto this incredible floating home near the Thames. Moored just a couple of blocks from Tower Bridge, this former 1930s steel barge is a ten-minute walk from the Tower of London. The top deck has been converted into a long, open living space with views of St Katharine Docks Marina from the huge windows. We love the semi-outdoor dining room, housed in a glass atrium-style space to the rear of the ship, with seating for ten. Choose to relax in the stylish white lounge on the upper deck, or head downstairs to the snug with its u-shaped sofa around a striking suspended fireplace. Bedrooms are on the lower deck, but that doesn’t mean dark cabins with tiny portholes. Spacious rooms have walls of windows and if there are portholes, they’re the size of a bass drum, letting in tonnes of natural light. If you manage to bag the master bedroom, its en-suite comes with a sauna. Welcome aboard, matey!

All Afloat

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

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 Haven

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.
