East London’s vibrant areas span way further than well-known haunts like Shoreditch. This incredible designer loft is ideal for a creative space to relax in. This red-brick building was formerly the cafeteria of a Boy’s Club in the 1930s. 

The architect of the Queen Elizabeth Ocean Liner designed this home – so you know you can expect something special. Boho meets Art Deco and Bauhaus inside this loft, with dark wood flooring and unique wood panelling featured throughout the space. 

Leaving the building, you’ll descend a truly historic staircase. You might even feel as if it's channeling the vibes of the grand staircase on a royal ocean liner. Hop on public transport to reach East London in less than twenty minutes. This area is awash with high street shops, international restaurants, beer gardens, and rooftop bars. Stratford is just a twenty-minute bus ride away.

To really immerse yourself into London culture, stay on the tube a bit longer to reach Central London. Here, you'll find fascinating museums, chic art galleries and the beautiful parks that define the landscape. 

Cafeteria Luxe

Just a short stroll from Greenwich Market, this home delivers a great option for a refreshing city break. From here, you can walk to Greenwich Park and you’ll find Westcombe Park Station is just three-minutes away – providing access to London Bridge and the city centre in just fifteen-minutes. Back at home, the open-plan living room makes it easy to switch off or catch up on work. Your host provides all the basic essentials you could need to get settled in. Plus, there’s a private terrace – perfect for summer evening drinks. 

Park in Bloom

Bringing that country-home feel to the outskirts of London, this gorgeous Edwardian property has been renovated to a high standard. It features a beautiful interior design style that wouldn’t look out of place in a five-star boutique hotel. From the spectacular navy kitchen to the baby pink master bathroom, this home combines colour and style to create the ideal place for your next getaway.

Built in 1904, and with all of its original features, this beautiful home is full of sash windows which let in beams of light as well as eight fireplaces, one of which you can use as the weather gets colder. In the summer months, the garden is the place to be. With a quarter of an acre for you and your family to enjoy, there is plenty of seating so you can read a book whilst the children play. There’s even a hot tub, perfect for relaxing in with a glass of wine in the evening.

This area is full of beautiful Edwardian houses and overlooks a pretty park, ideal for a morning walk with the dog or a jog before dinner. The fully-equipped kitchen is a joy to cook in and you’ll love making use of the coffee machine, bread maker and blender for your morning smoothies. This stunning historical property has everything you could possibly need for a relaxing break away, you’re going to love it.

Edwardian Elegance

Those seeking a convenient base in Canary Wharf will love this chic studio apartment. It’s a stylish space to call home, though being a studio, it’s on the smaller side. Happily, you’ll have access to the building’s top-notch facilities, so you can spread out on the roof terrace, work up a sweat in the communal gym, and conduct business from a co-working space. You’ll have a kitchen to cook in and plenty of cafes nearby. Canary Wharf Tube station is only a nine-minute walk away, so seeing the rest of London is as easy as can be. 

Along the Wharf

Mentioned in the Domesday Book, painted by Turner and within earshot of the bells of Mary-le-Bow church – and thus considered Cockney by many – the London enclave of Bermondsey remains close to the action. A five-minute walk to Canada Water station will see you quickly shopping or attending a meeting in Docklands or the City, while the nightlife and galleries of the East End and countless shops of the West End are within easy reach, too – as is the River Thames. Sipping your tea (milk and sugar optional) on the balcony, cast your eye over the treetops and church towers of South-east London, or spot the angled towers and domes created by London’s architectural innovators through the centuries. Alternatively, relax in the light and bright modern sitting room and enjoy the flat-screen TV and fast internet access. This apartment in a new-build block has everything you need to work remotely, plus a fully equipped kitchen and two double bedrooms. Why not bring the whole family? There’s a cot provided, and the flat is under an enhanced cleaning regime. This is a designated executive flat, ideal for preparing for business meetings or sightseeing. Whatever you're in town for, make the most of your trip from this surprisingly secluded and quiet Bermondsey base.

Central Seclusion

You’ll find all the comforts of home and more in this East London apartment. There’s a little balcony for warm weather drinks and a versatile living space for relaxing or catching up on work. The main bedroom comes with an en-suite bathroom for optimum privacy and you’ll find all the essentials you could need to get you started. Plus, the building features a wonderful co-working space and terrace. And when it comes to explorations further afield, it’s just a short walk to Bromley-by-Bow tube station – making it easy to get across the city. 

Classic Love

Perched on the 8th floor with sweeping views of southeast London, this modern two-bedroom apartment offers a stylish base between the neighbourhoods of Deptford and Greenwich. Inside, you’ll find a bright open-plan living space, two comfy double bedrooms (each with its own TV), and two sleek bathrooms – and if you’re keen for fresh air, the balcony and shared rooftop terrace are ideal for taking in the skyline. The bars and eateries of lively Deptford Market Yard are right outside the building, and Greenwich park is a scenic stroll away.

Greenwich View

If you’re in search of a simple base for your city stay, this apartment delivers the ideal solution. Outside, it’s just a fifteen-minute walk to Hither Green Station or a short bus journey to Lee Station – offering services to London Bridge in just eleven-minutes. Your host provides a starter-supply of basic essentials and you’ll find the nearest amenities are a short walk away. It’s worth noting the rooms are basic, but it’s ideal for couples or solo travellers. There is also a private garden – perfect for warm weather afternoons. 


By the Park

A chic home in a tucked-away London location, this stylish Deptford pad boasts a spacious decked terrace and a modern interior with lots of soothing beige and brown tones. Light pours in through the sliding glass doors that extends the living space out to the beautiful rooftop deck, for added luxury and comfort. Whether you're inside or outside, it's clear that the owners have an eye for design and detail. On chillier evenings, line up the projector overhead, knock up a few light bites in the modern black kitchen and enjoy a cosy movie night snuggled up on the cream sofa. From the pale parquet floors to the sleek nude surfaces, this home is a real cool customer. And while we love the aesthetic here, it's also a homely spot too, with a bedroom set up especially for kids. In fact, for a young family after a city-based bolthole that's near to the big sights, but removed from the intense crowds and clamouring tourists, this trendy apartment is perfectly suited. You're an eight minute train ride from New Cross to London Bridge, fifteen minutes to Shoreditch, and twenty-two minutes to the South Bank, full of hip bars and restaurants along the waterfront, and one stop on the DLR to the Cutty Sark, National Maritime Museum, and Greenwich Park where you can catch a boat into central London.

Nude Modern

Perched on the 19th floor, this modern apartment makes the most of London living from a little distance. While you’re not right in the centre, the Elizabeth Line puts Canary Wharf, the City, and the West End within easy reach – so you can explore the capital at your own pace before retreating to a quieter base. Back at home, floor-to-ceiling views stretch out across the skyline, best enjoyed from your private balcony. Inside, there’s plenty of room to stretch out and relax, with everything you need for a comfortable and well-connected stay.

Urban Skyline Outlook

 Located in Wapping and overlooking Tobacco Dock, this bright apartment gives you bird's eye views across the city and a comfortable base to call home. 
 
We love how much light pours into the living room from the glass doors that lead out onto a private balcony. Sip your morning coffee here as you survey the towering skyline before you or perch here with a sundowner before discovering the area’s food scene. 
 
The bedroom boasts equally dazzling floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as a comfortable bed you’ll relish crawling into after a long soak in the bathroom’s tub. 
 
When it comes to sightseeing, take a stroll through Wapping Woods (a five-minute walk) or amble along the Thames Path, eight minutes away on foot. You’re also a twenty-five-minute walk from the Tower of London, while bustling Spitalfields Market is just over a half-hour away on foot. 


Dock City

When you're sitting amidst the earthy tones and quiet calmness of the garden, you won't believe you're in the City of London. The idyllic space has a relaxed serenity that belies its central location. 

Spend cosy mornings here with a coffee, slowly waking up with the city around you. In the evenings, fire up the BBQ and gather around the cute table, sharing bites of grilled burgers and bottles of crisp wine. 

When the weather's not on your side, move into the chic style of your home. The earthy palette continues throughout the open plan living room and kitchen – light, brown shades mingle with the pure white tones on the walls and kitchen counter. 

There's even paintings of floral and natural themes – alongside a catalogue of plants –  to further the earthy energy. A sofa and straw chair present cosy places to relax, or you can perch at the breakfast bar with a selection of toast and jams. 

For more intimate dining, share snacks and a bottle of wine on the circular dining table. But, since you're so close to various pubs, bars and restaurants, you may as well sample the local joints. We suggest the pretty pubs and bars around St Katharine's Docks for good food with a picturesque view.
