Back in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this corner of East London was a thriving industrial hub, but today it's the sort of highly coveted neighbourhood where luxury flats such as this one are springing up. You can get a sense of this transformation from the home's balcony, which gives guests a view of the canal and former warehouses that have been transformed into studios, bars and nightclubs — Hackney Wick, where many of these can be found, is only twelve minutes' walk away. Back inside, the long open-concept living space benefits from the huge floor-to-ceiling window at the end, which brings in copious amounts of natural light. The blue kitchen is as sleek as they come, with stone-composite work surfaces and in-built lighting, while the underfloor heating is sure to be appreciated in the winter months, too. The cherry on the cake is the building's communal gym, which guests are free to visit should they wish.

The Westfield shopping centre, with its alfresco dining, a twenty-four-screen cinema, a casino and, of course, lots of shops, is within a five-minute stroll of this apartment. When you want to explore the rest of London, Stratford International station is a five-minute walk, and the Eurostar (St Pancras International) is a quick seven-minute train journey from Stratford International. There is a cycle hire right outside the apartment block too. After all that shopping or exploring, there’s a private balcony to relax on at this modern, light-filled apartment which has a homely vibe with its plants and prints.

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.

The main bedroom has a handy en-suite shower room, too.

Treat yourself to leafy strolls and nearby sports facilities when you stay within Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. A five-minute walk from Stratford International train station, this modern apartment wins us over with its private balcony. Or, if you'd prefer to hang out with your neighbours, there's an on-site communal area. Free baby equipment can be provided for little ones while you enjoy complimentary tea and coffee. Bike rental makes exploration easy. Plus, you'll find eateries and the Westfield shopping centre on your doorstep.

Ethereal Retreat

You’ll find this apartment in the heart of Hackney Wick. It’s between Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and the River Lea, so you’ll have plenty of walking routes nearby. The apartment is a charming home-from-home perfect for two. The large open-plan living space is centred around a statement green sofa, with a cosy dining nook in the corner. Both the living space and bedroom open to the balcony, where you can unwind after a busy day and watch the action of the street below. You’ll have a modern kitchen to cook in – you can make yourself at home here.

Just steps away from the Olympic Park’s leafy walkways, VeloPark and Aquatics Centre, this apartment is a perfect spot for remote workers and families seeking a Stratford base. The apartment is modern, with all you need for a fuss-free stay, including a private balcony for morning coffees and free baby equipment for little ones – your host can even help with babysitter recommendations should you fancy a night at Westfield’s cinema. There are bikes to rent just outside the apartment building, though you’ll also find Stratford Station a five-minute walk away, providing easy access to Central London.

If to your ears the year 2012 doesn't sound right without the prefix of London, this penthouse apartment will bring back some fond memories. Step out onto the private balcony and look left to see the Olympic Stadium where Mo Farah, Usain Bolt and Jessica Ennis-Hill all memorably snatched gold. Turn your head the other way and you'll see the London Aquatics Centre, which hosted the pool events at the games. As well as being easy on the eye — the work of architect Zaha Hadid, no less — you can go for a swim in this iconic venue if you fancy. Speaking of striking design, this home's interior deserves some plaudits, too. Dazzlingly white walls accentuate the occasional bursts of orange, while the kitchen's clean lines and sleek surfaces will please any fan of minimalism. It's not just a pretty face, though — you'll appreciate the underfloor heating if you're staying during the colder months. The local area is ripe for exploring, with the nearby Westfield shopping centre providing both retail and culinary distractions. However, one thing that we highly recommend is to hire a bike and take a tour of the Olympic Park to bring that summer of sports rushing back.

Stylish and practical, this Stratford pad is a great choice for exploring London. This home caught our eye for its location – both Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and Westfield Shopping Centre are a short walk away, and you can find yourself in Central London within thirty minutes via Stratford Underground. Back home, the apartment offers a workspace and garden, so you can easily balance work and pleasure. And if you feel like eating out, East Village and The Park offer plenty of choices.

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.

Right on the edge of Epping Forest, this beautiful semi-detached Edwardian house has been renovated to an exacting standard, while still retaining many of its original features. The open kitchen living area is the heart of the house, and is bathed in plenty of natural light thanks to glass doors spanning the width of the room and a large skylight. High ceilings, mature indoor plants, and contemporary art characterise the space, alongside Scandi woods and statement pottery. The glass doors lead out onto the private garden, complete with a trampoline for the kids to bounce on, and an outdoor table for long summer lunches. 

Each of the bedrooms is full of charm, decorated with antique furniture and unique trinkets to make you feel right at home. We love the kids’ room, which is full of stuffed toys and books to keep your little one amused throughout your stay. The house is on a peaceful square, one minute walk from Epping Forest. Take a picnic to Hollow Pond in the summertime and watch the rowboats bobbing along the water. You’ll be right on the edge of Walthamstow, the trendy London neighbourhood full of independent coffee shops, vintage boutiques, and excellent restaurants. This area enjoys a village feel and is surrounded by green space – but the hustle and bustle of Central London can still be reached in thirty-five minutes via public transport.

Set in a converted church, this penthouse apartment is brimming with charm. It has all the classic features – from stained glass and arched windows to vaulted ceilings – but it's been given a contemporary twist. The living space is perfect for hanging out together and watching films, while snacks can be enjoyed around the four-top breakfast bar. Location-wise, it's not in central London, but there's a shopping centre and a handful of eateries nearby. You'll also be a ten-minute walk from the Elizabeth Line, which can whisk you to central London in thirty minutes.

East London’s vibrant areas span way further than well-known haunts like Shoreditch. Eleven minutes from Upton Park underground, 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.

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.

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.

Do you appreciate idiosyncratic design? This bright and bijou apartment has the stuff in spades: each room has its own aesthetic and vibe, from the chic, tiled kitchen to bedrooms adorned with psychedelic or flower print wallpaper. A real steal, it suits business travellers based in Stratford, or anyone looking to explore the Olympic Park, original Westfield shopping mall or East London in general. Excellent transport options serve everywhere else in the capital; that large wall map will help you navigate.

This newly refurbished home is finished with neutral interiors and filled with natural light, creating a tranquil atmosphere. The bedroom continues this peaceful theme, with minimalist decor and a queen sized bed. Stratford might not be the most happening location, but it has good connections to central London and the trendy East London scene. The Excel Centre and Canary Wharf can also be reached easily, making this perfect for a business traveller.

Courtyard

The 270-degree river-facing views and vistas of the Canary Wharf skyline at this south-facing loft apartment took our breath away. We particularly love the view from the private balcony of the London Cable Car flying through the clouds – it's the perfect spot for a glass of Champagne. Inside, you'll find a stylish space with dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows – relax on the comfy sofa with its throws and take in the sunset or tinkle the ivories on the piano. Plenty of verdant plants dotted around give this place a homely vibe. This apartment is perfect for a couple, solo traveller or business professional.

Situated in the Greenwich Peninsula, there's plenty to see and do. Watch a gig at The O2 Arena or head to London's Design District, a two-minute stroll away – the development has workspaces and plenty of industry talks and events. Or if you crave some green space, there's plenty here, including a four-acre ecology park made up of freshwater habitat and 1.6 miles of riverside. You also have easy access to the City and central London via the North Greenwich Underground station, which is just over a five-minute walk away.


Cable Cars

East London is often stereotyped as a load of trendy areas with traditional boozers and industrial vibes, but Wanstead is far east enough to have a different feel. This village-like area is connected to the city, but feels more like a quaint town. With a tube station just six minutes from this cosy flat, you can enjoy the best of both worlds. Let’s start outside, as this Georgian conversion building has quite an interesting history – literature fans will be thrilled to hear that it was once owned by Charles Dickens. But this is far from a ‘Bleak House’. Inside, the decor is bright, fresh, and modern. Dark wooden floors look sophisticated alongside white walls and glossy kitchen cabinets, with a pop of colour coming from regal purple cushions. A gilded mirror completes the elegant look, and extra luxury comes from a welcome hamper full of organic goodies from your host. While you’ve got a cute private patio for sitting outside, you might want to explore further afield. Take a fourteen-minute drive to the vast greens of Epping Forest. With nine nature reserves in the district, this 8000-acre landscape makes London feel like a world away.

Greatest Expectations

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.

The Knowledge

This stylish apartment has a prestigious location in Shoreditch, in a landmark building designed by the renowned architects Foster + Partners. We love the ensuite bathroom, beautifully finished with marble. The open-plan living space is flooded with lots of natural light with large windows overlooking London. However, the absolute highlights here for us are the indoor lap pool and spa – perfect for relaxing after a busy day. There's also a residents' lounge, a state-of-the-art gym, and a cinema, so there's plenty to keep you occupied.

If all this wasn't enough, this home has a fabulous address. It's a twelve-minute walk to East London Tech City, otherwise known as Silicon Roundabout, while Spitalfields Market is a four-minute saunter. With its public gardens, bars, and restaurants, Hoxton Square is a seven-minute wander, or art lovers can head to the Barbican Arts Centre, seventeen minutes away on foot.

Umbrellas

With at least two coffee shops and two pubs only a two-minute walk away, this Hackney home is where comfort and creativity come out to play. Walk into any room here and you’ll be met by striking art that sits in beautiful contrast against the statement walls and wooden floors. Furnished with style and comfort in mind, everything that occupies this space doesn’t just look good, but it serves to make your stay as cosy as possible. Head outside first thing in the morning to enjoy your coffee – if you’re early enough you might even catch the sunrise – or  spend hours reading on the floral chair with the fire crackling next to you. Head into the kitchen to work on an elaborate Full English for breakfast, but not before opening the bifold doors and putting some soft music on, dance like no ones watching whilst you cook and gather around the beautiful dining table to eat and plan the day.

With London being as well connected as it is, this marvellous city is your oyster – Buckingham Palace is a forty-minute journey on public transport and from there you can easily take a twenty-five minute walk to Oxford Circus for a bit of shopping, or walk the same distance in a different direction and get to the London Eye where you can marvel at the amazing views over the city. Closer to home, you can spend an entire day at Victoria Park – an eight-minute walk away – just remember the picnic blanket, supplies and a good book, before ending your day with a cold pint in one of the many surrounding pubs 

Midnight Blue Valentine

Sun Loungers / Beach Chairs

Tucked away on a quiet street in Limehouse, this characterful home is full of pops of colour and fun, Scandi design elements. The living room instantly makes you feel welcome with its large sectional sofa, mid-century–style coffee table, desk area and bold blue feature wall. Its prized feature, however, is the door leading out into a private garden. Decked out with ample outdoor seating, this green haven is a quiet and peaceful retreat from the city beyond its walls. Start mornings off here with your morning coffee before gathering in the dazzling tiled kitchen for breakfast. 

When you’re ready to explore, Limehouse Basin with its independent shops and cafes is just a six-minute walk away, while Canary Wharf’s skyscrapers are a twenty-minute stroll from your door. Children will love Stepney City Farm (a five-minute walk) and grown-ups can soak up a slice of history at The Grapes pub which dates back to 1583. After a day of sightseeing, come back home for drinks in the garden, then fire up the barbecue for an alfresco feast. And once it’s time to get some rest, two carefully curated bedrooms wait to drift you into a peaceful night’s slumber. 

Step Into The Limelight

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

Enjoy a stay in Shoreditch, one of London's hippest neighbourhoods. With bars, restaurants, and an Overground station just a short stroll away, you'll have everything you need within easy reach. Brick Lane is also within walking distance – head there for vintage finds and fantastic street food. Taking inspiration from its surroundings, this lofty apartment is as comfortable as it is cool. It's spread across two floors, so there's plenty of room to unwind. Even better, you'll have two balconies to choose from – both ideal for cocktails before a night on the town.

After the Disco

Once owned by Charles Dickens, this Georgian conversion is swimming in history – and yet, it's a modern family apartment with all the luxurious mod-cons needed for a comfortable stay in Greater London. The home is ultra-stylish with blue velvet furniture, white painted brick walls, dramatic spotlighting and an electric fireplace to keep things cosy. Fix up a couple of cocktails in the sleek island kitchen – to be enjoyed out on your private deck. And for those keeping one eye on work, you'll find a dedicated desk space that will make a great home office. Located in a quiet residential part of Wanstead you'll be far removed from the flocks of tourists here. Known for its lovely village-like feel and close-knit community, Wanstead is an affluent and enviable East London spot for families and those working in town – there's a host of shops, bars and restaurants along the High Street, less than five minutes from your door. Walthamstow Market is only down the road while Stratford shopping centre is under twenty minutes on the tube. Plus, you're only half an hour from Tower Bridge, so you can be in the action whenever you please.

The Chimes

Games Room

You'll find this apartment in Tottenham Hale, a short ride on the Victoria Line from central London. Bright and modern, it's an excellent fit for professionals. There's a balcony with city views, a well-appointed kitchen, and speedy wi-fi if working from home is on the agenda. Even better, the building has a communal roof terrace, an on-site fitness centre with a yoga studio, and a shared games room that you're welcome to take advantage of. That's all our boxes checked.

City Sky

Nestled between the open green spaces of London Fields and Victoria Park, the enviable address of this home is just one of the features that makes it special. 

Sitting on the top floor, this architect-designed space has been thoughtfully curated to bring ease and harmony to your city stay. And as soon as you step inside, you’ll want to pause and savour the unique presence of this flat. From the exposed beams and brick to the natural tones and textures, every detail inspires a wonderful sense of balance – it’s the perfect place to relax and unwind whilst enjoying the vibrant east London scene. 

Bathed in natural light, the open-plan living area makes a dreamy spot for a quiet morning coffee before the day begins, while the rustic dining table is perfectly poised for sharing beautiful meals. And with such an incredible range of dining options on your doorstep, there’s everything you could need to enjoy the magic of city living. 

True Character 

Meeting / Conference Rooms

Rising high on the 25th floor, this contemporary apartment in Bromley-by-Bow is an ideal base whether you’re in London for business or leisure. We love the far-reaching city views, best enjoyed from either the privacy of this home’s balcony or the communal rooftop terrace. With shared working spaces in the building, catching up on work during your stay is a breeze. Keen to head into central London? Take the short walk to Bromley-by-Bow station, where a mere twenty-minute journey whisks you to Waterloo Station, ready to soak up the city’s sights. 

Serene in the City

Whether you’re in London for business or leisure, this fuss-free apartment offers an ideal base away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The desk space in the living room makes remote working a breeze, while the cosy balcony is just the spot for morning coffee as you drink in the views across London. Victoria Park is a mere ten minutes away on foot when you crave a little greenery, and Roman Road Market, five minutes away, is well worth a visit – vintage clothing and artisanal food await.

Parking On Street

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 Architect's Daydream

Herb Garden

This sublime property has won an architectural prize, it’s located next to an Overground station and it’s curated to perfection. Modern and connected to the surrounding, it’s a pure joy for curious people who get excited by design. 

The Garden of Eden

Design lovers will find perfect contentment in this east London home. Set across two floors, the rooms have been thoughtfully curated to bring ease and style to daily living. There’s a small garden, a cosy living room, two snug bedrooms and a handy office for remote workers. It’s worth noting there is no private parking available here, but it’s just a short walk to Walthamstow train station – making it easy to explore further afield. It's also possible to walk to coffee shops, restaurants, bakeries and the William Morris Gallery.   

Modern House

Access to Business Centre

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.
