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

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

Located close to Shoreditch and Hoxton, this two-bedroom apartment is in an ideal spot for independent shops, eclectic eateries, and creative culture (see: the local street art). Large windows let in plenty of natural light to make the living area bright and inviting, and there’s ample space to cook, dine, or catch up on work (along with a communal terrace for sunny days). And with two bathrooms to go with the two bedrooms, this flat is well kitted-out for a family or group of friends. Walk five minutes to Old Street station for the Tube or trains when you’re ready to explore further afield.

The Crown Nest

This attractive apartment is a great choice of base in London, whether you’re in the city for business or leisure. It’s in Shoreditch, on lively Old Street, with a wealth of restaurants, bars, and cafes nearby. It’s also a hotspot for shopping, theatre, and galleries. With its modern amenities, this loft-style apartment is a comfortable home-from-home, though at full occupancy, four guests will sleep in the living and dining space – two on the sofa bed, and two in a king-size bed. We’d stick to a guest count of four if you're seeking more privacy. 

Old Street Oasis

Sitting right on the edge of London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, this stunningly curated penthouse apartment wins gold with its beautiful views, luxurious touches and designer styling. 
 
Floor to ceiling windows in the open-plan living area bathe the space in light, while carefully curated design pieces like a Rodica chair, freestanding arc lamp and plush modern sofas complement the chic scene. Slide open the glass doors to step out onto a private balcony where a table and chairs invite morning coffees and celebratory sundowners alike while taking in the wide-sweeping views over the Olympic Park. From this privileged spot, you can see some of the area’s most famous sights, including the London 2012 Olympic Rings (a three-minute walk away), the Lee Valley VeloPark (also a three-minute walk)  and the London ArcelorMittal Orbit (a twenty-minute walk). 
 
Back inside, the modern kitchen is ready to cater homemade feasts to be enjoyed at the elegant dining table, followed by a nightcap on the bedrooms’ balconies and a restful night’s sleep in their comfortable beds. 
 
Throughout, you’ll appreciate the luxe details that amplify your relaxation, like underfloor heating in every room, a wine cooler in the kitchen, a rainfall shower and soaking tub in the bathrooms, as well as welcome goodies like pastries to make you feel right at home. 
 
While you could spend all day in your plush pad and its Olympic Park playground, venture out to explore further afield where you’ll find plenty more things to see and do –, Westfield Stratford City shopping centre is an eight-minute walk, trendy Hackney Wick is a fourteen-minute stroll and leafy Victoria Park is a twenty minutes away on foot.


The Marilyn Monroe

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.

Olympic Haven

If you’re in search of a relaxing haven in the heart of Hackney, this warehouse apartment delivers a peaceful solution. Tucked away on the top floor, you’ll be welcomed by a calm open-plan design and plenty of home comforts. There’s a raised meditation and yoga zone to fill your day with positive energy and plenty of work space for digital nomads. You’ll also have a little balcony – perfect for a morning coffee or evening drinks. From here, it’s a short walk to Walthamstow Marshes and the nearest amenities in Clapton. It’s also just a short walk to the nearest bus stop – making it easy to explore further airfield.

Find Your Flow 

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.

Hitchcock's Map

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

Moments from Maryland station, this home offers a well-connected city stay. You’ll find quick links with central London thanks to the Elizabeth Line. There’s also a great selection of local restaurants, cafes and shops within walking distance. Plus, it’s possible to walk to the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and Hackney. Parking is available here and there's a sweet little terrace for warm weather drinks. Inside, the rooms are well-suited to families and groups in search of simplicity and ease. The zip-and-link beds can be arranged as singles on request and you’ll find all the essentials you could need to get you started. 

Live the Dream

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.
