Tower Hamlets Unique Homes

Hackney Carriage

• 2 guests

• 1 bedrooms

Fish Island, London

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.

The Olde Prose

• 5 guests

• 3 bedrooms

Hackney, London

Surrounded by characterful pubs and fine eateries, this home is nestled between the lively neighbours of Islington and Dalston. The open-plan living area has plenty of space and natural light, especially for a flat – thanks, in part, to skylights and bi-fold doors allowing sunlight to bounce off the white walls.

An Urban Eden

London, England

Located in the financial district of Canary Wharf, this eighth-floor two bedroom apartment is particularly suited to those visiting London on business. Indeed, one bedroom features a built-in desk (not to mention an en-suite), while the other has its own exercise bike so guests can keep sharp while admiring the views.
