Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Travelling about London is a cinch from this practical studio apartment, set just a four-minute walk from Aldgate East Underground Station. Rather walk and take in the sights? The riverfront is just a ten-minute stroll away. Part of a contemporary aparthotel, while the shared facilities are impressive (think communal gym, co-working lounges and an on-site café), it's important to note this studio home is pocket-sized. Don't expect to be whipping up any feasts in the compact kitchenette. But with the happening restaurant scene of Shoreditch, Hoxton and Hackney just a short stroll away, you won't need to.

Local guide
About Wapping
Undoubtedly one of London's most atmospheric riverside areas, packed with maritime history and still retaining a real Dickensian feel to many parts of it on account of its many cobbled streets. The old wharfs and spice and tea warehouses that the area is filled with have almost all now been snapped up and converted by hip media types, wanting to live the NY-style loft dream. The area is also well-known for its many historic riverside pubs, gloriously cosy in wintertime and good for sun soaking come summertime.

Host
This home is managed by Djamel
This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Your hosts wanted to recreate the idea of traditional gate and guesthouses, where people would socialise in communal spaces then retreat to their private rooms. The result is a boutique aparthotel with a 24-hour reception ready to hand out local recommendations and assist with anything you need.
This home is nominated for the Plum Guide Award.
