A serviced studio apartment in the heart of Whitechapel, this is the perfect crash pad for a solo traveller or couple. The place is compact yet well-appointed – the kitchenette comes in handy for extended stays, but if you’d prefer to dine out, there’s a restaurant on the premises and many delicious eateries on your doorstep. Plus, you'll have access to a members’ lounge with a co-working space, a communal terrace and a shared gym.

Home truths
Your host has several rooms here, so the exact view, layout and furnishings might differ slightly from the photos. However, the overall quality should remain the same.
While the kitchenette isn't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the room. That said, it is compact, so we think it's best suited to light bites.
Given the central spot, expect to hear some street noise throughout your stay.
This is a serviced studio apartment in an aparthotel. You’ll only have a private bedroom, kitchenette and bathroom here. The gym, terrace and members’ lounge are shared with other guests. You'll also have access to weekly complimentary yoga classes and workshops.

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 Edwin
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.
