Sitting right near the north bank of the Thames in the relaxed neighbourhood of Wapping, this recently refurbished apartment exudes style and modern functionality. Upon crossing the threshold, you’ll find soft and inviting decor, with the floral wallpaper and chic light fittings making for an especially cosy interior. Though it may get a bit cramped at full occupancy with just one bathroom, the location more than makes up for it – outside, the building is surrounded by charming cobbled streets and traditional pubs, while landmarks like the nearby Tower of London are easily accessible.

Home truths
At full occupancy, one guest will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area and two on the king bed in the living room. Since there is only one bathroom here, at full occupancy it might get a little cramped.
Parking in London can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible. The closest train station is Limehouse, a ten-minute walk away.
This home is on the first floor with lift access.

About Stepney
Stepney is a vibrant, easy-going part of East London that will give you a good sense of local, multicultural London life. It's unpretentious and wears its grub on its sleeve, but the area has a real sense of community and there are some real gems here too: the almshouses, the pockets of protected Georgian houses, the wonderful Genesis independent cinema and not forgetting the Stepney City Farm, a must for any groups with young children.
