Set in a converted church, this penthouse apartment is brimming with charm. It has all the classic features – from stained glass and arched windows to vaulted ceilings – but it's been given a contemporary twist. The living space is perfect for hanging out together and watching films, while snacks can be enjoyed around the four-top breakfast bar. Location-wise, it's not in central London, but there's a shopping centre and a handful of eateries nearby. You'll also be a ten-minute walk from the Elizabeth Line, which can whisk you to central London in thirty minutes.

Home truths
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a free cot, clamp-on high chair, and books and toys upon request.
There isn't air conditioning here, but your host provides portable fans.
While there isn't a proper dining table here, the breakfast bar has stools for four people.
Free parking is available on the premises and on the street. If you'd rather not drive, the Elizabeth Line is a ten-minute walk away and can transport you to central London in about thirty minutes.
The mattresses here are on the firmer side, so not everyone might find them comfortable.
The kitchen lacks basic supplies, so you might want to bring your own.
Depending on preference, you might not find the hot water to be hot enough here.

About Clapton
Clapton is far from what you would normally associate with Central London – it will take you around 45 minutes using public transport to reach Oxford Circus. However, do not let the location put you off from a visit. Many East Londoners that used to reside in Hackney or Shoreditch, have slowly been moving even further East, bringing their creativity and effortlessly cool vibes with them. We love a trip...
