Hackney is one of London's most vibrant neighbourhoods, thanks to its trendy eateries, lively bars, and popular coffee shops. Perfectly positioned in the heart of it all, this penthouse apartment is just ten minutes from Dalston, Stoke Newington, and Hackney Central. Next door is the greenery of Hackney Downs, while a fifteen-minute walk will take you to London Fields. But location isn't the only thing we love – the apartment itself is effortlessly modern, bright, and comfortable. We love the skylights and breezy living space, equipped with everything you need for a relaxed London stay. The cherry on top is the private south-facing rooftop terrace, perfect for enjoying a glass of wine while enjoying the view.

About Hackney
Hackney – the name of this neighbourhood is now more likely to evoke the image of a hipster on a bicycle with a sourdough loaf stuffed in their satchel rather than anything else. Filled with great independent restaurants, cafes and pubs, this part of town is a delight to explore. The green expanses of London Fields and Victoria Park are pretty unbeatable on a summer's day and be sure to check out Broadway Market and Victoria Park Village too, where you'll wander through leafy streets of period houses, and rub shoulders with London's hip young arts and media types.
