Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
We love the location of this apartment. It's in Farringdon, just a short walk from the Barbican Centre and multiple Tube stations. You can stay local and discover Shoreditch's many eateries and bars, or hop on the train and zip across London with ease. The apartment is modest in style but has all the essentials you'll need to settle in. Floor-to-ceiling windows give a glimpse of the city's views. Even better, there's a small balcony where you can enjoy a post-sightseeing glass of wine.
