Situated just off the bustling Kingsland Road, this fourth-floor apartment offers attractive views of East London from its floor to ceiling windows. Despite being on the doorstep of Shoreditch, one of the capital's perennially popular nightlife destinations, the home is well soundproofed and allows guests to dip in and out as they please. It's also less than ten minutes from Old Street station, where the Northern Line can whisk you directly to King's Cross or London Bridge. While a party of three or more will need to use the sofa bed, a sliding door is thoughtfully provided that turns the living area into an impromptu second bedroom.

Home truths
At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area. While the property does have a sliding door to offer greater privacy, we'd recommend allocating beds in advance.
Parking in this part of London can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.

Local guide
About Shoreditch
Even if you don't end up actually staying here, Shoreditch is a must-see part of London for any visitor. Its mix of filmset-perfect cobbled streets of early Georgian townhouses sit alongside converted warehouses and graffiti murals aplenty. Many of the artist residents who first made the area hip have had to move away on account of rising house prices, but there's still plenty to see and the area is ram-packed full of small galleries, independent boutiques and some of London's coolest bars and restaurants.
