Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Once a 1980s office block, this home has been transformed into a contemporary haven in East London. Set over four floors (two with Juliet balconies overlooking the canal), the rooms are minimalist and modern, offering a sophisticated base for your city break. The office is also handy for remote working and has a pull-out Murphy bed that can sleep two. As for the location, this house is right on the Regent’s Canal, close to Broadway Market and Hackney’s eclectic shops and restaurants. Victoria Park is a ten-minute walk away too – a huge green space with playgrounds and picnic areas that locals love.

Home truths
At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the pull-down Murphy bed in the office.
This home is set over four floors, so you'll need to be able to climb stairs here. It might not be the best option for those with reduced mobility.
While toddlers and children are welcome, this home isn't suitable for babies.
Parking in London can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible. Your host also provides bicycles which you're welcome to use during your stay.

About London Fields
Less raucous than neighbouring Dalston and less family-oriented than Stoke Newington, if this corner of Hackney has a defining characteristic it’s the streetlife. Maybe it's the influence of the area’s large and ever-growing Italian community — with tables and chairs lining the Broadway Market thoroughfare, cocktails and cabaret seating outside railway arches and picnickers in the park in all weathers. The park is also home to the London Fields Lido - London's only 50-metre heated outdoor pool, open whatever the weather. Dive in and join the hardy regulars who swim all year round!
