Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
A calm, well-designed apartment tucked between Shoreditch Park and Regent's Canal, this Hoxton home strikes a balance between city energy and residential quiet. The sun-trap balcony catches the afternoon light above the greenery – the kind of spot that makes slow mornings hard to leave. Inside, mid-century dining meets a bright, versatile living space, and practical extras like a dedicated workspace and family kit make it easy to settle in for longer. Islington, London Fields, and the Columbia Road Flower Market – a twenty-four-minute walk – are all well within reach.

Home truths
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a travel cot, highchair, and more children's gear. Note that you'll need to bring your own linen for the cot.
The building is residential and peaceful, so you'll be asked to keep noise levels considerate of neighbours during your stay. A decibel monitor is in place here – no audio will be recorded.
If you work remotely, the apartment has a dedicated desk setup with a large monitor, keyboard, mouse, and printer – more than most city apartments offer.
