Shabby chic with an industrial flair, this apartment is a cosy and stylish home in one of London’s trendiest boroughs. Just under a five-minute walk from Brick Lane and Spitalfields Market, the area is jam-packed with cafes, restaurants, and fun-filled bars – ensure you check out all the vintage shops that line the streets here. And for those ticking off their city bucket list, Tower Bridge and Old Street are both within a half-hour walk from your door. Inside, we love how the rustic beams and exposed brick are softened by warm, modern furniture, abstract artwork and curated houseplants. Come together for a hearty meal around the repurposed-wooden dining table – prepared in the charming country-style kitchen. Although, with so much to eat, drink and do nearby, we think you'll be spending most of your time dining out. Of course, this area is also a nightlife hot spot, so expect to see people out and about all evening – however, the apartment itself is in a largely residential spot and consequently, very peaceful. There's a pleasant surprise too. Head out onto the amazing, communal roof terrace for some incredible city views over the big smoke. Pre-dinner drinks go down a treat up here.
