Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This hip two bedroom apartment is spacious like no other, with double doors throughout that amplify the sense of space even further. Although the kitchen might not be as soulful as some of our homes, you're located within a quiet residential block in what locals call the 'Shoreditch Triangle', minutes away from all the cafes, galleries and bars that make this area the trendiest in London. Due to its proximity to the City, The Calavera will suit business travellers who are also looking to take advantage of Shoreditch's bar and restaurant scene.

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.
