Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Time-Turner is like a time capsule from the early twentieth century that’s just been cracked open (albeit one with very fast wi-fi). The antique furniture is beautiful, as are the vintage kitchen appliances. They’re perhaps not as intuitive as modern counterparts, but there’s so much character locked away in this flat that it hardly matters. Even the small accessories and details are all from the same era, creating a captivating, hodge-podge coherence.

Home truths
The living room has a slightly lower ceiling than normally expected and it does not get much natural light
The spiral staircase is steep and narrow
The bathroom is small and feels more functional than luxurious
The kitchen is wonderful from an aesthetic and historical perspective, but the appliances are antique
As it's a lived in home (and a decidedly bohemian one at that), you can expect a bit of wear and tear around the place
While the windows are double-glazed, the home faces the road, so you might hear some noise

Local guide
About Haggerston
Haggerston is Shoreditch's Northern neighbour. It's a laidback area where you'll be rubbing shoulders with some of London's hippest young creatives and artists, without the tourists that have now well and truly arrived in Shoreditch. Broadway Market is within walking distance and Regent's Canal is another major draw - our favourite spot down by the water is The Towpath Cafe, a great place to chill out with a coffee and start writing that novel.
