Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
A little green hiding place in East London, this vintage-lovers paradise manages to mix thrift shop finds with high-end necessities. It’s a sweet spot that feels homely but certainly doesn’t scrimp on quality or comfort. You’ll be sharing the space with an impressive collection of houseplants, but that’s part of its charm. We love the well-equipped kitchen in miniature and the deep, dark blue of the Victorian bathroom, complete with a claw foot bath for taking a long soak. Pop on the Bluetooth Marshall amp or record player, and enjoy some time away from the busy streets of the capital. Outside, there’s a small but no-less-welcome terrace, which brings a tiny bit of nature into the breathable living space. Located in a lively and interesting part of the city, with the weekly Chatsworth Road Market on your doorstep, there’s plenty to explore, including a host of indy shops and eateries. And it’s only a ten-minute walk to Homerton overground station or twenty minutes to Hackney Central if you fancy seeing what else London has to offer.

There is a wine shop/bar next door to this home, and music can be heard in the bedroom at times (Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights), but not from the living area when the door is pulled closed
This home is on a high street, with a weekly street market every Sunday from 11am to 4pm, so expect there to be some noise then

The entrance to the home is a bit hard to find - there is no number on the door

Local guide
About Hackney
Hackney – the name of this neighbourhood is now more likely to evoke the image of a hipster on a bicycle with a sourdough loaf stuffed in their satchel rather than anything else. Filled with great independent restaurants, cafes and pubs, this part of town is a delight to explore. The green expanses of London Fields and Victoria Park are pretty unbeatable on a summer's day and be sure to check out Broadway Market and Victoria Park Village too, where you'll wander through leafy streets of period houses, and rub shoulders with London's hip young arts and media types.

Go for a dip in London Fields Lido
A heated outdoor swimming pool set right in London Fields. This lido has a sun deck and sunbathing area in addition to a lovely café. It's also floodlit so has a lovely evening ambience.

Order takeaway from Yard Sale Pizza
Feeling lazy? Forget Dominos - these creative and passionate chefs with a wood-fire oven make what is probably the best takeaway pizza in town. And of course, they deliver.

Experience Turkish Cuisine with a twist at Pivaz
Serving up a broad variety of hearty Turkish and Mediterranean cuisine, Pivaz manages to deliver an authentic taste while maintaining a progressive and contemporary feel.

Dine at My Neighbours the Dumplings
Highly recommended by your host, this family-run dumpling restaurant follows the dim sum tradition of small plates cooked to perfection.

Go for a vegan meal at the Spread Eagle
London’s first 100% vegan pub has mastered the art of keeping up with the times while not losing its traditional pub charm. The food is Mexican & delicious, perfect with a pint or a creative cocktail.

Catch a flick at the Castle Cinema
This quirky little local gem is a one of the area’s best kept secrets. The perfect balance of quality sound & vision with cosy arm-chair seating and décor make the Castle a perfect indie picturehouse.

Soak up the sun at Millfields Park
Made up of three large open spaces around Lea Bridge and Chatsworth Road, it's a great spot to soak up the sun with the family or to join the Lea Valley walk.

Get your caffeine fix at Millfields Coffee
With its generously sized kitchen and in-house chef, Millfields is as much about casual all day dining as it is about coffee. We recommended their Turkish eggs.

Catch a game at London Stadium
Home to West Ham United FC and host to sports events and concerts, this huge stadium offers the chance to enjoy exciting matches and memorable performances during your time in London.
