Tucked away on a quiet street in Limehouse, this characterful home is full of pops of colour and fun, Scandi design elements. The living room instantly makes you feel welcome with its large sectional sofa, mid-century–style coffee table, desk area and bold blue feature wall. Its prized feature, however, is the door leading out into a private garden. Decked out with ample outdoor seating, this green haven is a quiet and peaceful retreat from the city beyond its walls. Start mornings off here with your morning coffee before gathering in the dazzling tiled kitchen for breakfast. When you’re ready to explore, Limehouse Basin with its independent shops and cafes is just a six-minute walk away, while Canary Wharf’s skyscrapers are a twenty-minute stroll from your door. Children will love Stepney City Farm (a five-minute walk) and grown-ups can soak up a slice of history at The Grapes pub which dates back to 1583. After a day of sightseeing, come back home for drinks in the garden, then fire up the barbecue for an alfresco feast. And once it’s time to get some rest, two carefully curated bedrooms wait to drift you into a peaceful night’s slumber.

About Stepney

Stepney is a vibrant, easy-going part of East London that will give you a good sense of local, multicultural London life. It's unpretentious and wears its grub on its sleeve, but the area has a real sense of community and there are some real gems here too: the almshouses, the pockets of protected Georgian houses, the wonderful Genesis independent cinema and not forgetting the Stepney City Farm, a must for any groups with young children.
