This is a fabulous gem of a flat, perfect for a couple or indeed a solo traveller, looking to make the most out of their stay in the heart of East London. Situated just moments away from Victoria Park and Hackney’s countless independent shops, bars, cafes and restaurants, this home epitomises the very brand of cool the area is known for. After a long day of exploring, you’ll be happy to know that the cosy living room with its comfy sofa awaits you – with all the lovely plants, books and unique objects dotted about, you’ll feel right at home. A light supper can be easily rustled up in the bright kitchen area, and you’ll be able to enjoy your meals up on the roof terrace, a perfect place to spend a relaxing evening or to sip your morning coffee. Get a good night’s sleep in the comfy bedroom and wake up well-rested and ready for another day of London adventures. You can easily explore all the hidden treasures and vintage shops of Hackney on foot, and if you fancy venturing out further, Hackney Wick and London Fields Overground stations are both within a short walk away.

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.

Eat Pizza made in A Disco Ball Oven
Bob along to Lardo for lunch after a hectic day exploring 'The East'. Hip, industrial-chic pizzeria that is intimate and serves possibly the best pizza in London.
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.
Grab lunch at E5 Bakehouse
The E5 Bakehouse is an East London artisan bakery and coffee shop using baking traditions from their ancestors. They also do weekly bread courses and the Curried Red Lentil Soup is delicious.
Marvel the wonders at Viktor Wynd
Fans of oddities are going to have the best time here - the only Curiosity Museum in the country. With everything from taxidermy to Happy Meal Toys, it's an incredible collection.
Pick your favourite Beer or cocktail at The Cat & Mutton
Sitting proudly at the helm of Broadway Market, this pub has been welcoming its costermongers and consumers for 300 years. And up a spiral staircase there is Pearl's cocktail lounge - your pick.
Admire the Rooftop views from Netil360
There's one thing you should know about this pared-down London Fields rooftop bar with panoramic views - there’s quite a bit of a walk (nine flights of stairs to be precise) but it's well worth it.
Wander around Mare Street Market
Mare Street Market is a great spot to while away a weekend afternoon. It has a restaurant and a selection of local businesses, including a record shop, florist, bakery, deli and cocktail bar.
Indulge in Pophams' pastries and sourdough delights
Pophams - London Fields is a bright, Scandinavian-style cafe bakery known for its amazing pastries, fluffy sourdough, and perfectly brewed coffee. With friendly staff and a lovely urban ambience, it's the perfect spot to enjoy some treats.
