Situated in the artsy Brick Lane area, you'll instantly recognise you're in for a special stay from the moment you arrive at this stylish penthouse. With direct access onto your own decked terrace, complete with garden furniture, potted plants, and views across bustling Shoreditch, we can just imagine having coffee and pastries out here, the bifold doors thrown open, instantly expanding your communal space. Stepping inside, you'll find a wonderfully bright and open living area with chic decorative details – from the sleek surfaces to the trendy art prints, patterned rug, and modern furnishings. Enjoy some well-earned 'me' time, curled up on the sofa with a good book, pull down the projector for a cosy movie night in with your partner, or gather your group around the rustic wooden dining table for a home-cooked meal, prepared in the metro-tiled kitchen. If you can bring yourself to leave the comfort of your penthouse pad, you'll find you're right in the thick of things downstairs. With the lively Spitalfields Market and the conveniently located underground stations nearby, plenty of worldly restaurants and hip bars right on your doorstep, as well as Tower Bridge only a sixteen-minute stroll away. If you're seeking out a vibrant... location, then look no further.

About Wapping
Undoubtedly one of London's most atmospheric riverside areas, packed with maritime history and still retaining a real Dickensian feel to many parts of it on account of its many cobbled streets. The old wharfs and spice and tea warehouses that the area is filled with have almost all now been snapped up and converted by hip media types, wanting to live the NY-style loft dream. The area is also well-known for its many historic riverside pubs, gloriously cosy in wintertime and good for sun soaking come summertime.
