Get a taste of that iconic brand of East London cool by staying at this quirky pad situated in the heart of Bethnal Green. Close to Victoria Park, Columbia Road Flower Market and countless other East London attractions, and with great transport links with the centre, this is a perfect base for those visiting the capital and wanting to experience a side of it that is far away from the usual tourist trails. We love the eclectic mix of styles and textures which all come together to create a unique ambience – from exposed bricks to statement-making staircases and wooden floors. The open-plan living room offers plenty of comfy nooks for kicking back and relaxing at the end of a long day of dashing about town, and should a chillier evening happen to come about, there’s even a wood-burning stove for added warmth. On the other side, the modern kitchen invites you to rustle up some delicious meals which can be savoured at the dining table or out on the roof terrace. Head upstairs for a night of sweet dreams, but before you drift off to sleep in the four-poster bed, treat yourself to an indulgent soak in the freestanding... bathtub.
