Occupying the top floor of a converted townhouse, the contemporary design of this apartment reflects the rapidly evolving nature of East London. From your south-facing balcony, gaze out over charming Victorian brick buildings and towering steel and glass skyscrapers that sit side by side. Its central location is ideal for exploring the best of East London, with the trendy vintage shops and street food markets of the nightlife mecca of Shoreditch just a short walk north, with Aldgate's two tube stations connecting you with the rest of the city. Despite the buzz on your doorstep, the one-way road keeps traffic calm, and your office block and residential neighbours ensure minimal nocturnal noise.

Local guide
About Whitechapel
Whitechapel has a diverse and colourful ethnic makeup. The area was the centre of the London Jewish community in the 19th century, and was the infamous site of the Jack the Ripper murders in the 1880's. More recently it has become home to a large British Bangladeshi community leading to it's nickname as Banglatown. Take a walk down Brick Lane to get a flavour of this ethnic diversity with numerous curry houses and bagel shops to dive into.
