Offering city views from the shared rooftop terrace, you won't get much more central than this apartment. At full capacity, there might not be a lot of space to gather in the living room, but you'll be close to Shoreditch, Spitalfields, and Brick Lane, where you can enjoy some of the best restaurants and markets in London – and more than enough entertainment to keep you busy the whole day through. While you won't find free parking here, there are paid car parks nearby and you'll be within walking distance of Shoreditch and Whitechapel stations, putting the city at your fingertips.
