Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
You’ll find this apartment in the vibrant heart of East London. From here, you’re perfectly situated just a short walk from the independent bars and food markets of Shoreditch, the iconic Barbican Centre, and St Paul's Cathedral. The home is minimal and the style is on the dated side of modern, but it’s practical. The bedroom is ideal for two, though if you need to accommodate a third, there’s a pull-out bed here. And while we’re sure you’ll be out about mostly, should you want to eat in, the kitchen is fully-equipped for home-cooked dinners.
