Central London Apartment
Our charming home has a mid century feel and is a single level apartment in a small 4 story contemporary building (we don`t hear the neighbors). We are on the second floor which is accessible by stairs or lift.
The space consists of 2 equal sized double bedrooms, 1 bathroom, 1 communal living space with separate dining and seating area which connects to a small balcony where we grow herbs and some plants in pots. The communal room is especially light (lovely sunrises in the spring/summer) with triple aspect windows which allow for a good view of Canary Wharf to the east of the city. The kitchen is well equipped as we are keen chefs.
About the location
Incredibly well located in Shadwell E1 with 2 train stations 3 & 5 min walk away that can get you pretty much any central London station in 20-30 min. We are also very accessible to Heathrow Airport on the new Elizabeth line.
There are many buses around the corner and bike sharing rental bikes readily available everywhere (there are spare bike helmets in the flat). Short stroll to shops or our weekly local market which has several fruit and veg sellers daily. If you like a long walk you can get to Borough market in 45 min and the Tate Modern in an hour.
It really is a perfect spot to explore London from.
