Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
London's Hackney Wick is known for its trendy eateries and eclectic atmosphere. It's also where you'll find this top-floor flat, just a stone's throw from shops, bars, and restaurants. Situated on a contemporary apartment complex, you'll have access to a resident's gym, a communal rooftop garden, and a private balcony. Every inch of the interior is brimming with natural light, and we're big fans of the mid-century-inspired design. Whether you're working from home in the study or curling up with a book in the cosy bedrooms, it's easy to feel at home here – just note that noise is likely since this is a lively area.
