Vintage-loving couples and design fiends will thrill at this creative East London home. From the shabby-chic dressers brimming with crockery to the cherry-red sofa and those stylistically skew-whiff art prints, there’s not a single corner of this home that doesn’t exude character. In the bathroom, a claw-foot tub and tiled, walk-in shower squabble for your attention. But after a day traversing London, a full-to-the-brim bubble bath will be just what you need. Also demanding a look is nearby Kingsland Road, a myriad of hipster bars and must-book restaurants are less than a ten-minute walk away. In the evening, sit out in your vibrant garden with a glass of wine in hand, basking in the tranquillity as the city surges on in the distance.

About Dalston

Although Dalston is not a Central London location and is fairly residential, it really has a lot going for it that makes it one of the most popular neighbourhoods to hang out in on the weekend. Urbanised and multi-cultural, many Londoners flock to Dalston for trendy brunch spots, vintage shops, great food and buzzing nightlife. We would start the day with breakfast at Hash E8 or Cafe Route, mooch around...
