For a cooler and quieter vibe to East London, Clapton is one of the more under-the-radar areas. Among hip cafés, artist’s studios, and dimly-lit cocktail bars, this converted warehouse fits right in with the local vibe. We love the architecture and design features – incredibly modern decor, enormous windows, open-plan living spaces, a mezzanine bedroom, glass partitions, and skylights. It feels as if it’s made for creativity, socialising, and entertaining. The mix of pop art, collages, and photographs in vivid colors dress the stark white walls beautifully. And with collections of trinkets like the lucky cats and cartoon figurines, you'll keep finding little features to pique your interest. A complimentary bottle of wine and snacks will be waiting for you, which will be perfect for gathering around the pool table, by the electric piano, or relaxing on the oversized stiletto chair (yes, you read that right). Fifteen minutes away you’ve got Lee Valley Park – a vast countryside space that stretches all the way out to Essex and Hertfordshire. As this home is fully pet-friendly, this place is a dog walker's dream. Or in the other direction, the overground is a seven-minute walk, taking you to Liverpool Street in just... twenty minutes.

Local guide
About Stoke Newington
Stoke Newington (or 'Stokey' as it is affectionately called by its residents) is a very popular village-like part of town wedged between Finsbury Park, Islington and Dalston. You'll mainly be rubbing shoulders with young artsy families, who are attracted to the area by its distinctive community atmosphere, period townhouses, and great array of independent shops, cafes, and restaurants - we're pretty confident you won't be short of great brunch and coffee stop-offs in this area.

Get your caffeine fix at Millfields Coffee
With its generously sized kitchen and in-house chef, Millfields is as much about casual all day dining as it is about coffee. We recommended their Turkish eggs.
Match Sourdough pizza and natural wine at SoDo
This pizzeria is part of a small, London-based chain that’s made a name for itself with simple toppings and excellent dough.
Grab a pint at The Crooked Billet
Armed with a huge beer garden, this place is upmarket but never loses its charm.
