Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
With this cool address stationed just a two-minute walk from Shoreditch high street, you'll have a stylish base from which to explore the buzzing locale and other hot spots of central London. The fresh and contemporary design of the home is in keeping with its creative surroundings in this edgy part of town. Think brushed concrete walls, colourful abstract art pieces and contrasting luxurious modern features throughout. Take in the urban views from one of the private balconies – which we think provides the perfect spot for sipping your morning coffee. The open layout of the kitchen and the living room creates a sociable space where all of the group can come together for evening drinks after a day out in London – grab a fresh bottle from the wine cooler fridge. The vibrant area of Shoreditch has a great choice of bars, galleries, and boutiques – so there'll be little need to step foot on public transport when staying local. But when you do want to head out further afield, the easy to reach transport links mean all of London's sights are within easy reach.
