East London’s vibrant areas span way further than well-known haunts like Shoreditch. Eleven minutes from Upton Park underground, this incredible designer loft is ideal for a creative space to relax in. This red-brick building was formerly the cafeteria of a Boy’s Club in the 1930s. The architect of the Queen Elizabeth Ocean Liner designed this home – so you know you can expect something special. Boho meets Art Deco and Bauhaus inside this loft, with dark wood flooring and unique wood panelling featured throughout the space. Leaving the building, you’ll descend a truly historic staircase. You might even feel as if it's channeling the vibes of the grand staircase on a royal ocean liner. Hop on public transport to reach East London in less than twenty minutes. This area is awash with high street shops, international restaurants, beer gardens, and rooftop bars. To really immerse yourself into London culture, stay on the tube a bit longer to reach Central London. Here, you'll find fascinating museums, chic art galleries and the beautiful parks that define the landscape.
