Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined street in Dalston, this home is wonderful for a family or group of friends looking to stay in East London. The interiors boast high ceilings with beautiful mouldings, classic marble fireplaces and unique artwork. Play a song on the piano while the chef of the group rustles up dinner in the mint kitchen, then serve it up at the large wooden dining table. You’ll have a view of the verdant back garden, one of the highlights of this home. Sip your morning coffee on the grass, or even prepare a little picnic to enjoy in the fresh air. The bedrooms here are simple and cosy, with mint and beige walls, wooden bed frames and decorative art that lends each room a personal touch. You’ll be in a great East London location, a ten-minute walk from Dalston Lane and eighteen minutes from Kingsland Road, where you’ll find excellent coffee shops, restaurants and bars. Victoria Park and Bethnal Green are both within a thirty minutes’ walk, and should you want to explore central London, just hop on the tube and reach the heart of the city in forty minutes.

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...
