Located in Wapping and overlooking Tobacco Dock, this bright apartment gives you bird's eye views across the city and a comfortable base to call home. We love how much light pours into the living room from the glass doors that lead out onto a private balcony. Sip your morning coffee here as you survey the towering skyline before you or perch here with a sundowner before discovering the area’s food scene. The bedroom boasts equally dazzling floor-to-ceiling windows, as well as a comfortable bed you’ll relish crawling into after a long soak in the bathroom’s tub. When it comes to sightseeing, take a stroll through Wapping Woods (a five-minute walk) or amble along the Thames Path, eight minutes away on foot. You’re also a twenty-five-minute walk from the Tower of London, while bustling Spitalfields Market is just over a half-hour away on foot.

Local guide
About Wapping
Undoubtedly one of London's most atmospheric riverside areas, packed with maritime history and still retaining a real Dickensian feel to many parts of it on account of its many cobbled streets. The old wharfs and spice and tea warehouses that the area is filled with have almost all now been snapped up and converted by hip media types, wanting to live the NY-style loft dream. The area is also well-known for its many historic riverside pubs, gloriously cosy in wintertime and good for sun soaking come summertime.
