The restoration of this former Victorian warehouse is impressive. Formerly an old tea factory, it now exists as a beautiful space to live and enjoy its unique character. It’s also conveniently located near Shoreditch and Brick Lane, with the underground tube station just a quick walk away. So whether you’re here for an action-packed city stay or a spontaneous escape, there’s everything you could need to experience the real magic of London living. Inside, the owners have designed the rooms to feel cosy and intimate. From the art and objects to the calm palette of colours, it's the kind of space you’ll love walking into after a day in the city. Enjoy the simple pleasure of home cooking in the fully-equipped kitchen, curl up with a book on the sofa and wake up feeling refreshed after a restorative night’s sleep in the snug bedrooms. From here, days can be spent exploring east London’s diverse landscape. From cafes and vintage stores to galleries and weekend market stalls, you’ll find a constant source of inspiration on your doorstep. And for explorations further afield, it’s just a short walk to Tower Bridge, while central London is only a quick tube ride away.

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.
