About this property

Two bed light & airy flat in central Zone 1, with excellent views over London.

Hello!

My flat (postcode E1) less than a 15 min walk to Tower Hill tube station (Circle/District line), the Tower of London & the historic St Katharine’s Dock with all its restaurants & the beautiful reconstructed 18th century Dickens Inn.

Shoreditch & the lovely Spitalfields Market are a 20 min walk away. The closest station to the flat is Shadwell (on the Docklands Light Railway, accessed via Bank station), and is about a 6 min walk away.

My flat is a very light & bright spacious two bed, with kitchen, living room (I have replaced the tv in the photo) bathroom and separate wc. (The flat is strictly max. 4 persons due to insurance).

There are excellent views from this traditional 1960's tower block. I have a south facing balcony from which you can see Tower Bridge & the London Eye.

The larger bedroom has a very comfortable king size bed, large wardrobes & large mirror and the smaller one has a new standard double bed, wardrobe & large mirror. The bathroom has a good shower in the bath, heated from a combi boiler - you will never run out of hot water!

In the lounge, apart from the amazing views, you’ll find the wifi and tv, an extending dining-table, 4 chairs and a large L-shaped settee. The kitchen has a fridge, freezer, dishwasher, new washer/dryer, double oven and hob. There is also a new microwave, kettle, 4 slot toaster & a dab radio.

The flat has been newly updated, including real wood floors and new bathroom. (I have detailed instructions on how to access iPlayer/Netflix upon request.)

I leave towels, washing machine powder, tea, coffee, sugar, cooking basics, kitchen paper, toilet paper & shower gel for your use. There is also a fold-up baby cot, should you require it, & a hairdryer.

East London, and it's fascinating history, has become one of the most fashionable areas of the city. The River Thames & many famous old traditional pubs, such as The Prospect of Whitby, are all close by. There is a very good, large Waitrose supermarket, open late, near by.

We LOVE the location

We truly loved the location. The evening view of the city was fantastic! The city lights were gorgeous. Two grocery stores within a 5 minute walk! We went every day. For us the walk to the underground was 8 minutes. The tower bridge was the same distance, 8 minutes and what a beautiful Riverwalk.

Cute & homey flat

My friends and I really enjoyed our stay here. Very well decorated and kept and we felt so comfortable. We were grateful to have a washing machine. Gorgeous views from the balcony! We also enjoyed being a quick walk from the Tower Bridge and walked across it most days. Weekdays there is a DLR and overground stop 8 minutes away, nights and weekends the closest station is 15 minutes. Not too much of a bother for us, but keep it in mind.

Hidden Gem

My husband and i usually stay on the west side of London; however we wanted to try something different and i'm glad we did. Our host, Ian was responsive to our inquiries. The location was perfect, not too far from Central London. We took walks along the River Thames. There was plently to explore. We would stay again and hopefully, stay longer.

Lovely place

Very nice place to stay that’s close to many train stations and within walking distance of most of central london. Extra pillows were provided but pillowcases would be nice too. If you prefer a luxurious washroom this might not be the place for you, but aside from that it’s lovely. a perfect place with a large kitchen, plenty of living space, a balcony, and spacious bedrooms. I quite like the neighborhood as wel.

Short trip to central London

We stayed 6 nights and enjoyed our vacation. All in the apartment was like described, short ways to Tower Bridge, Tube and DLR-Station were a plus. Nice and wide view from balcony especially in the evenings. Great communication with Ian, so little hiccups were solved quickly. We‘d like to come back someday.

Easy location

We loved our stay. It was easy to walk to major tourist areas, take the Underground or Overground. The place is very cute and gives you a little space as we had 2 adult children with us. Ian is an expert communicator so had an easy time finding the place and getting settled for our week in London.

Great value apartment in the East End

The property was a great base for exploring London. Ian is a very good host and ensured our check-in and check-out was hassle free. The place was very clean and we appreciated the kitchen had all the utensils that are often lacking in short stay accommodation. Ian's apartment is a great place for a family to stay in London at reasonable price.

Decent spot close to Thames

Great little stay. Family of 4, and it was within a short walk to tube station, The Tower and the Thames Walk. My only complaint was it could get noisy from traffic and sirens. It is an urban area so it’s a little to be expected, but that would be my only comment. Everything else was great. Communications were prompt.
