Embracing the East London aesthetic, this industrial-style apartment in London Fields is an ideal choice for those who want to spend their time relaxing in style or exploring the very best of the capital. Conveniently, there’s an overground station a two-minute walk from the doorstep. The living room and bedroom provide direct access to a private balcony – a rarity in these parts. Our favourite feature, however, was the communal rooftop, where you’ll enjoy access to a swimming pool and sweeping views of the City skyline. Look closely, and you’ll see the iconic Gherkin building.

Home truths:
*Parking in London can be tricky and expensive, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible. *This home is near a railway, so expect to hear some noise from passing trains when the doors are open. *If you need to pick up some provisions during your stay, there’s a Lidl supermarket a five-minute walk away.
