Combine crisp and modern interiors with lavish extras, like a hot tub and a custom-designed glass curtain wall, and you’ll get this flash penthouse apartment in the thumping heart of Shoreditch. Natural light pours through the large south-facing window and illuminates the sleek living space – it’s the ideal spot for reclining with your morning coffee or catching up on work at the dining table. On balmy afternoons, lunch on the terrace and soothe tired muscles in the bubbling Jacuzzi. Step outside of your front door and you’ll find yourself surrounded by some of the city’s best bars, authentic East End pubs and world-class eateries. Check out exhibitions in the Autograph Gallery, a four-minute walk away, or take the fifteen-minute mosey to Brick Lane to fill up on street food before browsing the vintage shops.
