This trendy little flat in East London’s Walthamstow is ideal for a small family or close-knit group of friends looking for a quiet getaway in this trendy London suburb. Behind the sunshine yellow front door, you’ll find a wonderfully cosy living room. When the weather’s not quite right, it’s the perfect place to nestle into that plump armchair, wrapped up in a blanket, with a paperback from the bookshelf and a hot cup of tea. Look forward to intimate mealtimes in the dining space – the twinkling lights and gallery wall set the mood nicely. After starting your morning listening to the chirruping birds from your back garden, take the three-minute saunter into Lloyd Park for a picnic in its acres of lush grounds. Feed the ducks at the pond or browse the William Morris Museum. In the late afternoon, catch up with friends in Walthamstow high street’s cool bars – a twenty-minute walk from your doorstep. Or, hop on the tube into central to try those game-changing restaurants you’ve heard so much about.
