The Victoria Retreat

Holiday Rental Description

There's so much to love about this home in trendy East London, we don't know where to begin. First, it's got plenty of space. Spread over three floors, it's perfect for large families, with a sociable kitchen and cosy lounge ideal for relaxed evenings at home. Plus, it's brimming with interesting artwork and lovely personal touches that add so much personality to the place. Then, there's the quaint garden. Spend summer evenings lounging on the rattan furniture, sipping cocktails and grilling on the barbecue whilst the kids play with the collection of outdoor toys. And, last but not least, it's in an excellent location, just a five-minute walk from Victoria Park – one of the nicest green spaces in London – and Victoria Village, where you'll find plenty of artisan bakeries, delicatessens, local cafes and restaurants to try when you don't feel like cooking. Whether you're smelling the roses at Columbia Road Flower Market (a twenty-five-minute walk), exploring Olympic Park (a fifteen-minute bus ride) or heading into central London (London Fields Overground is a twelve-minute stroll away), this is a fab family-friendly spot to take it all in.
