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.

Great Spot

Open light-filled apartment with great views of city. Sights like Tower of London, as well as restaurants on the Thames are within walking distance: 1-2 miles. Sainbury is within a couple blocks. Amenities were very good and functioned well. Ian is a responsive host.

Wonderful experience, lovely family stay

The flat is pretty, spacious and had all the amenities for a relaxing stay in London. It’s in a residential area just outside St Katharine‘s docks which has plenty of restaurants, is next to the tube and ferry, and is close to a Waitrose. Would definitely recommend for anyone who wants to experience London at their own pace and would rather return to a home than a crowded hotel. The host was very helpful and responsive, made everything easy.

My family and I were very comfortable on this apartment. Close to the London Bridge and with supermarkets very close where we solved many of the meals we made during our visit. Large living room, incredible views and two bedrooms with large beds. We were able to organise ourselves very well. Transport is also nearby and you communicate with the points of interest with ease. Thank You, Ian

Light and Airy

The apartment was as advertised. It was clean and neat. There were instructions for the washer and dryer but not for the stove which presented a problem. Instructions on how to operate/turn on the stove would be helpful. We also could not open the door to the balcony. We did enjoy the views and felt relaxed in the living room. The location was close to the Tower Bridge area. It was a very pleasant stay.

Excellent flat, great location

This was a great place to stay. Right in between 2 walkable tube stations that would get you anywhere in the London area easily. Flat was well equipped with everything we needed. Nice patio to enjoy the view, well stocked kitchen, nice sitting area with a couch, and 2 decent size bedrooms. Plenty of storage for your things while there. Ian was super helpful with suggestions and was great with communication. Price was way more affordable than London hotels, and there you a little room. Here you hand 2 bedrooms, living room, kitchen, bath, patio, etc. Great value for London. Highly recommend. Fully enjoyed the stay here. We had 2 adults and one teen. Was prefect.

Nice apartment in good location

We enjoyed our stay at Ian's apartment. It was exactly as expected from the description and photos. The apartment was a good size for two people (or more) with a good kitchen, comfortable beds, nice bright lounge room with tv. The walk to Shadwell DLR takes only 5 mins and gives access via Bank station to almost every part of London on the tube. Ian met us when we arrived and allowed us to have early access to the apartment which was very kind. There is a good supermarket about 10 mins walk from the apartment and with the well equipped kitchen we were able to eat in a lot of nights. Easy to recommend this apartment to anyone wanting to stay more than a couple of days in London.

Great London Stay!

Great apartment with all your needed amenities and lots of space and close proximity to Shadwell tube and bus. The area felt safe regardless of time we were out. This apartment is secure, bright and well equipped, with lots of added touches to make your stay easy and comfortable. Communication with the owner was very fast and responsive. There is a nice little coop grocery mart adjacent to the apartment complex which is great for picking up your immediate grocery needs. The owner even has a little grocery cart to help you with your haul! There are two nice playgrounds all within a block walking distance and a McDonald’s and dominos for a quick bite after a long flight: thank you for your hospitality Ian! We would highly recommend this property and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

apartment near Shadwell

Coming from the US we had no real idea where to stay or what areas were ok. The most vexing and difficult thing about this property was that the key was a 14 min walk from the actual property. This was explained to me by the property manager as a me problem because I did not check in between the times of 3 and 7 pm. This was not communicated ahead of time. We had to ask our airport driver to make a special stop and then when he dropped us off he kept saying that we were staying in "council" housing. Somehow even though we checked out at a very respectable 10:30 am we had to return the key to this walk 14 minutes away. The flat was good as advertised, beds comfortable, good view, fairly nice location but the building was horribly stinky and the elevator as well. Glad I was with my tall husband and family.

The flat is in a nice location, a short walk to several good grocery stores and has nice restaurants nearby. It's close to the Tower of London, several bus routes, and the underground. It's a nice size flat with great views and is in a very secure building. It's a great value for the price and it matches the description perfectly in Vrbo. Ian's communication was great and made self check in very easy. We enjoyed staying in this flat very much and would definitely use it again on our next trip to London.
