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.

The apartment was ideal for our purposes. It is situated within a comfortable walk to the Tower Hill and Shadwell tube stations. The kitchen is well set up for those who like to cook for themselves. Unlike many places, this kitchen was stocked with spices and a few staples. The beds were very comfortable. Communication with our host was exceptional.

Response from VrboOwner on 5 Sept 2025
Hi Natacha, Thank you so much for your kind words about the flat – we’re really glad you found it comfortable and enjoyed your stay. We also really appreciate you sharing your feelings about the neighbourhood. Everyone experiences a new place differently, and your feedback gives us the chance to reassure future guests that this is in fact a very safe and welcoming part of central London. We’ve happily lived here for over 20 years and have never had any issues at all. In fact, we often walk home from the theatre or dinner late in the evening and always feel perfectly at ease. One of the things we love most is how close it is to so many of London’s highlights, while still feeling like a real local community.

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.

We truly loved the location. The evening view of the city was fantastic! The city lights were gorgeous. Two grocery stores within a 5 minute walk! We went every day. For us the walk to the underground was 8 minutes. The tower bridge was the same distance, 8 minutes and what a beautiful Riverwalk.
