In the Wick of Time

Located in Hackney Wick – indisputably one of London’s coolest neighbourhoods – this stylish apartment provides a trendy base from which to explore the city. A blend of contemporary and vintage-inspired furnishings creates an instantly inviting welcome in the main open-plan living space with floor-to-ceiling windows proffering views of Victoria Park (a three-minute walk away) and the city’s skyline. Sit down at the window-side meal while feasting on these far-stretching vistas before cosying up on the sofa with a book from the shelves while either a record or the Sonos sound system plays from the in-ceiling speakers. Mornings call for luxurious soaks under the bathroom's rainfall shower and quiet reading in the winter balcony – whose retractable windows are perfect for balmy summer weather. Then, hit the on-site gym or make use of your home's yoga equipment for a zen start to the day before heading out to explore. Hackney Wick is teeming with artist studios, quirky shops and innovative eateries, as well as craft breweries and bars along the River Lee Navigation canal (a five-minute walk). Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park is also just a five-minute stroll away and vibrant Dalston is a fifteen-minute ride away on the Overground. After a day of sightseeing, come back home for sundowners and a barbecue on the communal rooftop terrace before snuggling up in your dreamy bed for a blissful night’s sleep.
