Area Description
East London is full of interesting contrasts - vibrant and multicultural, trendy and traditional, affluent and gritty. It has a wonderful and diverse range of people from bohemian artists, monied financiers to the original 'locals' i.e. Cockney Londoners. Close enough to all of the must-see London landmarks so that you don't waste time traveling but removed enough so that you can mingle with us long term London residents.
In the immediate area head towards the lively local street markets of Columbia Road flower market, Brick Lane, Broadway Market, Spitalfields and Pettycoat Lane. Much loved by the locals, the area offers vibrant restaurants, music venues, bars and night life, as well as renowned galleries and museums - the Cube and Geffrye Museum being perhaps best known.
From your home, take a leisurely stroll through the City to St Pauls, over the Millennium Bridge to Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and lunch at the Tate Modern. Or head west and wonder around antique Bloomsbury, explore the wonderful treasures of the British Museum and pop in at one of the four Inns of Court to get a feel for medieval London. If you are feeling energetic there are many cycle paths along the canals which are great for poodling around on a lazy Sunday with a pit stop at the local pub.
If you have to work the home is only 15 minutes away from the financial district – called the City -and Liverpool Street station. There are excellent train connections plus 24hr bus links for easy access to the west end.
Your choices are endless as the area truly has something for everyone. Lots of history to keep you fascinated plus a thriving nightlife to keep you entertained.
