Flurry of Flora

Flurry of Flora: Greater London

Just off blossoming Columbia Road Flower Market, this chic and colourful home reflects the essence of its surroundings. Head down to the lively market every Sunday morning or walk into Shoreditch High Street for boutiques, global cuisine and hip cocktail bars, just fifteen minutes from your door.

Newly renovated, you’ll instantly recognise the stylish touch that’s been given to this traditional house – from the pink velvet sofa to the parquet flooring, ornate fireplace and vibrant pieces of modern art. Days begin clutching your morning coffee from the outside space – a real rarity in the city. With a couple of garden chairs and a patio area, we can think of no better place for a gentle start.

Alternatively, gather together at the elegant marble dining table for a feast as you map out your plans. The fully-equipped, electric-blue kitchen will make cooking breakfast a breeze. The bedrooms are just as charming, with colourful furnishings and bright paintings, ensuring a spring in your step from the moment you wake, so you're ready to explore the East End of London.

Home truths:
*You'll check yourself in here
*The fireplace in this home are purely ornamental
*This home is spread over two floors with no internal lift, so it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
*There's only seating for two guests on the patio
*Parking in London can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to the easily accessible public transport where possible – though we think the best way to see the city is on foot
