Gooseberry Jam

Located in the heart of East London, this home has excellent transport links into the nearby financial district and the bustling High Street's many lively restaurants, hip bars and quintessentially British pubs are just a short seventeen-minute walk away. Converted from a warehouse, this home effortlessly mixes an industrial style, reflective of the Shoreditch locale, with soft mid-century furnishings, to create a modern yet comfortable space. Sink into the velvet upholsteries and relax amid calming deep blue tones, abstract wall prints and plenty of natural light. It's a sociable open-plan living space, with a sleek breakfast bar that makes for the perfect spot to read the morning paper with your cup of java. Come together for meals around the marble-topped dining table with eight elegantly mustard-toned chairs. Elsewhere, you'll find gold-accented mirrors and minimalist designs, as well as striking metre-long picture windows in the bedrooms. Light and airy, this apartment is a great option for those looking to be high above the buzzing pavements of Shoreditch below.

Home truths:
*This apartment is on the fifth floor of a building with no lift access, which may be difficult for those with heavy luggage or limited mobility
*This is a purpose-built home, so guests seeking lived-in charm may want to look elsewhere
*Bear in mind that this is a lively, built-up area and the home is opposite a police station, so you may hear some noise from inside the apartment
*Storage space is minimal and there are no drawers in the bedrooms, so we recommend packing light
