Where the Good Times Start

Dive into East Central London from this stylish penthouse, complete with a spacious wraparound balcony and rooftop views. Underfloor heating keeps you toasty from the moment you wake up, and the kitchen is more than well-equipped for whatever you're craving. That said, the surrounding area is chock-a-block with fantastic spots to grab a bite, from Exmouth Market to the array of Michelin-starred restaurants. Children and toddlers aren't permitted, but we think families with babies or older kids will have a blast. Whether you're visiting as a tourist or travelling for work, the home gym and study provide that added touch of practicality to help you settle right in.
