We are situated in one of the most vibrant parts of London with several galleries, museums, restaurants, markets and parks nearby. The closest attraction is the very popular Columbia Road Flower Market which opens on Sundays, selling plants and flowers, homewares and gifts, which has now reopened, and spread over a wider area with distance rules in place.
The area is rich in contemporary street art, which can be found by simply wandering in the area or joining one of the guided tours. Broadway Market and London Fields are a 12 minute walk and Victoria Park can be reached within 20 minutes by walking along the Regents Canal.
The Museum of Childhood and the Whitechapel Art Gallery are approximately 20 minute walks from our house.
The Tate Modern and Millennium Bridge are a 20 minute bus ride or a 45 minute walk.
Most galleries have been opening in July 2020, and working under Covid guidance rules.
Brick Lane and the Georgian architecture of Spitalfields houses are a 12 minute walk from our neighbourhood.
The Geffrye Museum, due to reopen late in 2020, is a 10 minute walk away, and is an interesting museum specialising in the history of the home.
It’s a 10 minute walk to Redchurch Street and Calvert Street, both low key shopping areas with independent fashion, interiors, and beauty stores as well as cafes and cocktail bars.
