This unique collection of just 14 apartments is located at the heart of the vibrant East End, the creative capital of the UK. Next to the charming Paradise Gardens, the development combines contemporary apartments with a community center and café, providing an ideal opportunity to connect with neighbours and the local community.

All apartments are finished to a high standard, with subtle and understated décor that allows you to add your personal touch. Every detail has been meticulously considered, from underfloor heating and porcelain floor tiles to wool carpets, integrated storage and appliances, dimmable downlighters, and superfast internet. Each apartment features decked covered balconies, and the development includes a video entry system and secure ground floor cycle storage.

Macpherson Apartments are centrally located in the Heritage Quarter of Bethnal Green, adjacent to the Bethnal Green Gardens conservation area, and opposite the listed Young V&A Museum of Childhood and St John’s Church. Named after Annie Macpherson, a Victorian philanthropist who founded a children’s refuge known as the Beehive, the new building comprises 14 apartments, a church, community facilities, and a new Beehive café.

This development is ideally situated in the creative hub of East London, close to green spaces and with excellent transport links. It is directly next to Paradise Gardens and opposite Museum Gardens, a 2-minute walk from the tube, and less than a 10-minute cycle to the City. It is near the green spaces of Mile End Park, Victoria Park, and London Fields, yet within easy reach of central London.
