Gibbs Lane, Haggerston, E2

Set on a tranquil side street beside Haggerston Park, this spacious one-bedroom apartment occupies the first floor of a well-maintained contemporary building and benefits from exceptional natural light. A full-width, west-facing balcony extends seamlessly from both the living room and bedroom, creating a rare sense of openness in the heart of Haggerston.


Gibbs Lane is a secure and carefully designed development completed in 2016. Comprising only 23 apartments, it offers fob entry, CCTV, and covered cycle storage. Tucked away yet just moments from Columbia Road, Haggerston Park, and London Fields, it provides an ideal balance between a calm retreat and vibrant city living.


Inside, the apartment’s thoughtful layout makes the most of its dual-aspect orientation. The reception room is bright and welcoming, enhanced by striking floor-to-ceiling windows that open onto the balcony, filling the space with light. A sleek integrated kitchen is set discreetly to one side, maximising both functionality and entertaining potential.


The double bedroom is generously proportioned, with space for wardrobes, a desk area, and a large bed. Like the reception, it opens directly onto the balcony, strengthening the sense of indoor-outdoor continuity.


The bathroom is finished in a clean, modern style, with a full bathtub and streamlined fittings. Positioned just off the hallway, it offers convenient access for guests. Two large hallway cupboards offer valuable concealed storage, a rare and highly practical feature in contemporary apartments.


Gibbs Lane benefits from excellent transport links, with Cambridge Heath and Bethnal Green stations within walking distance, giving access to the Overground, Central Line, and Elizabeth Line. The apartment is also conveniently located near Broadway Market, Columbia Road, and Regent’s Canal, with London Fields nearby for open green space.


The surrounding neighbourhood is renowned for its food and café culture. Favourites include Brawn on Columbia Road, the much-loved L’eau à la Bouche deli, and contemporary dining spots such as Rogues and Elliot’s. Michelin-starred options like Andy Beynon’s Behind and Rafael Cagali’s Da Terra are also within easy reach. Weekend markets add further appeal, from Columbia Road Flower Market with its vibrant selection of plants and cafes to Broadway Market with its mix of street food, fresh produce, artisanal goods, and local crafts.


This turnkey apartment combines modern design, generous proportions, and an enviable location in East London. It is an excellent choice for first-time buyers, professionals, or anyone seeking a stylish, low-maintenance home in one of the city’s most dynamic neighbourhoods.
