Space has been creatively optimised in this bright Whitechapel apartment. It lies on the ground floor of Adelina Yard, a handsome Victorian building, and is filled with light from period windows that face out to a private patio area. Travel connections are brilliant, and some of East London’s best-loved shops and restaurants are within walking distance.



The Tour



Adelina Yard was built by the Worshipful Company of Mercers in the 19th century. The Mercers Maiden bust featured on the front facade of the main building. Access is through an electric gate, set back from the quiet residential street in front. This apartment’s front door lies behind a neat patio, with plants on either side.



Entry is to this apartment’s living space, where tall dual-aspect windows beckon in plenty of light. White-painted walls emphasise the room’s volume, and laminated wood boards have been laid underfoot with underfloor heating beneath. Two deep cupboards provide generous storage.



The kitchen is tucked around one corner and has an integrated fridge/freezer, oven, and a washer/dryer. On the other side is the mezzanine sleeping space, accessed via a ladder and with additional wardrobe storage below. Opposite is the bathroom, a bright space finished with neutral tiles.



The Area



Adelina Grove lies in a wonderful position, close to the centre of Whitechapel, where favourites include Tayyabs and the Whitechapel Gallery. The latter has a brilliant bookshop, café, and programme of events and exhibitions.



To the west are Brick Lane and Spitalfields, where there are plenty of options for dining, including Ottolenghi, St John and Bubala. Redchurch Street is also within walking distance and has excellent shops and restaurants like APC, Earl of East and Brat.



Also near the apartment are Bethnal Green, Shoreditch and Columbia Road; the latter is known for its weekend flower market and brilliant shops. It is also home to an outpost of Pavilion bakery and restaurants, including Campania and Brawn. Haggerston Park, London Fields and Mare Street lie beyond.



Public transport connections are excellent. Whitechapel Station is a short walk away and runs a variety of services, including the Elizabeth Line, Hammersmith & City and the Windrush (Overground) lines. The City is within walking distance, and there are plenty of local bus routes.
