Albion Yard, Whitechapel Road, London, E1

This well-proportioned, one-bedroom apartment is light and airy and overlooks a delightful courtyard. It is situated within the Grade II listed Albion Yard Brewery conversion, on Whitechapel Road.

Albion Yard is ‘The Centre of The Universe' and its fantastic location has unrivalled connectivity. It is 5 mins from Whitechapel station - you can take the Elizabeth line to West End shopping in 10 mins and to Heathrow via Paddington in 36 mins. It’s ideal for work in the financial centres: 3 minutes to Liverpool Street and 10 mins to Canary Wharf, or 15 mins for tech hubs in Old Street. Kings Cross St. Pancras is a short hop on the tube - for a nifty getaway to Paris and Europe.
The Elizabeth Line also takes you to Stratford Olympic Park, where you can swim in the actual pool from the 2012 London Olympics. The District line, Hammersmith & City lines, and London Overground service the nearby cool districts of Hackney and Dalston.

The location of the apartment also offers both easy access to London’s world-famous heritage sites such as The Barbican, The Tower of London, and St. Paul’s Cathedral, as well as access to local leisure, entertainment and the arts: including the Genesis and Curzon cinemas and Richmix arts hub, all within walking distance of the apartment. Also within walking distance are the famous food, vintage shops and nightlife of Bethnal Green, Brick Lane, Shoreditch and Spitalfields, not forgetting the world-class exhibitions at the Whitechapel Gallery and many other independent galleries dotted around. You can also stroll to Maltby St. Market and just beyond to Borough Market. In the other direction is the Saturday Broadway Market of London Fields next to the canal, along which you can amble all the way to Angel Islington. On Sundays there are Columbia Rd. flower market and Victoria Park Farmers’ market, the latter being close to the indy shops, pubs and cafes of buzzing Lauriston village. For the weekly shop, you are spoilt for choice as Sainsbury’s supermarket is a 1 min walk from the apartment and on the high street is the famous Whitechapel market. Conveniently next door is the library - The Idea Store - and on the other side is the Albion Health Clinic, with The Royal London Hospital, just a stone’s throw away.

The apartment is a haven, covering 477 sq. ft. of well-arranged accommodation on the first floor of a distinctive building, that is steeped in history. It has large sash windows and features a bright and comfortable reception room,
offering a flexible space which is ideal for working from home. The modern fitted kitchen, double bedroom and contemporary bathroom creare a coherent flow, with discreet storage throughout, providing a practical and comfortable living space.

An extra benefit is access to a communal roof terrace, offering an attractive shared outdoor space, with marvellous views across London. There are various social gatherings, such as a New Year party and summer get-togethers which are fun and a great way to meet fellow neighbours. Another communal space is the tranquil courtyard, offering immediate respite, as you enter it, from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.

Whitechapel has grown into a major tech and medical hub, encouraged by the ongoing Whitechapel Vision Masterplan. Residents benefit from the exciting balance of a rich and storied heritage but also get to be part of an exciting future. This apartment represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-located home, or investment, within a historic East London conversion.
