London Fields
“A much desired two-bedroom apartment with garden located in the Albion Square conservation area, moments from London Fields and Broadway Market.”

Positioned on a peaceful, low-traffic road in the heart of London Fields, this beautifully composed two-bedroom apartment occupies the raised and lower ground floors of a handsome Victorian townhouse. Recently renovated with great sensitivity, the interiors combine contemporary detailing with period character, all set against a soft, calming palette.

Accessed via a private entrance at lower ground level, the apartment unfolds across approximately 830 sq. ft, with a considered layout that prioritises light, space, and functionality. The principal bedroom sits at the front of the plan, where a large sash window draws in the south-facing light. Built-in joinery offers generous storage, and a thoughtfully designed en-suite is finished in soft pink hues and terrazzo tiling, creating a gentle contrast of colour and texture. A second bedroom overlooks the garden to the rear, while a separate W/C and additional storage are neatly arranged along the hallway.

Ascending to the raised ground floor, the living space is bright and welcoming, framed by tall sash windows at both front and rear. Original timber floorboards run underfoot, and a marble fireplace provides a focal point. Period features, including elegant double doors that connect the two spaces, have been carefully retained, sitting comfortably alongside a modernised kitchen where shaker-style cabinetry in a muted blue houses integrated appliances. A quartz-topped island offers both preparation space and casual seating.

From the half-landing, doors open directly onto a mature, private garden – a rare and tranquil retreat for this central location. Lush bordered planting provides year-round greenery, while an outdoor kitchen, wood-fired pizza oven, and built-in seating make the space well-suited for al fresco dining and entertaining.

Also in the garden, a recently refurbished studio provides a versatile, self-contained space, currently arranged as a workspace for two. With updated electrics and a neutral, calming interior, it offers an ideal setting for creative work, music practice, or quiet retreat.

Floorplan

“London Fields pulse is unmistakably local with a blend of independent spirit, creative energy and enduring charm.”

Wilton Way has become one of Hackney’s most talked about dining streets, and it sits only a few minutes’ walk from the apartment. On its corner, the butter yellow site that was once Fran’s is now Ornella, opened in May by actor Theo James with restaurateur Ed Templeton and chef Naz Hassan, the team behind Highbury’s much loved Lupa, and serving a menu of Milanese classics from its bright dining room and pavement terrace. Teal by Sally Abé has opened just across the road, while a few doors along, Violet offers a slower and more homely rhythm, with Claire Ptak’s celebrated bakery known for its seasonal cakes, cinnamon buns and relaxed brunches, all made in an open kitchen and often served warm from the oven.

A short walk away on Dalston Lane, the Allpress roastery and cafe draws regulars from across the borough with its pared back interiors and reliably good coffee, and just opposite, Little Duck The Picklery combines a kitchen, fermenting lab and intimate dining room with an ever-changing menu built around seasonal produce and house-made ferments. Nearby on Amhurst Terrace, Tom’s Pasta has become a firm neighbourhood favourite for its handmade pasta, much talked about lasagne and warm, unfussy atmosphere.

Broadway Market remains one of East London’s defining streets, independent to its core and home to butchers, booksellers and florists alongside one of the city’s liveliest Saturday markets, where vintage stalls sit beside farm fresh produce.

Well connected yet tucked away from the busier main roads, E8 offers easy access across London, with London Fields station providing direct Overground services to Liverpool Street and Hackney Central on the Mildmay line running east to Stratford. For those on foot or by bike, peaceful backstreets and canal paths link the neighbourhood to London Fields, Victoria Park and the Regent’s Canal.
