Hackney
The appeal of Hackney lies in its enduring integrity. Nestled in East London, Hackney’s up-and-coming atmosphere stays honest to its creative identity.
Stylish, edgy and unquestionably cool, Hackney is a tapestry of diverse cultures, stitched together with international cuisines and a sense of community. Less about following the crowd, Hackney sets trends – its vogue residents are tastemakers and innovators. Although its industrial legacy has been retained in its architecture – factory and warehouse conversions abound – it has been transformed into a creative epicenter. Artists of all types flock to its vintage boutiques, adventurous restaurants and chic coffee shops. In this part of East London, the locals swap brunch for markets. Homemade pastries, artisanal spreads, organic produce – whatever you need, you’ll find a stall that’s sure to sell it. Hackney promises adventure, with a surprise on every corner and an energy as reinvigorating as your morning coffee.

Soho & Fitzrovia
Flanked by Oxford Street, Regent Street and Leicester Square on one side, holiday apartments in Soho, London keep you close to the beating heart of London’s creative and cultural scene. Pop over to nearby Fitzrovia, where its slightly more bohemian atmosphere charmed writers such as Virginia Woolf, George Orwell and George Bernard Shaw into becoming locals and regular pub-goers. Among the Soho apartments, London’s major production studios, distinguished fashion retailers and well-established designers have set up shop in on its bustling thoroughfares.
