The Neighborhood:

Shadwell links up well to many of London’s more popular areas thanks to the DLR line to Bank. The Docklands Light Railway station at Shadwell means that it’s easy to link up with some of London’s popular visitor attractions. The next stop along the line is Limehouse, home to a gem of a pub. Part-owned by Sir Ian McKellen, The Grapes (old haunt of Charles Dickens) is steeped in tradition and well worth a visit if you’re a fan of pubs and London’s history and culture. Check out the Jamboree too for a lively evening!



Getting Around:

Only 14 min train journeys on the overground line (Northbound)  to spitalfields if you want to head to food and shopping hot spots.



Located 12 minutes away on the train to great tourist locations such as the Jack the Ripper Museum, Tower of London and Tower Bridge.



If you’re a party goer, Tobacco Docks is a 5 minute walk away from the station and Printworks is only a short stop away on the Overground line going to Canada Water.



Other Things to Note:

We kindly request that you read the house rules prior to booking and respect them during your stay. Parties or events of any kind will not be tolerated. Violation of this rule will result in eviction from the property and charges for any damages or additional cleaning required. Thank you in advance for your cooperation!



The property's water system uses a storage tank, which means the shower water will naturally be warm rather than completely cold, particularly during the warmer months.



Please avoid keeping the hot water running for long periods, as this can temporarily empty the hot water tank. Taking shorter showers will help ensure there is enough hot water for everyone throughout the day.



Thank you for your understanding!
