The Brickworks, by Veeve, London

County Tipperary. Sleeps up to 3

It wouldn't be Bethnal Green without a certain edge of urban cool. And edges are something this home does particularly well, with its open staircase, modernist lines, and industrial-style brick. Combine this with a swish, minimalist aesthetic and private roof terrace, and you've got all the trimmings to enjoy this eclectic pocket of East London in style. With plenty of hip bars and eateries, Bethnal Green still manages to retain a dash of that down-to-earth East End grit, as well offering speedy access into the city when you hop on the Central Line — just minutes down the road.

Minimalist it might be, but there's no scrimping on stylishness in this chic one-bedroom pad. A light-filled, open-plan living room boasts a blend of textures, offsetting wood floors and exposed brickwork with a delectably soft rug and large cushy sofa. At one end sits a dining table with space for six guests and vintage views of the classic terraced street opposite, whilst the other offers a contemporary contrast, with a sleek kitchen and impressive glass curtain wall opening onto a delightful roof terrace. Nip out here on a warm evening for a few drinks and a spot of alfresco dining. And if things get a bit chilly, you can always cosy up by the wood burner afterwards. Wind your way upstairs and you'll find a well-equipped bathroom, complete with decadent double steam showers, followed by an attractive top-floor bedroom — showcasing clean white interiors, a striking four-poster bed, and standalone bathtub. All boxes ticked.

We love...
The living area is bursting with well-placed contrasts, be it smooth tiles and textured bricks, or fresh tones and charcoal accents. We're also very keen on that open staircase, which lends a swanky air of architectural design to the place. It's hard not to over praise such an expertly understated home.

Tower of London and Tower Bridge are notable landmarks, and travelers looking to shop may want to visit Oxford Street and Covent Garden Market.
