Lovely 3 story, open-plan, spacious house in Central London, next to transport links
We have exchanged our house four times before.
We live in East London, London Fields which is an extremely popular and interesting part of London. We have excellent transport links into Central London. We live opposite a fast train line into Liverpool Street Station which is a mainline train station and underground station. It only takes 30 minutes to get to central London door to door.
London Fields is a young and vibrant area full of galleries, cafes, small independent shops, pubs, a market, cinema and a a theatre. We are close to the olympic site 2012.
We have 2 children and we have a large outside communal yard which is good play area for children. There is a local park 1 minute walk with a year round open air swimming pool and playgrounds.
We have a spacious open plan house with 1 single bedroom and 2 doubles. We have a large second sitting room on the top floor which can sleep another 2 people if neccessary. Our bathroom is on the ground floor. We have a roof terrace with great views towards the city.
