John, our host, was absolutely charming and very accommodating. We were hosting a private dinner at Clapton Tram and he was so helpful during the run up to the night, making sure we had enough chairs, tables, cutlery etc. On the day of the event, he met us there during the afternoon and helped to set everything up - he made sure we were completely happy before leaving us to it. He even very kindly let us borrow his own personal laptop to play a film on.

The space itself is beyond beautiful. John has taken such care to renovate and decorate it. Everywhere you look there are little details and unique touches that make this place very special indeed. It has amazing light, with a high, lofty ceiling, hanging plants and terrariums and even a spinning disco ball!

The floor is original, so the place has a rustic, industrial feel. But plush sofa seating and rugs lend it a coziness, too. John tells me he's planning to install a woodburner which would make this a perfect place to stay during winter.

We didn't use the bedroom so I can't vouch for that, but I'm confident it would be as thoughtfully put together as the rest of the place and would no-doubt make a gorgeous place to stay.

The area is fine - good access to North, East and Central London, and much more space than you'd get anywhere very central. There's even outdoor space on a pretty terrace. The Clapton Tram is one of a row of converted stables, and the neighbours on either side are very cool and friendly - I met both of them and they were incredibly welcoming. So you'd be in good company if you stayed here.

All in all, I couldn't recommend the Clapton Tram more highly!
