Listen! As a person from Brooklyn, NY this location was more than perfect. It’s exactly close to everything transportation (tubes) wise. There’s a balcony that overviews East London to the main city. The building is safe the area is also safe.
If you are visiting I advise you take the train (tube), there’s a lot of traffic going from your starting point to the city. The tubes are very inexpensive as well so be smart when you are traveling. Other than that the stay was beautiful and we can not wait until we visit London. Instead of a week, we will be doing two weeks.
Cheers!
