My daughter and i loved staying at The Gate ApartHotel, as we sat in comfy window seats looking out over London we felt like we were in NY! Our apartment had everything we needed for a long weekend in London. The location is perfectly situated right by the bustling markets on Brick Lane, Columbia Road Flower Market and Spitalfields. My specific dietary requirements meant that i could cook myself supper in the apartment, we then sat and ate it on the 5th floor terrace in the evening sun - surrounded by far reaching views across the city sky line. Its quite pricey but if you get a deal - well well worth it.
