This is a great place to stay, right on the lovely Regent's Canal, along which you can walk all the way to Camden - and further! The apartment is very comfortable and has an amazing view of the London skyline. The balcony catches all the sun there is to catch and is therefore a great place to sit and enjoy the view. There are some nice café's (check out Towpath) and restaurants in the area. A short bike ride away - along the Canal - is Broadway Market, which - aside from the Saturday Market - Has the excellent Pavilion Bakery (good crusty bread and baguettes) and Hill & Szrok Butcher and Cookshop. Bread aficionados should also check out E5 Bakery on Mentmore Terrace, right underneath London Fields Station. They also brew a great coffee. The area north of the Regent's Canal (east and west of Kingsland Basin) is really great to enjoy by bike, it is very green and there is not so much traffic. There are two Barclays bike stations close to the apartment, which is really convenient, as is the short distance to Haggerston station plus the frequent buses into the City.
