FANTASTIC NEW QUIET SUNNY SOUTH FACING TWO BEDROOM APARTMENT LOCATED ON BARTLETT PARK IN LONDON'S EAST END. THE APARTMENT HAS A BALCONY OVERLOOKING A PARK WITH WONDERFUL VIEWS OF CANARY WHARF AND BACKING ONTO THE LIMEHOUSE CUT CANAL (THIS IS A SECOND HOME & ONLY NON SMOKERS & ADULTS PLEASE)
Our new modern furnished 70 sq. m/754 sq. ft, second floor apartment with 2 lifts in Limehouse, East London. We are very close to Canary Wharf (with great restaurants, some on the River Thames & fantastic shopping), 15 minutes away by the DLR/BUS or on foot. Also about 10 mins by DLR to Stratford City, the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park & Westfield's vast shopping/entertainment/restaurant complex. The apartment has a living/dining room with a fully fitted kitchen with all modern intergrated appliances, washer/dryer, dishwasher, full oven with separate hob & fridge freezer. We have one main bedroom & a second occasional bedroom/study/sitting room with a sofa bed, 2 bathrooms, one ensuite. The apartment is really only set up for two people. It also has a good sized balcony with furniture, overlooking Bartlett Park with great views of Canary Wharf. It backs onto the Limehouse Cut Canal, the oldest canal in London (1766). We are about six minutes walk to Langdon Park DLR station with connections to the rest of London. We are a short walk along the Limehouse Cut Canal to the Limehouse Basin & the River Thames with wonderful riverside walks and lovely waterside pubs and very close to the Regent's Canal, which leads off the Limehouse Basin. Also good public transport to all parts of London to visit all the wonderful buildings, monuments, museums (free entrance), art galleries & theatres that makes London one of the greatest cities in the world. The apartment also has an iPod player, two TVs and WiFi. It is well decorated with modern furniture. On the ground floor there is a lovely Cafe. The area around the Boathouse is generally quiet and Cotall Street is due this year to be made into a cul de sac (dead end).

“We did a short stay in Bath at Pauline and Gary's lovely home. It is so convenient for the architecturally stunning city of bath. A short walk down the hill and your in Georgian paradise. Wonderful independent shops and cafes. Great pubs and restaurants. The most comfortable beds. Gary and Pauline are lovely, easy going people. I can whole heartedly recommend a stay at their home in bath.”
“We have just spent a week at Pauline & Gary's house - a wonderful place to relax and see the sites of Bath. Their house is contemporary, spacious and has all the mod cons you need. They left plenty of information about the city and facilities in the house. Pauline & Gary had already given us a wonderful evening of hospitality in Novemember when we were passing through to another destination and it was great to return for a 2nd visit. We parked our car and walked every day as the house is on the edge of the city. Thanks to you both.”
“Thank you so much to Pauline and Gary who welcomed us for one week in november '09. We had such a wonderful time with them. Pauline and Gary are really nice and sweet people. We can just recommend them with absolutely no restriction at all !!!! It was a pleasure to be with them and they are now good friends. Their house is very well located, not directly in the city but 5 mn walk down to Royal Crescent and Bath center. It is a very nice, cosy and neat house where you definitely feel at home. Helene and Marine (my niece) from LA CIOTAT (France)”
Gary is a retired engineer, Pauline has recently retired as a communications consultant in the NHS. We are passionate travellers and have travelled extensively in Europe, the United States, Asia, Australia and New Zealand. We lived in Sydney Australia many years ago & still have family & friends there. We love good food (and wine) and in between, attempt to keep fit! We like reading, music, walking, and entertaining with friends and family, as well as helping look after our two lovely granddaughters!
Our apartment in East London is not far from London City Airport (by Docklands Light Railway) and is an easy journey to Heathrow (by underground), Gatwick and Luton airports are within easy distance. We are very close to the River Thames and all parts of London. Canary Wharf is a 15 minutes walk or by bus. Stratford Olympic park & Westfield vast shopping centre is 10 minutes by DLR railway. There are a number of small supermarkets close to us, and many take out places (many that will do home delivery). Because of the excellent public transport we are close to all parts of London. Good local areas are Limehouse, Wapping, Shadwell, Bow, Whitechapel, Shoreditch, Islington & Greenwich just south of the river. There are some lovely walks along the Thames from us to the Tower of London and beyond. Also a number of interesting canal walks.
