Short Term Large Bedr. in *June* - Hackney

Area:

Lower Clapton

Postcode:

E5

Available:

01 Jun 2026

Min term:

1 month

Max term:

1 month

Short lets considered:

Yes

Double room:

£1,250pcm

Spacious (14m²) furnished double bedroom available in my lovely 2 bed Victorian split-level flat just off Hackney Downs park in East London. The street is blocked off with no through traffic – and there is a plethora of friendly neighbours living on it.

Open-plan and bright architect-designed kitchen & living room, utility room with washing machine, and bathroom with bath/shower. General look of the flat is vintage meets contemporary.

The bedroom available has high ceilings and painted floorboards, 2 windows with a fantastic view over the lush neighbourhood's gardens. There's a good quality double mattress on a solid French antique cast iron bed, a clothes rail (not pictured) & ample shelf storage, as well as a large vintage desk + chair, and a sofa.

One perk of the layout of the flat is that our bedrooms are on different floors, so we can have a bit of privacy from each other.

Available to a non-smoking, tidy, considerate and friendly person looking for temporary accommodation.

I welcome people from all ethnicities, gender, religion and sexual orientation.

About the area:

Shops off Clapton Pond are great for groceries, we have plenty of great indie shops nearby, and the lovely Hackney Downs park on our doorstep (with tennis courts, if tennis is your thing).

Dalston is a 15-20 mins walk away (Ridley Road market, and the best Turkish grills in the whole of London, Jazz Cafe, Rio Cinema, Arcola Theatre, etc); equally nearby the Olympic Park in Stratford with the best sports facilities and now a brand new cultural hub and universities, London Fields with its lovely outdoors swimming pool (Lido), Stoke Newington, and our excellent local Castle community cinema are also really close.

I have lived on my street for 20 years, and absolutely love my neighbourhood. I'm compelled to add that while in recent years we have seen an influx of wealthy, beautiful people move to Hackney, unlike South Kensington, this is a multi-ethnic, multi-class (multi-everything in fact), busy – and sometimes chaotic – urban part of London, and you'll need to be comfortable with that.

Transport:

- within 10-15 mins walk:
> Hackney Downs station, with frequent trains to Liverpool St in just 12 mins – great if you work in the City! Also great to catch the Elisabeth Line that will take you to Tottenham Court Road in about 40 mins

> Hackney Central (Stratford-Richmond line) useful to catch the super fast Victoria line at Highbury & Islington

- countless bus routes from Clapton Pond (3 mins walk) taking you into Central London via Angel or Bethnal Green and Old Street.

About me:

I have French nationality, and have lived in London for 30 years. I teach pottery classes and make my ceramics full time from my studio in Haggerston.

I work long hours, so it's important for me to be able to come home to a calm environment.

*******

Fee for 1 month: £1250 payable prior to arrival date (no deposit). It's basically equivalent to an Airbnb holiday let, without the fees.

*Available from 1st June*. Short-term.

Includes bills, fibre broadband (but no live TV as I don't have a TV licence) and cleaning, pillows, duvet, sheets and towels.

Not included: things like food and laundry detergent (but you'll have access to the washing machine to do your own laundry)

Message me if you're interested, and we'll arrange an in-person visit, or an initial virtual chat.
