About this property

Stylish and colourful central London home

  • This stylish two-bedroom apartment (both with en suite shower rooms and WC) is spread out across the top two floors of a Georgian townhouse, enjoying beautiful views across a recently renovated, traditional London garden square. This creates a sense of calm and oasis within the busy, multi-cultural neighbourhood of Whitechapel. It’s under 10 minutes to walk from the front door of the apartment to Whitechapel underground station with its new opened Elizabeth Line. The journey time into Soho (for shopping on Oxford Street or theatre visits on Shaftesbury Avenue) is only 7 minutes, making this a cost effective central London location.

Lovely apartment with great beds and slowers

We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful and clean apartment. The beds where so comfortable and the showers had high pressure and hot water. We walked to Brick lane for great food and took Underground to explore the city. Highly recommend!

We Loved Ford Square!

This was a perfect place for our 8 nights in London! It was an easy walk to our son’s apartment and a quick walk to the Whitechapel station-so convenient and easy to get anywhere in London!We loved the set up and space at Ford Square from the comfort, colors, art, and everything provided. It was also spotless! We couldn’t have had a better stay!

Very Comfortable

If you don't mind being a little way from the London core, this is a very comfortable apartment with everything you need. Whitechapel underground is a five minute walk and I'm sure that Ford Square is pretty in the spring. I'd certainly stay here again when visiting.

Lovely Stay in London

We really enjoyed everything about the property. It was clean, the owner was so friendly and responsive and the unit was so comfortable and well designed. The showers were like a spa and the kitchen had all the amenities to make meals easy. Close to the train station and easy to grab groceries. We would definitely recommend this unit! Loved it.

Whitechapel getaway

We found the property clean, very comfortable and in close proximity to the Whitechapel tube station. The apartment was well appointed with cutlery, kitchen equipment, dishes and pantry condiments. Great water pressure and hot water at all times. An enjoyable stay.

Comfortable and convenient

We loved this stay! James was communicative the whole time we stayed, and we found everything we needed. The house is well-appointed and comfortable. Under-floor heating was a lifesaver after cold walks or first thing in the morning for an even cozier cup of tea or coffee. My wife and I plan to come back and stay again as soon as we can.

Owner, James was very communicative and friendly. He allowed us to check-in early, which was greatly appreciated. His place was lovely, clean, well appointed, comfortable, comfortable beds and quiet. The neighborhood was great, not a touristy place at all and many walkable places and good food. Five minutes from the Underground.

Great place to stay!

My sister and I loved staying at this Ford Sqare apartment! Well appointed, comfortable and beautiful. Nice view out the window of the park and neighborhood. Easy walk to Whitechapel Station for the Underground, with lines from there into the heart of London or out to Heathrow. We did not realize in advance that there were stairs up to the apartment and again to the bedrooms but we are very glad to have stayed here. Thank you!

Lovely home in lively area

James was so accomodating and helpful. He allowed us to drop our bags earlier on check in day and offered us more freedom to leave on check out day. The house was roomy, eclectic and accessible to everything we needed during our stay. There was a wonderful info book of suggestions, tips etc that we referred to a lot. This place was a gem!

Perfect in every way

This is a beautiful, comfy, cosy home, quick walk to the tube with links to everywhere in the city, felt very safe. The decoration is stunning the sofas are big and comfortable, its warm and inviting and we almost didn’t want to leave each day to go sightseeing and visiting. So many books and guide books to look through. Everything is of an extremely high standard, would absolutely love to stay here again. James was super to deal with, immediate friendly responses. Just Perfect !

Quite a beautiful flat….very well appointed kitchen. Lovely bedrooms with nice linens. Both bathrooms had big showers and very nice amenities. James left us wine, cookies, and crackers to welcome us. Washer and dryer near bedrooms. There are several flights of stairs that are narrow and steep….difficult to manage with large luggage. Several blocks to subway access and groceries. We would highly recommend.

Great Stay! Vibrant Flat!

My parents and I enjoyed our stay very much at this location! The flat was very clean and the host was very responsive throughout the stay. Check-in and check-out were really easy with a lockbox on the exterior of the building. The location was great with there only being an 8-minute walk to the Whitechapel train station which seems to be what you'll use most to get around the city. It was a pleasant surprise to find out that this flat actually has 2 full bathrooms! We were under the impression that there was only 1 shower, but there is in fact 2. Overall a great stay and would stay here again and recommend it!

Excellent flat, excellent host, excellent experience!

Just as advertised, the flat is a breath of fresh air - colorful, spacious enough, and overall just lovely! Communication with the host was unsurpassed and for me, this was the perfect “home base” for a week in London. Close to the tube, literally steps from a major hospital, and in a wonderfully diverse community, I felt safe on foot and dare I say by the end of the week, welcomed in the community! All the typical tourist spots are only minutes via the tube (and affordable). I highly recommend this flat and host (and in fact, already have made two referrals for friends to stay here). You won’t be disappointed!

Elegant and Comfortable Apartment

The Whitechapel apartment hosted by James is a work of art. Every item is useful, comfortable and beautifully curated. We loved staying in such an elegant flat. James is an excellent host. Although areas east of London are becoming increasingly popular, Whitechapel is a little slower to develop. Notwithstanding, we could easily walk to the Underground station to take the District Line into central London or walk about 25 minutes to Shoreditch, which is entertaining. In Whitechapel, we enjoyed a show at historic Wilton’s Music Hall and a nice dinner at Mr. White’s Chop House.

Want to stay again!

Spent a long weekend here with my adult daughter and sister. Location is terrific with easy access from Heathrow Airport via the Elizabeth line (purple line - same track as Heathrow Express). Very quick walk from James' house to the Whitechapel Tube station, which connects to multiple lines. Has two bathrooms, both with very nice hot showers (not 1.5 bathrooms, as indicated in the posting). James was very communicative and provided clear directions to his home. Beautifully appointed as depicted in the photos. Deserves the 10/10 rating. Lovely!

Absolutely beautiful apartment. The decor and amenities are unmatched. It was conveniently located 5ish minutes from the Whitechapel tube station, making the commute to/from Heathrow a snap. James is a thoughtful host, with every detail considered. It was a lovely respite after a long day of sightseeing. I’d highly recommend it.
