Staying in Bethnal Green is a fantastic experience, especially if you appreciate a mix of green spaces and urban convenience. This 1-bedroom flat is perfectly situated, close to beautiful parks like Victoria Park and Weavers Fields, both ideal for morning jogs or leisurely afternoon strolls. Just a short walk away, you’ll find the vibrant Columbia Road Flower Market, which brings the area to life every Sunday with its colorful displays and local vendors. The nearby Broadway Market is another gem, offering an array of fresh produce, artisan goods, and unique street food. Bethnal Green’s diverse community and variety of local shops, cafes, and galleries add a unique charm, making this flat’s location truly hard to beat. It’s an ideal base for anyone wanting to experience the best of East London’s lively yet relaxed vibe.

Riverstone heights is a perfect spot for those who love the city lifestyle as well as some tranquility. I love that the nearest tube station is just a mere two minutes walk from the building. Moreover central London is just 15 mins away from it. I have been out from the crack of dawn till the night, however I always found the area safe. In terms of convenience, a Tesco superstore is just a stone throw away. I also love the new gym that opened a month ago which is available 24 hours a day. I love the fact that although I am close to central London, there is no traffic noise or anti- social behaviour or litter issues. The area gives you the best of both worlds of enjoying city life as well as coming home and relaxing the peace and quiet.

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

The building management are very prompt in issues raised

Before I moved in, there was still building works carried out. Once all the refurbishments were completed, I really got blown away with the 360 degree view of London you get to experience at the rooftop.
