2 bed flat to rent

Hercules House, London E14

Property Reference: 3040194.

Set on the water's edge of London City Island, this spacious two-bedroom flat makes daily life refreshingly simple: Wide oak floors and a broad wall of glass draw light through the open-plan living space, and the balcony opens straight onto incredible views over Bow Creek and the East London skyline. Both bedrooms are genuine doubles with fitted storage, and there are two bath/shower rooms, so mornings never become a queue. With a Sainsbury's, a residents' pool and gym, cafes and the English National Ballet all within the gates - and Canning Town station an eight-minute walk over the red bridge - almost everything is handled before you've left the peninsula.
