My home in Limehouse is bright, cosy and perfect for a solo person wanting to checking out the host of bars, restaurants, musicals, plays, museums that London has to offer!
I share my home with my sweet, independent indoor Persian cat, who is very low maintenance and eats and drinks from automatic dispensers, but does require a small amount of love and care.
All major London attractions are just a few stops by train and reachable within 30minutes, or if you prefer to work locally there’s plenty of coffee shops and cafes within a short walk.
Limehouse is known for its beautiful canals, and the sunrises and sunsets by the river Thames are magical, just a 10minute walk away.
A cool thing about my immediate area is sir Ian mckellen (Gandalf) lives closeby, and his pub (5min walk) is a popular choice, especially on Monday quiz nights.
