This 14th-floor one-bedroom apartment in the Crawford Building sits moments from Aldgate East station, offering immediate access to central London and Shoreditch.

The building provides a concierge, lift access and double glazing, reflecting contemporary city living.
Practical details support different buyer types: a 121-year lease offers long-term security, and construction post-2007 means modern build standards. The property benefits from excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, making it suited to commuters, professionals and short-term rental markets including students.
Buyers should note the local context plainly: the area is classified as very deprived with very high crime levels, and the neighbourhood is a multicultural student hub and inner-city environment. Heating is via a community mains gas scheme; upkeep and communal charges associated with a managed development should be checked before offer.
For investors, the flat’s central location and proximity to transport and widespread amenities support strong rental demand. For owner-occupiers, this is a compact, low-maintenance city base — best for those prioritising location and convenience over quiet suburban space.
