Located on Roman Road — shops, market, cafés on the doorstep
Local area: inner-city, high crime and wider area deprivation
This top-floor studio on Hewison Street offers compact, contemporary living in the heart of East London. The open-plan layout and wood flooring make efficient use of the 331 sq ft, and a private west-facing balcony delivers afternoon sun and distant City skyline views. With 141 years remaining on the lease and chain-free sale, the flat is straightforward to buy.
The apartment sits in a modern, low-maintenance block constructed post-2007 with double glazing and mains-gas heating via boiler and radiators. It is well located for day-to-day life: Roman Road market, cafés, shops and a wide range of amenities are on the doorstep, and Bow Road Underground and Bow Church DLR are within walking distance for fast links to Canary Wharf, Stratford and The City.
Practical costs and considerations are clear: the property is leasehold, carries an average service charge of £1,500 per year, and is small at 331 sq ft — suitable for a single professional, student, or as a pied-à-terre. The local area is inner-city and lively, with higher crime levels recorded and some signs of deprivation in the wider neighbourhood; buyers valuing central location and transport will need to balance that with the urban setting.
Overall this studio represents an affordable entry into a well-connected part of East London, with investment or owner-occupier potential for those prepared for compact city living and the ongoing service-charge and local-area realities.
