Description Soul Sanctuary: London

Situated close to Victoria Park in Hackney – this home, set over three storeys, has several small terraces to relax in. There’s also an open-air bath here which is a fun feature, but you may want to stick to the shower indoors when it’s very cold outside. There’s plenty to see and do out and about of course. Have a stroll around verdant Victoria Park or the nearby Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and Westfield Stratford City shopping centre. With so many stations within easy reach, it’s simple getting around the capital too.
