The Marilyn Monroe

Sitting right on the edge of London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, this stunningly curated penthouse apartment wins gold with its beautiful views, luxurious touches and designer styling.

Floor to ceiling windows in the open-plan living area bathe the space in light, while carefully curated design pieces like a Rodica chair, freestanding arc lamp and plush modern sofas complement the chic scene. Slide open the glass doors to step out onto a private balcony where a table and chairs invite morning coffees and celebratory sundowners alike while taking in the wide-sweeping views over the Olympic Park. From this privileged spot, you can see some of the area’s most famous sights, including the London 2012 Olympic Rings (a three-minute walk away), the Lee Valley VeloPark (also a three-minute walk) and the London ArcelorMittal Orbit (a twenty-minute walk).

Back inside, the modern kitchen is ready to cater homemade feasts to be enjoyed at the elegant dining table, followed by a nightcap on the bedrooms’ balconies and a restful night’s sleep in their comfortable beds.

Throughout, you’ll appreciate the luxe details that amplify your relaxation, like underfloor heating in every room, a wine cooler in the kitchen, a rainfall shower and soaking tub in the bathrooms, as well as welcome goodies like pastries to make you feel right at home.

While you could spend all day in your plush pad and its Olympic Park playground, venture out to explore further afield where you’ll find plenty more things to see and do –, Westfield Stratford City shopping centre is an eight-minute walk, trendy Hackney Wick is a fourteen-minute stroll and leafy Victoria Park is a twenty minutes away on foot.
