The home

A calm, well-kept apartment on the quiet side of a canal-side landmark.

№ 201 is on the second floor of Empress Works, a warehouse-style building on the site of the old Empress Coach Works, where Bethnal Green meets the Regent's Canal. It measures about 650 square feet. There is an open-plan living space, a double bedroom, a bathroom, and a private balcony over the planted courtyard.

It is a quiet, bright home that has been carefully looked after. The finish is simple and solid: oak floors, exposed concrete ceilings, fitted appliances, and good storage. The style is calm rather than showy.

The landscaped courtyard at Empress Works: brick planters and young trees

The outlook

Over the courtyard, and nothing else.

Most balconies in E2 look at a road. № 201 looks into the building's own planted courtyard, with brick planters and young trees below. The view is protected. There is no site opposite for anyone to build on, and no traffic underneath.

  • Second-floor position, above the planting
  • A protected view, with no neighbouring plot to develop
  • Set back from the street, so it stays quiet

The building

A concierge downstairs, a garden on the roof.

Empress Works is well run. There is a concierge at the desk, a residents' gym off the courtyard, and shared rooftop terraces with views from the City to Canary Wharf.
