2 bedroom flat to rent

Once a place where bread rose to greatness, this lofty two-bedroom live/work apartment now rises to the occasion in a very different way. Set within a converted industrial bakery in Bethnal Green, this is a home with hugely high ceilings, generous proportions, and proper open-plan swagger.

Accessed via a well-kept communal entrance with lift to the second floor, the apartment opens into a vast semi open-plan kitchen, dining and living space stretching along the right-hand side of the home. Bathed in natural light from two aspects, it’s the kind of space that works equally well for dinner parties, home working, yoga mats, or just dramatically pacing while on phone calls.

The interiors are clean and neutral—white walls and wood-effect flooring throughout—providing the perfect blank canvas whether your taste leans minimalist, maximalist, or somewhere in between. Off the hallway sit two large double bedrooms, both comfortably sized and quietly removed from the living space (ideal for sleeping, working, or hiding from guests).

There’s a main bathroom, plus a separate cloakroom—because nothing says “civilised living” like a dedicated guest loo.

The building itself, City View House, was converted into apartments in 1987 and still delivers on the perks: a porter, communal roof terrace, secure bike storage, and even parking spaces available by separate purchase (a rare urban unicorn).

Location-wise, you’re brilliantly placed. Bethnal Green Underground (Central Line) and Overground stations are both a short walk away. Green space comes courtesy of Weavers Fields, Bethnal Green Gardens, and the vast open stretches of Victoria Park just beyond. To the west, Shoreditch and Hoxton bring the bars, restaurants and nightlife, while Columbia Road Flower Market ensures your Sundays can smell as good as they look.

In short: a former bakery turned seriously good living space—no kneading required.
