Alie Street, Aldgate E1

Want to be right in the City’s heartbeat, with views of the Shard and the Gherkin on your skyline? This top-floor studio apartment gives you 514 sq ft of cleverly designed space, beautifully finished throughout and perfectly placed for city living.

You’re just minutes from Aldgate and Aldgate East stations, with Liverpool Street a short walk away, putting five underground lines within easy reach. Step outside and you’ve got Spitalfields Market, Brick Lane, and the Whitechapel Gallery all close by, plus an endless choice of bars, cafés and restaurants to explore.

Back home, you’ve got your own private roof terrace for fresh air and city views, along with access to a communal roof garden and secure bike storage.

If you lived here...

Long linked with tailoring and the wool trade, Alie Street carries a creative spirit. After its recent regeneration, the area buzzes with youthful energy and fresh ideas — and from your sixth-floor apartment, you’re right at the heart of it all.

Inside, the apartment balances space with smart design. As soon as you step in, a generous storage cupboard sits to your left — perfect for coats, shoes, and the day-to-day essentials you don’t want cluttering up your home. Engineered antiqued oak flooring runs throughout, adding warmth and texture, while the white walls keep things calm and give you a blank canvas for your own style.

South-facing, full-width windows flood the living space with natural light from dawn till dusk, and you can slide them back to let the air flow in on summer evenings without losing the outlook, thanks to glass balustrades to keep the view clear.

The kitchen sits neatly in an L-shape against the wall, fitted with slate-grey cabinets, integrated appliances, and a marble splashback that adds a quiet touch of elegance. There’s even a wine fridge, because why not?

Step out onto your private balcony for morning coffee or an evening wind-down. Being on the top floor, you’ve got a sense of privacy here that’s rare in the city. And if you’re feeling social, the communal roof terrace is a perfect place to catch the sunset and meet your neighbours.

Whether you’re after a city base, a pied-à-terre, or simply want to live in the middle of a vibrant neighbourhood with everything at your fingertips, this apartment is ready to welcome you in.

What else?
“Brick Lane Curry Mile” is just around the corner, famous for its large number of South Asian restaurants, especially Bangladeshi and Indian curry houses, since the 1970s. Over the years, it’s grown into a cultural hub — not just for food, but also for its vibrant markets, vintage shops, and street art.
Since opening in 1901, Whitechapel Gallery has earned its reputation as a pioneering contemporary art space, hosting early shows for the likes of Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko and Frida Kahlo.
Spitalfields has been home to a market since 1638, and today Old Spitalfields Market is a lively mix of long-standing traders and fresh new brands. You’ll find independent stalls selling everything from clothing and jewellery to homeware, art and gourmet food, alongside a weekly programme of vintage, vinyl and one-off markets — always something new to explore.
