    Literally the flat is stunning, beautiful garden, looks like out of interior design or garden magazine. Took photos for ideas for my own garden. Honestly, we spent a lot of the weekend sitting in the garden or in the lounge looking out to the garden and it was sublime. Good restaurants nearby, very close excellent transport links with DLR station 2 minute walk away. Brilliant kitchen with everything and spice etc in cupboard to help yourself if cooking.
