London:
Peckham
HOME0001’s new three-story building in Clapton offers one and two-bedroom apartments.
Sitting adjacent to the bars, independent cinemas, restaurants and market stalls of Chatsworth Road, the building is nestled beside one of London’s largest green spaces. It is also well connected by nearby Clapton and Homerton overground stations, and a host of 24hr buses that can take you from Clapton Pond to anywhere in the city.
Two streets from where Harold Pinter was born, Mildenhall Road is home to Finks and Fika cafes, Jelly Records, The Castle Cinema (an old bingo hall turned indie cinema), and close to the lively shops, bars, and markets of Chatsworth Road. At one end lies Clapton Pond, with the rest of Hackney beyond, while the other end leads to Millfields Park and the River Lea, where painted barges drift through Hackney and Walthamstow marshes. These marshlands connect to the Walthamstow Wetlands and the 2012 Olympic Park, with the Middlesex Filter Beds Nature Reserve sitting in between. Dating back to 1852, these abandoned filtration beds, once used to cleanse drinking water, are now a quiet haven of moss, lichen, and over 200 plant and 60 bird species—a serene slice of nature amidst the urban sprawl.
