Maison

This flat has now been completely refurbished . See pics!

It is in a block which is ugly or beautiful, depending if you like municipal red brick from the 1950s.

The neighbours are friendly but everyone keeps themselves more or less to themselves - this is London, after all!

The staircase and lift (elevator) area is sometimes messy, but don't let that put you off, the flat is a beauty and the area is great: museums, galleries, parks, canal, market, city farm, all minutes or seconds away. If you are a city lover, this is the best of the city, for young kids and young revellers as well as older generations. I love it!

Quartier

London Fields is both a park, and the name of an area of London, situated in the London Borough of Hackney, East London.

The park itself was first recorded in 1540. At this time it was common ground and was used by drovers to pasture their livestock before taking them to market in London.

It now contains a cricket pitch, a newly reopened heated 50m outdoor pool, areas of grass, tennis courts, a table tennis table and two children's play areas.

The London Fields area has emerged as a district with its own character. House prices in the area have risen 20% in the past two years and there has been an influx of young, upwardly mobile professionals bringing a perceived gentrification of the area with them.

The main shopping street of Broadway Market boasts a wide selection of boutiques, pubs and cafes and thanks to these - and the successful Saturday market - the area is regarded as thriving.

London Fields is also now one of the centres of the London art scene, the initial 'buzz' being fostered by the influential Flowers East gallery. Although this has since moved to Shoreditch, it has left a legacy of small to medium art galleries, often artist-run. 'The Hothouse' a studio/gallery complex currently undergoing expansion faces onto the park's north east corner. The rise in accommodation costs (partly the result of this cultural upsurge) have ironically meant that few up-and-coming artists can afford to live there.

Every Saturday, the market brings a wide variety of producers from around the country to take part in the farmers' market selling quality produce, complemented by many others selling hand-made jewellery, gifts, childrenswear, and vintage clothing.
