BUCKLE STREET STUDIOS
21 Buckle Street, London, E1 8DB
Across the road from Leman Locke, Locke’s first, successful apartment-hotel in London, nestles Buckle Street Studios, the latest addition to their portfolio of beautifully designed, boutique hotel rooms and studios.
A stone’s throw from Aldgate East station and the bustle of Brick Lane, Spitalfields and Shoreditch, there’s plenty for the foodie, the fashionista, the nightlife-lover and aspiring art critic alike.
Stroll into a sophisticated, serene and welcoming array of cushioned stools and laidback sofas, offering many a cosy corner in the stylish lobby area. Grab a coffee from Leman Locke opposite and settle into one of the snugs to check your emails. Everything is soft, calming and inviting which extends to the studios. Small, they may be, but their impact is huge, each with a kitchenette, cleverly designed to maximise space. With their home away from home concept, it’s like living in a serviced apartment, but with the feel of a boutique hotel. Hotel rooms are also available, but if you prefer to cook and need a quiet space to work during your London city break, the studios are perfect. You can even bring the dog! Enjoy the restaurant, the gym and the yoga studio opposite. Why hold back?
