"I’ve lived in the Textile Building since it first opened in 2014. It was my first flat, and it’ll always hold a special place in my heart. This part of Hackney has been home for nearly a decade, and it’s been incredible to watch the area evolve while keeping its unique vibe intact. Broadway Market has always been a weekend staple. Whether it’s grabbing coffee and soaking up the atmosphere in summer or browsing food stalls in winter, it’s one of those spots that never disappoints. London Fields has felt like my backyard, perfect for lazy picnics in the sun or brisk walks on crisp days stopping off at Pub on The Park. Living close to Victoria Park has also been a highlight. It’s where I’ve spent countless mornings walking my dog, followed by a stop at Pavilion Café for their pastries and coffee or going to music festivals! Sundays often meant heading to The Chesham Arms, where the vibe is laid-back, and board games and wine made it a spot to linger. Being steps from the Hackney Picturehouse and catching a Christmas show at the Hackney Empire has also been a joy. This neighborhood has a buzz that blends creativity & community in the best way. This flat and the area around it have shaped so many great times, and I know it’ll always feel like home."
