“Limehouse DLR station places this property within easy reach of central London, but the peaceful gardens and unique Yurt Café provide a welcome contrast to the city's bustle. I found the combination of historic setting and community engagement particularly appealing. It's a thoughtful choice for those seeking tranquility and reflection, underscored by its lack of televisions and focus on communal spaces.”
