The jewel crown of East London

The jewel crown of East London

As the name suggests, this was once a working dairy farm with stable and cows, created in the 1880’s by two Welsh brothers – the Jones’s.

134 years later….

We stumbled across (and fell in love) with this forgotten, almost derelict gem whilst looking for a new home for our restaurant – Campania.

After two years of meticulous restoration, balancing the retention of original character with functionality - Campania and Jones restaurant opened on the ground floor and above, accessed by a quirky private side-entrance this beautiful two-bed apartment was created.

The house is all about rustic beauty, style but also comfort.

The living room, overlooking the cinematic cobbled streets of Columbia Road is perfectly matched with the vintage interior exposed brick walls, cast-iron radiators, an open wood fireplace and antique French furniture

The bedrooms are just as characterful. original features and textures make for a stylish aesthetic yet the emphasis is always on comfort. Egyptian cotton sheets and subtle lighting make these rooms the perfect lie-in hideaway.

THE BEDROOMS

An original turn-of-the-century bath and shower system compliment high ceilings whilst the fully equipped kitchen has everything you could possibly need.

On Sundays this quiet corner literally bursts into life as it’s taken over by East End market traders selling flowers as part of Columbia Road Market – a true East End tradition. 

Staying here is a unique experience not only on the inside.

  • “A real gem of a hideaway in central London… you feel part of the life in this “small village.”

  • "Beautiful flat in an historic building and amazing location. We felt at home tucked away in this beautiful little neighbourhood. The cafes and record stores nearby were a definite bonus and we were lucky to catch the Sunday Flower market."
