Graham Road, London, E8 1, E8 1PD

Occupying a prominent end-of-terrace position in the heart of London Fields, this four-storey Victorian house has recently undergone a meticulous back-to-brick transformation.

The renovation, led by WPG Architects in collaboration with design studio Casa Botelho, introduces five bedrooms alongside a dedicated wellness suite, complete with a gym, infrared sauna and a versatile golf simulator and cinema room.

Behind its handsome period façade, the raised ground floor opens into a beautifully voluminous open-plan arrangement that seamlessly connects living, dining and kitchen spaces.

Original features are celebrated and elevated - marble fireplaces act as focal points, while lighting by John Cullen and Buster + Punch adds layered warmth and atmosphere.

Vintage chandeliers from 1930s Belgium hang overhead, their patina offset by bespoke mirrors crafted by Abigail Hearn.

The kitchen custom-framed in concrete, leads directly onto the garden through a trio of three-metre-high French doors.

Landscaped in the spirit of a Tuscan retreat, the outdoor space has been designed for both rest and conviviality, featuring a multi-functional summer house, integrated BBQ and mature planting.

Private rear access is available via Navarino Grove, which provides convenient parking, and access to EV charging.

Three bedrooms and two bathrooms are arranged over the upper levels, including an exceptional principal suite.

Here, a B&B Italia bed is positioned beneath an ornate Timothy Oulton chandelier, framed by restored ornate cornicing.

The en-suite is luxuriously appointed with Porcelanosa stone, Vola brassware, a Japanese toilet and a Louis XV marble fireplace.

A private terrace overlooks the garden below, providing a moment of calm above the city. On the lower ground floor, a newly introduced wellness suite brings a meditative dimension to the home.

This level includes a dedicated gym, a two-person Clearlight infrared sauna, and a state-of-the-art golf simulator alongside a sunken seating area.

Air conditioning runs throughout, and two additional double bedrooms with a guest bathroom make this space highly versatile, ideal for visiting guests, extended family or quiet retreat.

London Fields pulse is unmistakably local - a blend of independent spirit, creative energy and enduring charm.

A stone’s throw from the house, along the quiet, tree-lined stretch of Wilton Way, Frans E8 brings a playful mix of Italian comfort and American diner culture to Hackney.

Its all-day menu shifts from espresso and pastries in the morning to meatball sandwiches, silky pastas and natural wines by night served in a relaxed space that feels both nostalgic and new.

Just steps away, Violets offers a slower, homelier rhythm: a cosy, light-filled café known for its handmade cakes, daily bakes and unfussy seasonal fare.

From pistachio loaf to expertly layered pastries, everything is made in-house, often served warm from the oven.

A short walk leads to Allpress Coffee, anchoring the eastern edge of Broadway Market with its industrial roastery, pared-back interiors and reliably good coffee.

Its freshly prepared sandwiches, made with care and quality ingredients, draw regulars from across the borough.

Just opposite, Little Duck The Picklery combines a kitchen, fermenting lab and intimate dining space, where the ever-changing menu is built around seasonal produce, house-made pickles and natural ferments, a quiet celebration of slow, intentional food.

Tucked just off London Fields, Tom’s Pasta is a neighbourhood favourite known for its handmade pasta, natural wines and unfussy charm.

What began as a lockdown project is now a permanent spot, serving a concise, seasonal menu in a warm, timber-lined space that feels both understated and personal.

Broadway Market itself remains one of East London’s defining thoroughfares.

Independent to its core, the high street is home to butchers, booksellers, florists and one of the city’s most vibrant Saturday markets.

From vintage stalls to farm-fresh produce, it’s a place where the week’s rhythms come to life. E8 is well connected yet quietly tucked away.

London Fields and Hackney Central Overground stations offer direct access to Liverpool Street, Stratford, and beyond.

For those on foot or two wheels, the neighbourhood unfolds along peaceful backstreets and canal paths, linking to nearby green spaces including London Fields, Victoria Park, and the Regent’s Canal.
