Old Ford Road, London, E2

A rare canal-side property overlooking Victoria Park – a beautifully proportioned 900 sq. ft. lateral apartment occupying a prime corner position within an elegant Victorian pub conversion, featuring soaring ceilings and striking triple-aspect views directly across the park and canal.

Set against the leafy fringes of Victoria Park, the former Cricketers pub occupies a prominent corner position. Originally a Victorian pub dating to circa 1854, the structure has been converted into residential homes that retain their authentic character through robust brickwork and grand sash windows.

This first-floor apartment spans over 900 sq. ft and is defined by impressive ceilings and a continuous run of oversized windows that frame views of the park and canal. The heart of the home is a 30ft triple aspect kitchen and reception room. The Plykea kitchen is integrated with minimalist white cabinetry, blue accents, and ply trim.

The layout is designed for efficiency, with a wide central hallway separating the social spaces from the bedrooms. The principal suite includes bespoke open fronted storage and a private en-suite. Two further double bedrooms provide flexible space for guests or a home studio, both served by a bright family bathroom finished in classic white tiling.

Area

The surrounding area is a pocket of East London where industrial heritage meets a slower, village-like pace. Bordered by Victoria Park and the Regent’s Canal, the neighbourhood is defined by its green space and independent spirit. To the north, the 'People’s Park' offers 200 acres of parkland and a popular Sunday market. A short walk along the towpath leads to Victoria Park Village, home to local institutions like The Ginger Pig, Pophams and The Deli Downstairs. The area is rich with dining options, from the seasonal menu at The Empress and the traditional charm of The Royal Inn on the Park to delicious food from My Neighbours The Dumplings.

Connectivity is excellent, with Bethnal Green and Mile End stations providing direct access to the City and West End.
