The Roman Road and Victoria
Park Neighbourhood

This sought after
neighbourhood is a thriving, highly desirable and lively place to live, with
good schools, beautiful green spaces and a well-known food and drink culture.
The excellent transport links provide easy access to the City, Canary Wharf and
beyond, making it an ideal location for professionals and families alike.

Vivian Road and the other
Victorian streets of the Driffield Road Conservation area are not only an
architectural delight, but they are very friendly and have a strong community
feel, and the house is in the catchment area of the popular Chisenhale Primary
School (at the end of the road) and Olga Primary School.

Despite the quietness of
the immediate locality, the Roman Road and Victoria Park in general, provide
bustle and life with a plethora of independent cafes, bars, and restaurants to
choose from and a variety of convenience stores are at hand. From independent
boutiques to well-known high street brands, there is something to suit all
tastes and budgets.

The famous Roman Road
Market offers an eclectic mix of vintage clothing, fresh produce, and artisanal
goods, and there is a Sunday food market in the park, with Broadway and the
Columbia Road Flower Markets, a 20-minute stroll along the picturesque Regents
Canal.

The current owners
particularly love the Breadery, Mae + Harvey, Bàrd Books, local yoga studios
and the brewery on the canal. Only a short stroll through the park are the
Ginger Pig, Bottle Apostle and new wine bar Bruno in Victoria Park village.

Mile End tube station is
just a short walk away from where the Central, District, and Hammersmith and
City lines can be accessed, providing easy access to all parts of the city. Express
coaches to Stanstead Airport leave from Mile End, and from Whitechapel, two
stops west of Mile End, Heathrow Airport can be reached in 35 minutes via the
Elizabeth Line. There are also excellent
bus links, including the number 8, 277, 425 and 339 buses, making it easy to
get around the local area in all directions and beyond.

Victoria Park, which is a
213-acre park that was opened in 1845 and is one of the oldest public parks in
London. It features a large lake, numerous walking and cycling paths,
playgrounds, cafes, and sports facilities. The park also hosts various events throughout
the year, including music festivals, food markets, and sporting events. It is
considered one of the most popular and well-loved parks in London, providing a
peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. The Olympic Park and
London Stadium are a 20-minute walk away, and the Regents Canal, which flows
beside Victoria Park, connects Limehouse Basin and the Thames to the South and
Islington to the north.

It is no wonder that
properties are in high demand in this special area, with its unique blend of
old-world charm, modern-day convenience, and beautiful green spaces.
