Atlas

in London

What are the whereabouts of the new complex?

Stretching across London’s skyline, Atlas is perched on the axis of Islington, Shoreditch, Farringdon, and the City. Lying within the borough of Hackney, the vibrant neighbourhood boasts a creative community that brings an abundance of dining, shopping, cultural, and leisure facilities to your doorstep. Rising at City Road, the new complex is surrounded by a plethora of trendy bars, lively pubs, and high-end restaurants.

To get some rest from the bustling streets of London, residents of Atlas can take a walk to one of the area’s green spaces. A short stroll away, Shoreditch Park offers 19 acres of lush greenery, creating a leafy sanctuary from the city buzz. Children are welcomed to enjoy a vast collection of the park’s exciting facilities, which includes an adventure playground, a play area, and sports fields, coupled with an enormous granite boulder for climbing.

Placed in central London, Atlas takes advantage of wonderful transport links. It takes 3 minutes to reach Old Street Station that offers Underground and National Rail services, connecting the neighbourhood to all corners of the megapolis. In addition, City Road is part of the London Inner Ring Road, which envelopes the city centre, making it easy for car drivers to travel around.
