Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
You'll find this contemporary apartment in St Katharine Dock, just a stone's throw from Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, and Tower Hill. Whether you're a first-time visitor keen to sightsee or a business traveller needing to work from home, this pad has you covered. There's a desk in the bedroom, a living area with a sofa bed, and a private balcony offering a view of Tower Bridge and the Shard. Style-wise, it's definitely on the simpler side, but we think the views and location speak for themselves.

About Wapping
Undoubtedly one of London's most atmospheric riverside areas, packed with maritime history and still retaining a real Dickensian feel to many parts of it on account of its many cobbled streets. The old wharfs and spice and tea warehouses that the area is filled with have almost all now been snapped up and converted by hip media types, wanting to live the NY-style loft dream. The area is also well-known for its many historic riverside pubs, gloriously cosy in wintertime and good for sun soaking come summertime.
