Perched on the Thames, this stylish riverside apartment pairs contemporary, eclectic design with sweeping views. Floor-to-ceiling doors open onto a private balcony where you can watch the riverboats glide by, while inside you’ll find a bright open-plan living space complete lounging space, a working area and even a grand piano. The kitchen has everything you need for home cooking, though London’s world-class restaurants are just minutes away. We think it’s a serene base to unwind – all within easy reach of central London.

Home truths
There is a split level design in the main living area. It might not be the best option for those with reduced mobility.
For security, there is a camera outside the entrance monitoring the front door only.
This flat is in a residential riverside community – parties, loud noise, and smoking are not permitted.
Parking in London can be tricky, so we recommend sticking to easily accessible public transport where possible.

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.
