Summary - Flat 171 The Circle, Queen Elizabeth Street SE1 2JL
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Refurbished one-bedroom duplex with terrace, parking and skyline views — chain free.
Long private west-facing terrace with skyline and Tower Bridge views
Set over the top two floors of a Grade II listed development in Shad Thames, this refurbished one-bedroom duplex provides striking west-facing views of the City skyline and Tower Bridge from a long private terrace. At about 661 sq ft the apartment feels larger than a typical city flat thanks to high ceilings, full-height glazing in the reception and a smart, newly fitted kitchen and bathroom. A secure underground garage space and on-site 24-hour concierge add practical convenience for central London living.
This property will suit a first-time buyer or London pied-à-terre seeker who values location and turn-key presentation. The long lease (177 years) and chain-free sale simplify purchase, and communal landscaped gardens plus nearby gym/spa widen lifestyle appeal. Transport links are excellent: London Bridge, Tower Hill and Bermondsey stations are a short walk, with fast connections across the capital.
Buyers should note measurable running costs and listed-building constraints. The annual service charge is £5,992 (includes a parking contribution of £1,287 pa) and council tax is above average (Southwark Band E). The building's listed status may restrict alterations and could cause complications for future remodelling or lending. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than central gas, which can affect ongoing energy bills.
Overall, this refurbished duplex delivers a compelling central-London lifestyle package — strong views, private outdoor space and parking — but balance the high service charge, listed status and electric heating when considering total costs and future changes.
