Summary - 55 ST KATHARINES WAY LONDON E1W 1LP
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Bright one‑bed by the marina, ideal for first‑time buyers seeking central convenience.
- Private balcony facing the dock
Set on the first floor of a mid‑century block beside St Katharine's Dock, this one‑bed apartment offers a bright reception room and a private balcony overlooking the marina. The layout includes a generous bedroom, separate kitchen, contemporary bathroom and useful built‑in storage — sensible space for a first home or rental.
The apartment benefits from an outstanding central location with Tower Hill and Tower Gateway within easy reach, plentiful local amenities, riverside green space and strong mobile signal. At about 505 sq ft, it feels larger than many city one‑beds and suits buyers who value place and convenience.
Buyers should note the practical downsides: the lease has 82 years remaining, the yearly service charge is high at £5,286, and communal heating is supplied via a main community scheme. Broadband speeds in the area are reported as very slow, and local crime statistics are very high — factors to weigh for occupation or landlord plans.
There is straightforward potential for cosmetic updating and energy improvements (walls likely cavity construction with no insulation). Overall, this is a well‑located, well‑presented apartment offering immediate occupation or rental income, provided buyers accept the service costs and infrastructure limitations.
