Set on the 16th floor of The Oxygen, this two-bedroom apartment delivers bright, elevated living with partial dock views and an east-facing private balcony. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the open-plan reception with light, while triple glazing helps with comfort and sound reduction. The layout suits first-time buyers or couples seeking a low-maintenance city base.
The kitchen is high-spec and L-shaped with premium integrated appliances; bespoke built-in wardrobes in both bedrooms add practical storage. A boutique-style bathroom is finished with contemporary tiling and quality fittings. Residents benefit from a concierge and swift connections via Royal Victoria DLR and the Elizabeth Line to Canary Wharf and the City.
The property is leasehold with 169 years remaining and sits within a community heating scheme (mains gas). The apartment totals approximately 622 sq ft — average-sized for its type — and the building dates from the 2003–2006 period. Flood risk is very low and local crime levels are very low.
Buyers should note the annual ground rent is £800, which is on the high side, and there is a single bathroom for two bedrooms. Council tax is described as moderate. The surrounding area is an inner-city, multicultural neighbourhood with many amenities and good public transport — ideal for urban living but busier and more student-populated than suburban locations.
