An exceptional two-bedroom apartment on the 39th floor of Lauderdale Tower, recently refurbished to a high standard with bespoke finishes and extensive glazing. The wraparound private balcony delivers panoramic central London views, including Big Ben, the London Eye and distant Hampstead Heath — an immediate visual draw for buyers seeking a landmark address and dramatic cityscape living.
The interior combines tactile materials and thoughtful detailing: handmade oak floors, marble-clad bathrooms, a bespoke kitchen with three ovens and Miele appliances, integrated AV and Lutron lighting. The apartment includes a parking space, three separate storage rooms and access to the Barbican’s private and public gardens, cultural venues and strong transport links. Its size (approx. 1,406 sq ft) offers flexible living, with a nursery/study that could become a second double bedroom.
Important practical points are stated plainly. The property is leasehold with approximately 82 years remaining — a short lease for this market that will require prompt renewal action and may affect mortgage availability and resale value. Service charges are high at about £14,400 per year and council tax is also described as quite expensive. Crime levels in the area are above average; buyers should factor this into their decision and security considerations.
This home suits buyers who prioritise central London lifestyle, cultural access and show-stopping views, and who are comfortable with higher ongoing charges and arranging a lease extension. It represents a turnkey, high-spec apartment in an iconic Brutalist landmark, offering long-term potential once lease issues are resolved.
