Seventeenth-floor riverside apartment with panoramic Thames views
Perched on the seventeenth floor of St. George Wharf, this expansive three-double-bedroom apartment offers uninterrupted south/west river views and an exceptional open-plan reception framed by floor-to-ceiling glazing. The flat extends to about 1,989 sq ft (very large for central London) with a separate kitchen, three bathrooms and generous entertaining space — ideal for professionals who value light, views and a show-stopping living area.
Practical benefits include a 24-hour concierge, excellent transport links (moments from Vauxhall station and River Taxi access), very low flood risk and long lease security (973 years). The property is sold chain free and sits within a popular riverside development built in the mid-2000s, with double glazing and contemporary finishes throughout.
Buyers should note some material costs: an above-average annual service charge (£6,305) and a £400 ground rent. Council tax is band H (very expensive). Heating is electric via room heaters rather than a communal gas system, and the wider area records higher crime levels — factors to weigh against the apartment’s size, finish and location.
This apartment will suit buyers seeking a large, high-amenity riverside home or an executive pied-à-terre with strong lifestyle appeal. It also offers investor interest because of its size and transport links, but budgeting for ongoing service, tax and utility costs is essential.
