Summary - 8 FLAT 448 ST GEORGE WHARF LONDON SW8 2LW
2 bed 1 bath Flat
Compact, commuter-friendly flat in a secure riverside development near Vauxhall station.
Riverside balcony with clear Thames views
A two-bedroom apartment in the prestigious St George Wharf development offers genuine riverside living with a private balcony and clear views over the Thames. The building’s 24-hour concierge, landscaped grounds and on-site leisure amenities provide convenience and security for daily life. Proximity to Vauxhall station makes commuting straightforward, with multiple transport options into central London.
The apartment is compact at 578 sq ft and arranged in a traditional layout: two bedrooms, one bathroom and ample built-in storage. Its size and location suit a first-time buyer or a buy-to-let investor seeking strong rental demand in a busy inner-city neighbourhood. The area benefits from many local amenities, good connectivity and several highly rated nearby secondary schools.
Buyers should note some running costs and limitations. The service charge is relatively high at £4,840 per year and council tax is in Band F, increasing ongoing costs. Heating is electric (room heaters), which can be more expensive than gas central heating. Crime levels in the immediate area are recorded as high; prospective purchasers should assess personal safety and local crime data.
The property is leasehold with a very long lease (973 years) and a modest ground rent of £175 per year. Constructed around 1996–2002 with double glazing installed post-2002, the building is modern and generally low-maintenance, but the flat’s compact footprint means limited living space. Overall, this is a convenient, well-specified riverside apartment best suited to purchasers prioritising location and transport over large internal space.
