This large one-bedroom apartment in Sugar Quay offers a turn-key luxury rental or pied-à-terre close to Tower Bridge. The building’s extensive leisure facilities — indoor pool, gym, spa, screening room and 24-hour concierge — support strong tenant appeal and premium short- or long-term lettings.
The apartment is well specified with smart home automation, an open-plan living/dining area, private balcony and a bedroom with dressing room and en suite. At around 576 sq ft, the layout suits a single professional or couple wanting high-spec, low-fuss city living within the Roman city walls.
Financially the property has clear strengths: a 999-year lease and an EPC B. Buyers should note ongoing costs are above average — service charge circa £7,108 pa and ground rent £750 pa — and council tax is in an expensive band. Heating is provided by a community scheme, which may limit individual control and add to service arrangements.
Location benefits include immediate access to riverside amenities, transport links and a dense local leisure and food scene. However, recorded local crime levels are very high; this is a central, inner-city area where buyers should weigh security and insurance implications alongside rental yields or lifestyle convenience.
