Set on the 14th floor of The Oxygen at Royal Victoria Dock, this two-bedroom penthouse delivers expansive City skyline views and generous, light-filled living spaces. Floor-to-ceiling windows, two private balconies and a high-spec Italian open-plan kitchen create an immediately impressive entertaining environment. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite and fitted wardrobes, while a marble family bathroom features mood lighting and underfloor heating.
Practical details support long-term ownership: the lease has about 169 years remaining and the apartment benefits from triple glazing and fast broadband. Transport links are excellent with Royal Victoria and Custom House DLR nearby and Jubilee Line access from Canning Town, making central and Canary Wharf commutes straightforward.
Buyers should note the material running costs: a service charge of £6,753 pa (above average) and an annual ground rent of £800. Heating is via a community scheme, which can restrict individual control and affect bills. The building sits in an inner-city, multicultural area popular with students and professionals, so local activity levels can be high at times.
Overall, this is a large, contemporary penthouse that suits purchasers seeking a high-spec, low-maintenance urban home or a premium rental asset. The long lease and waterside location add appeal, while the higher service and ground costs should be factored into purchase calculations.
