Set high on the 17th floor of a landmark South Bank building, this 624 sq ft one-bedroom flat offers modern, low-maintenance living with sweeping city outlooks. The apartment’s open-plan reception and integrated kitchen suit a busy professional or first-time buyer seeking convenient, contemporary accommodation in SE1.
Residents benefit from extensive on-site amenities: 24-hour concierge, swimming pool, gym, sauna and steam rooms, private roof garden, business suite and secure car park with cycle storage. Broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent — ideal for remote working and city commuting. Waterloo East is approximately a nine-minute walk, with multiple other transport links within 15 minutes.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold (988 years remaining) and carries a high service charge (£8,097) plus a ground rent of £600 and expensive council tax — factor these into ongoing costs. The immediate area records very high crime levels, which may concern some buyers despite the building’s security and concierge.
This apartment suits a degree-educated professional seeking a turnkey London base with strong amenity provision and long lease security. It also has rental potential for investors, though running costs and local crime statistics should be weighed against rental income prospects.
