Set within the iconic Grade II–listed Circle on Queen Elizabeth Street, this compact studio offers a bright, garden-facing space and private balcony in the heart of SE1. The open-plan layout makes the most of roughly 400 sq ft, creating a practical pied-à-terre or city base for a central-London lifestyle. On-site secure parking and a 24-hour concierge are rare conveniences in this location.
The building’s listed status gives the apartment charm and historic character but will limit alterations and may complicate repairs or improvements. The property is leasehold and small in overall size, so it suits a single professional, commuter, or investor seeking a well-located rental asset rather than a growing family home. Heating is by electric room heaters; buyers should expect higher running costs and potential modernisation to central heating if desired.
Practical positives include double glazing, very low flood risk, excellent mobile signal and nearby transport links (London Bridge, Tower Hill, river taxi). The communal garden and secure garage add lifestyle and parking value. However, windows and glazing installation dates are unknown and some updating may be needed to maximise rental yield or long‑term comfort.
This apartment presents straightforward city living with strong access to riverside amenities, schools with good/outstanding Ofsted ratings nearby, shops and eateries. Expect limitations on changes due to listed status and leasehold terms; viewings are recommended for those prioritising location, convenience and historic character.
