Set on the 30th floor of One Blackfriars, this two-bedroom, two-bath apartment delivers sweeping, uninterrupted views across the Thames and central London skyline. Floor-to-ceiling glazing floods the open-plan reception and kitchen with light; high ceilings, stone-finish floors and integrated smart controls (Sonos, iPad lighting/climate) give a contemporary, turnkey feel. The layout includes a separate utility room and two well-proportioned bedrooms with built-in wardrobes.
Residents benefit from extensive hotel-style amenities including a 24-hour Harrods concierge, 20m swimming pool, thermal spa, gym, yoga terrace, private cinema and executive lounge — features that support strong lettability and appeal to buyers wanting a full-service city lifestyle. The property has an exceptionally long lease (991 years) which removes typical leasehold timing concerns.
Buyers should note material costs: an extremely high annual service charge (circa 16,540) and a notable ground rent ( 750), which affect running costs and yield calculations. The development sits in an area with very high recorded crime levels, and the apartment has no private garden (external space limited to a narrow balcony/terrace). Overall, this is a premium central London apartment best suited to investors or owner-occupiers prioritising views, amenities and central convenience over low running costs and private outdoor space.
