This thirteenth-floor one-bedroom apartment in Southbank Tower offers dramatic River Thames and OXO Tower views and a generous 628 sq ft open-plan living space. The home has been newly renovated to a high specification with full-height windows, a modern fitted kitchen, built-in wardrobes and a designated study area — ready to move into or let immediately.
Residents benefit from extensive on-site amenities including concierge, gym, swimming pool, spa, private cinema and a communal roof terrace, plus excellent transport links (Waterloo and Southwark around 0.4 miles). The long lease (989 years) removes a common leasehold concern and supports both ownership and investment use.
Buyers should note the material running costs: an annual service charge of £8,672, ground rent of £600 and a fairly high council tax band, which affect ongoing affordability and rental yields. The building sits in a dense central area with a very high recorded crime level — purchasers should review security data and insurance implications.
Overall, this apartment suits professionals seeking a turnkey central-London pied-à-terre or investors targeting strong rental demand on the South Bank. It blends high-spec finishing and premium communal facilities with the predictable trade-offs of city-centre living: higher service charges and local crime rates.
