Set within a converted Shad Thames warehouse, this two-bedroom flat blends striking industrial character with practical city living. The open-plan reception and kitchen are defined by double-height ceilings, exposed brick and original wooden beams, with large multi-paned windows bringing abundant natural light to the 826 sq ft apartment. A mezzanine above the bathroom provides flexible extra sleeping or storage space.
The layout works well for a professional couple or buyers seeking a distinctive central-London home close to Tower Bridge, London Bridge and riverside amenities. Transport links are excellent, with mainline and Underground stations within easy walking distance and river taxis nearby. Local shops, restaurants and cafés add day-to-day convenience in an affluent, cosmopolitan neighbourhood.
Important practical points: the property is leasehold (183 years remaining) with a high annual service charge of £4,494. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than a central system, and the building’s solid brick construction likely offers limited wall insulation. Crime in the immediate area is above average—worth factoring into security and insurance costs.
This is a rare opportunity to own a dramatic warehouse conversion apartment in one of London’s most historic riverside locations. It will particularly appeal to buyers who value character, high ceilings and location over the efficiencies of a newly built flat. Some upgrade work and consideration of heating/insulation could add comfort and longer-term value.
