Summary - Apartment 1308, 55, Upper Ground, LONDON SE1 9EY
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Bright two-bedroom with pool, gym and concierge in London’s cultural heart.
Southeast-facing two-bedroom, 817 sq ft with ample natural light
Set on the 13th floor of an iconic South Bank building, this 817 sq ft two-bedroom apartment delivers strong amenity-led living. Floor-to-ceiling windows and a southeast aspect bring abundant natural light to an open-plan reception and fully fitted kitchen, while built-in storage helps maximise the living footprint. Residents benefit from hotel-style facilities: 24-hour concierge, indoor pool, gym, cinema room, residents' lounge and communal roof terrace.
The long lease (990 years) and available underground parking by separate negotiation make this a practical central-London purchase for professionals or buy-to-let investors seeking easy management. The property is finished to a contemporary standard throughout; bathrooms and fittings are modern and well maintained. High-speed lifts and excellent transport links (Southwark, Blackfriars, Waterloo East nearby) add everyday convenience and strong rental demand potential.
Buyers should note several material costs: an annual service charge of £11,510 and a ground rent of £800 are both high, and council tax is described as quite expensive. Heating is provided via a community scheme rather than individual boilers. The development sits in a very high crime area statistic, which may affect insurance and some buyers’ perceptions. Overall, the flat offers lifestyle amenities and central location value but carries notable running costs that should be factored into any purchase or investment decision.
