Bright, modern living in Zone 1: this sixth-floor, two-bedroom apartment at One The Elephant offers generous natural light from floor-to-ceiling windows and a south-facing balcony. The open-plan living space flows into a high-spec integrated kitchen, making everyday life and entertaining easy. The principal bedroom includes built-in storage; the second bedroom works well as a guest room or home office. A single contemporary bathroom completes the layout.
Residents benefit from secure underground allocated parking and a long lease (240 years), rare for central London flats. The 2016 development was built with energy efficiency in mind and provides extensive communal facilities: 24-hour concierge, residents’ lounge with cinema screen, reading garden and a rooftop grow garden — useful lifestyle extras that support rental appeal and comfortable living.
Location is a major asset: a short walk to Elephant & Castle station (Northern and Bakerloo lines) and close to Mercato Metropolitano, Elephant Park, Southbank and Borough Market. Excellent mobile and broadband connectivity and fast links to the City and West End add practical value for professionals and renters.
Important considerations: service charges are high (£6,730 pa) and ground rent (£400 pa) applies. Council tax is above average. Local area statistics show a very high crime level and wider area deprivation, which may affect some buyers’ perceptions and rental yields. The flat has only one bathroom and is compact by suburban standards, so it suits buyers prioritising central location and amenities over large internal space.
