Sitting across from peaceful Battersea Park, this penthouse apartment is a great fit for families or groups of friends visiting the city. You're just a seven-minute stroll from the shops and restaurants of Battersea Power Station while being well-connected to Central London – the nearest Tube station is a three-minute walk away. We appreciate the bright living area and open kitchen, as well as the winter garden terrace which will be a welcomed sight after a busy day of sightseeing. Step right out onto the balcony and enjoy evening drinks with a skyline view.

About Nine Elms
A fast-transforming locality on the banks of the Thames, larger in area than Monaco, Nine Elms is set to become one of London’s most vibrant districts. Much has changed since its humble farmland and locomotive works beginnings; in their place now stand gleaming mirrored skyscrapers and upscale private residences that dominate the horizon. One of which boasts the world’s first floating sky pool, a leg-trembling 115 feet above the ground....
