This incredible apartment is not only in a prime London location but also offers spacious living areas and incredible views from several balconies. Wake up every day and enjoy the morning light as you step out from your bedroom or the living room onto a terrace with your first cup of tea of the day. Overlooking the Thames River, the fantastic views from this home stretch as far as the iconic Westminster and the London Eye – the latter of which you can reach in just twenty-five minutes on the tube. When you’ve got ready for the day ahead, explore everything that the city has to offer almost on the doorstep of this home. The South Bank is just twelve minutes away on the tube and is perfect for theatre lovers, riverside walks, or exploring the colourful food stalls and book market which you will find under the bridge on summer days. London has a never-ending bucket list of great sights and activities, including Buckingham Palace – reachable in nineteen minutes on the tube, and shopping at Covent Garden – a twenty-seven-minute journey away. Then, for dinner, foodies will be excited to experience the atmosphere and cuisine at Brunswick House... – a hidden gem of a restaurant which can be reached in just six minutes on foot. Whatever you’re hoping to experience or see, this home is ideally located to reach it all, while also offering stunning views from the moment you wake up.
