Aldersgate Street, London House, EC1A

One-Bedroom Apartment with Private Parking & Share of Freehold – London House, EC1A

A well-presented one-bedroom apartment on the fifth floor of London House, 172 Aldersgate Street, ideally positioned in the heart of the City of London, directly opposite the Barbican and moments from some of central London’s most celebrated cultural, historic and dining destinations.

Extending to approximately 500 sq. ft., the apartment offers well-proportioned accommodation, comprising a generous reception room with defined living and dining areas, a semi open-plan kitchen with integrated appliances, a comfortable double bedroom with in-built storage and a contemporary bathroom.

One of the property's key advantages is the generously sized private basement parking space, a particularly valuable and relatively uncommon feature for a central City apartment. The property is also sold with a share of the freehold, meaning there is no ground rent.

Residents of London House benefit from a concierge service and access to the building's communal roof terrace, providing an impressive outdoor space with far-reaching views across London's skyline. The combination of private parking and communal outdoor space adds a level of amenity that is increasingly difficult to find in such a central location.

The Location

London House is well positioned for enjoying both the commercial heart of the City and the cultural character of neighbouring Clerkenwell and Smithfield. The Barbican Centre, with its theatres, cinemas, galleries, concert spaces and restaurants, is on the doorstep, while the surrounding Barbican Estate provides a distinctive architectural and cultural setting.

The historic Smithfield area is also close by, with its market buildings, restaurants, pubs and characterful streets leading towards Clerkenwell. St Bartholomew's Hospital, one of London's major teaching hospitals, is nearby, while the wider City provides an extensive choice of restaurants, cafés, bars and shops. Smithfield is situated between Barbican and Farringdon, making this an especially convenient base for exploring the City and central London.

For culture and sightseeing, St Paul's Cathedral is within easy walking distance, with the Millennium Bridge providing a direct pedestrian connection across the Thames to Tate Modern, Shakespeare's Globe and the South Bank. The City also offers easy access to the Thames Path and a wealth of historic landmarks, architecture and riverside walks.

Transport connections are excellent. Barbican Underground Station is close by, served by the Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines, while Farringdon provides access to the Elizabeth line and National Rail services. St Paul's and Moorgate are also within walking distance, providing straightforward connections across London and beyond.
