Set within Blackfriars Circus, this two-bedroom apartment is well placed in SE1, with the river, South Bank and some of central London’s best-known cultural spots all within easy reach. It is a well-considered home, with a straightforward layout and the practical details that make a difference day to day.
The open-plan kitchen and reception room forms the heart of the apartment. There is space for a dining table alongside the kitchen, with the sitting area positioned towards the sliding doors and balcony. The balcony brings in the morning light and provides a useful extension to the living space.
The principal bedroom has a fitted wardrobe with mirrored doors, while the second bedroom includes built-in storage. It could be used as a bedroom, guest room or study, depending on what suits. A generous bathroom completes the accommodation.
The apartment is part of Blackfriars Circus, a modern development with a range of residents’ facilities. There is a 24-hour concierge, video entry, key-fob access to each floor and two lifts. Secure cycle storage is provided in the basement, while residents also have access to a terrace on the second floor. Insulated walls and glazing, along with communal heating and hot water, are also part of the development.
Blackfriars Road is a tree-lined boulevard, with shops, cafes and leisure facilities along the route towards the river. Southwark station is nearby, while Waterloo is around a ten-minute walk and Blackfriars around fifteen minutes. It makes getting across London relatively simple, whether travelling for work or heading into the West End.
The South Bank is particularly easy to enjoy from here. Borough Market, the Southbank Centre, National Theatre, BFI Southbank and Tate Modern are all within walking distance, alongside the restaurants and cafés that fill the surrounding streets. Jubilee Gardens and Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park offer some welcome green space, while the Thames provides an easy route for a walk when you want to get away from the traffic.
