BRICKWORKS SAYS

Amid the buzz of City life, with views of the Shard from your window, this compact flat is jam-packed with personality. Period features such as the sash windows and column radiators have been updated, bringing modern standards of comfort and convenience. They sit happily next to original architectural details, like the sweet fireplace in the bedroom.

The living space is comfortable and homely. It, too, has a fireplace––a dark surround that draws the eye––and clever lighting that creates a defined dining area. The kitchen may be snug, but it has room for everything-in-its-place neatness. Down the corridor, the bedroom is a retreat of calm where you can look out over the rooftops at London's famous skyline. The decor is subtle and understated, seamlessly linking the various zones together.

For those who want to experience the capital up close, this is the ideal neighbourhood, with the world-renowned Southbank, Borough and Bermondsey just a meandering distance away. Soak up the culture at Tate Modern and the Royal Festival Hall, tuck into a dizzying array of cuisines at Borough Market, or sink a pint at one of the many locals steeped in history. And for stretching your legs, you can't beat a walk along the Thames to appreciate having the city at your feet.

THE LEGAL BIT

While we endeavour to maintain accurate photographs, floor plans and descriptions, our marketing material is only a guide. Purchasers should always visit in person. We often round up/down total floorplan measurements, and distances are approximates.

THE OWNERS SAY

We have loved living in this flat––it's been a peaceful home above the roofs of London Bridge with amazing views across the City.

Having Borough Market, the Thames, Bermondsey Street, and the City on our doorstep has been fantastic for walks, entertainment, and transport—with all of central London either walkable or a short journey away. We'll miss living here, but reluctantly, it's time for us to move on.

The C10, for example, right on the doorstep, runs between Canada Water and Victoria. And when you’re heading further afield, you can pick up a train at London Bridge (National Rail).

1 White Cube Bermondsey

White Cube Bermondsey opened in 2011. A former warehouse, this immense building has multiple exhibition spaces, a collection of private viewing rooms, a 60-seat auditorium, a bookstore and more. Synonymous with the YBAs in the 90s, White Cube is one of the few galleries that has been instrumental in the rise of an artistic movement.

2 Everyman Cinema - Borough Yards

Right next door to the bustling Borough Market, Everyman Borough Yards features two cinema screens and a luxurious bar serving declicious cocktails and burgers straight to your seat.

3 Maltby Street Market

Described as "a magnet for discerning foodies," Maltby Street Market is a weekend food and drinks market. On this bustling, cobble-stoned alley, flanked by railway arches and with flags overhead, you will find some of the best street food in London.

4 Daunt Books

The local outpost of this independent chain of bookshops is home to all your literary needs, knowledgeable staff and, of course, the iconic Daunt tote bag.

5 Wilton's Music Hall

A really wonderful, historic, old music hall dating back to 1859, running a mixed programme of live music and theatre. The building is a stunning mix of atmospheric faded grandeur and charm. After being on the edge of demolition for years, it has now been finally restored and opened up to its full potential, all a labour of love which has finally paid off. Last year the project was awarded Building of the Year 2016. This place is really worth a visit, even just for a drink in the magnificent Mahogany Bar and a delicious pizza from the resident Gatherers menu.
