Right next door to a tube station, this is a hidden gem with spectacular water views in the heart of London - those who find it, love it. See our 5-Star Guest Reviews. Combining location, quality and value, this is a perfect Central London base for families and professionals. This luxury 170 sq m riverfront apartment is beautifully appointed and furnished and located in historic Wapping, just a short stroll from Tower Bridge, the Tower of London, fun restaurants and three ancient riverside pubs. As the water laps against the wall just beneath your bedroom window or as you watch from the sofa as countless vessels of all sizes pass serenely by, you can relax fully with all the privacy and comfort of an immaculate private home – yet you’re just a short walk, tube ride, DLR, bus or riverbus ride to all of London’s amenities, tourist sights and business centres. Rates quoted are all-inclusive, with free high-speed wireless Internet connection.
Inside the apartment: The 1860-square-foot apartment is kept immaculate and works really well for any group from 1 to 7. The huge lounge area includes a balcony hanging over the River Thames, fascinating views of ever-changing waterscapes from leather sofas, 46” HDTV with premium satellite entertainment, DVD and CD players and an oversize ash wood dining table seating 6 or more. The open plan kitchen has river views, granite surfaces, high-quality contemporary equipment and a large breakfast bar. You have all the privacy and comfort of a home with 3 great bedrooms (all with own TV) and 3 superb modern bathrooms (two en suite, two with power shower). Halogen lighting throughout, includes a laundry room and lots of storage space. All towels, linens, cutlery and cooking utensils are included. Aero bed available for 7th guest – please enquire before booking.
The location: Wapping is a riverside community in the heart of London since Roman times. Its streets and buildings ooze with history, and a unique village feeling comes from the fact that Wapping has no through roads. This blend of peace and central location (between London’s old and new financial districts) has given Wapping strong Royal ties and attracted celebrities including Helen Mirren and Cher to make Wapping their home. Tower Bridge and the Tower of London are walking distance away on cobbled streets dating back centuries. Stores just a short stroll from home include top-class bakery and butcher, as well as grocery, fresh produce, fish & chip shop, pharmacy, newsagent, florist, post office, private cab firm and liquor store. Local amenities include four parks, swimming, sailing and tennis. For riverside pub lovers, three of the best and most historic in London (the Captain Kidd, Town of Ramsgate and the Prospect of Whitby) are local.
Nearby attractions: All of London’s major tourist attractions are within easy reach. Between the apartment and nearby Tower Bridge are cobbled streets taking you to St Katharine’s, a marina for millionaires, cafes, shops and the Dickens Inn, one of the hanging sites for pirates and tax-dodgers. Take the riverbus from Tower Pier to Westminster and the London Eye, with the wind in your hair and marvellous sights of Central Lonon. On the opposite riverbank at Tower Bridge are the Design Centre, pubs and riverfront gourmet restaurants at Shad Thames.
Walking further along the River Thames will soon bring you to City Hall, St Paul’s Cathedral, the Tate Modern Gallery, the Millennium Bridge, London Bridge City or Canary Wharf, each providing a unique way to experience London. In the East End, Brick Lane offers a rare variety of cultures for arts, shopping and watching the world go by, while the famous Sunday morning street markets at nearby Columbia Market (flowers & plants) and Petticoat Lane provide distinctive atmospheres of London.
