Year Purchased: 1999
Why the Owner Chose City of London
My flat has the benefit of being calm and tranquil in the evening as it is situated beside the river. However at the same time it is so central. A roof garden is a luxury in central London. The two most photoraphed views in London can both be seen!I love the cobbled streets that lead to the flat and yet I have all modern conveniences inside the flat, whilst being steeped in history outside.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment
Shad Thames is one of the most atmospheric areas in London, when you can really imagine and feel the shipping days. Being located next to the "City" security is very high in the area and I always feel safe and secure. The building has all the modern conveniences and yet the area is steeped in history.
The famous glass tall building that can be seen on all London Skyline Photographs, affectionatly called "The Ghirkin"
Londons Best Kept Secret. Also all Pleasure cruises and boats depart from here.
Climb to the top of Monument for some amazing views. This marks the exact spot the Great Fire Started.
See it. Feel it. Breath it. Air Raids The Blitz attack Shelters. Experience the sights, sounds, and smells of the London Blitz
Owner's Map of City of London
I began renting my apartment 10 years ago when I observed the bad quality of accommodation available to tourists combined with the poor service. There seemed to be a big gap in the market for people wanting an affordable alternative to hotels.
