This luxury 170 sq m riverfront apartment provides spectacular water views and is beautifully furnished and appointed.  The apartment is in historic Wapping, just a short walk from Tower Bridge and the Tower of London on streets dating back centuries.  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 only a few steps away from the sights and experiences of this pulsing city.  

The location:  Wapping is a riverside community in the heart of London for 2,000 years, and it’s like a small piece of quiet delight in the heart of an otherwise very busy and lively city.  Its cobblestone streets and ancient 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 (neighbouring both of 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.  Stores just around the corner include top-class bakery and butcher, as well as grocery, fresh produce, fish & chip shop, pharmacy, newsagent, florist, post office, private cab firm, dry cleaner and liquor store.  Local amenities include four parks, swimming, sailing and tennis. For riverside pub lovers, three of the best and most historic in all of 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.  Live the river – and still have the choice of a short walk, riverbus ride, bus, tube or DLR ride to all of London’s amenities, tourist sights and business centres –  you’ll find that St Paul’s Cathedral, the Tate Modern Gallery, the Millennium Bridge, City Hall, London Bridge City, O2 and Canary Wharf are all close by.   Between the apartment and Tower Bridge is St Katharine’s Docks, with a marina for millionaires, restaurants, shops and the Dickens Inn, one of the hanging sites for pirates and tax-dodgers.  A short walk across Tower Bridge is the Design Centre and the pubs and famous gourmet restaurants at Shad Thames – including Pont de la Tour and the Chop House. 

Quality:  The apartment has 3 large bedrooms (each with own TV) and 3 superb bathrooms (2 en suite).  An oversize ash wood dining table seats 6 or more.  The open plan kitchen has river views, granite surfaces, high-quality contemporary equipment and a large breakfast bar.  The apartment provides halogen lighting and also benefits from the ever-changing light of both river and sky. 

Free high-speed wireless Internet connection, free premium satellite widescreen HDTV, all towels, linens, cutlery and cooking utensils are included – the apartment also provides a laundry room with washing machine, tumble dryer and lots of storage space.   An Aero bed for a seventh guest may be available – please enquire.

Value:  Prices represent large savings on nearby hotels.  Guests can make payment in US dollars or Euros, thus saving all currency charges.  Late bookings available at special rates - contact the owner.

Parking:  Secure parking space for one car included.

Minimum stay:  4 nights (exceptionally we will consider a 3-night stay - check the availability calendar).
