Stunning flat near Tower Bridge
The flat is a 10 minute walk from London Bridge, Tower Bridge, Borough Market and the Shard, situated on Bermondsey Street a sought-after area of Zone 1. The independent cafes, galleries and restaurants make it a destination for Londoners, tourists and business people and most attractions are a short walk away. The loft-style flat has access straight off the street and the secondary glazing in the bedroom keeps the noise out. Canary Wharf and the City are ten minutes away using the local tube.<br /><br /><b>The space</b><br />Located in an old converted bank building, the apartment boasts large sash windows letting the light in, with a high ceilinged bedroom and lounge. Taking inspiration from the loft-style architecture in the area, the apartment is adorned in wood, iron and neutral tones and is the perfect place to relax after a day exploring London.
In earlier centuries, Bermondsey was big on food production (being near the Thames, where the imports came in) as well as leatherwork and tanning. Now on Bermondsey Street you’re more likely to find pitted olives, media types, design studios and street art. The swanky, glass-fronted destination restaurants (some with history-nodding names like Tanner & Co) are as big a draw as the street’s booming drinks micro-scene, which spills into boozy brunches on mornings after.<br /><br />But although it’s fond of a drink or six, Bermondsey Street isn’t a 3am warzone like Shoreditch: its bars are classily laidback and interspersed with pretty old churches and green spaces. Its villagey vibe is especially apparent at the annual Bermondsey Street Festival, run every September by community volunteers, offering street food, live music, maypole dancing and a dog show. It’s not at all what you’d expect in the shadow of The Shard.
