Bankside Lofts, Hopton Street, SE1

A unique one-bedroom loft apartment on the third floor of the landmark Bankside Lofts, designed by award-winning architect Piers Gough in collaboration with Manhattan Loft Corporation. This exceptional apartment extends to approximately 700 sq ft and is flooded with natural light from floor-to-ceiling Crittall windows. The open-plan reception features double-height ceilings and a fully integrated kitchen.

A short internal staircase leads to the mezzanine bedroom, set apart from the main living area, with a contemporary bathroom finished in a neutral palette.

Residents benefit from a 24-hour concierge service, a fully equipped gym, and access to a landscaped first-floor terrace planted with Japanese maples. The building also offers a fully serviced lift, secure communal areas, and optional underground parking with 24-hour CCTV. Each apartment within the development is individually designed, reflecting its postmodern architectural approach.

Bankside Lofts is positioned on a quiet road directly opposite Tate Modern, within easy reach of Borough Market, Shakespeare’s Globe, the National Theatre, the Old Vic, and the British Film Institute. The South Bank offers a wide selection of restaurants, bars, and cafes, and the Millennium Bridge provides direct pedestrian access to the City.

Transport connections are excellent, with Blackfriars and Southwark underground stations close by. Blackfriars Thameslink provides direct services to Farringdon in approximately 5–10 minutes, while Waterloo and London Bridge offer access to the wider National Rail network. Thames Clipper services run from nearby Blackfriars and Bankside piers, and there are several bus routes in the area.

Completed between 1995 and 1998 on the site of a former Victorian cocoa warehouse, Bankside Lofts is a distinctive, predominantly glass-fronted building, widely regarded as one of London’s most desirable loft developments. It combines industrial character with considered architectural detailing in a central South Bank setting.
