Embassy Works, Vauxhall, SW8

Set within the striking Embassy Works development, this extraordinary loft-style penthouse is without comparison. Designed by award-winning architects Foster Lomas, the residence spans nearly 3,700 sq ft across two levels and is one of London’s most expansive and dramatic lofts available to rent. With three private terraces overlooking Vauxhall Park, soaring vaulted ceilings, and meticulous bespoke detailing throughout, this home is in a class of its own.

On entry at the third floor, a dramatic atrium hallway immediately sets the tone, opening into a breathtaking open-plan reception and kitchen with 20ft ceilings and vast warehouse-style proportions. Industrial character is paired with refined craftsmanship, with exposed finishes, bespoke joinery, and a hidden preparation kitchen that seamlessly complements the main entertaining space. This level also houses a generous guest bedroom, distinguished by rough-render walls and a porthole feature window into its en-suite shower room, as well as direct access to a private roof terrace.

A sculptural steel staircase leads to the upper floor, where three further double bedrooms are arranged with access to private terraces. The principal suite is a true retreat, featuring a bespoke dressing room, a semi open-plan en-suite with Italian-tiled shower, double sinks, and a handcrafted Estonian teak bath. Two further bedrooms complete this level: one with its own en-suite bathroom, the other served by a sleek, contemporary shower room. The design and finish combine industrial authenticity with warm, sophisticated detailing.

From its location on Lawn Lane, the property is exceptionally well connected. Vauxhall Station (National Rail, Victoria Line, and bus interchange) is a short walk away, providing swift links into central London and beyond. The Northern Line at Nine Elms and the new transport hub at Battersea Power Station further enhance connectivity, while Thames riverboat services are also close at hand. For international travel, Heathrow and Gatwick airports are easily accessible via rail and underground links.

The area surrounding Embassy Works has transformed into one of London’s most dynamic and desirable neighbourhoods. Just moments from the River Thames, residents are surrounded by cultural and lifestyle landmarks including the American Embassy, Battersea Power Station, and the South Bank. Vauxhall Park provides a tranquil green escape, while nearby Nine Elms offers fine dining, boutique shopping, and a thriving arts scene. This is a location that balances the energy of central London with riverside calm, making it one of the capital’s most exciting places to live.
