Globe View House, Pocock Street, SE1

Set within Globe View House, a former fur warehouse set on the river, this large two-bedroom, two-bathroom duplex offers considered city living with a calm, design-led feel.

The building is arranged around a striking tropical-style atrium, where planting and water features create a tranquil internal environment that feels removed from the pace of the City outside.

Arranged over two levels, the apartment is immaculately presented with wood flooring throughout and a clear emphasis on quality and longevity. The open-plan kitchen, dining and reception space is generous and well balanced, designed for both everyday living and entertaining. A private balcony leads directly from this main living area, extending the space outdoors and drawing in natural light through floor-to-ceiling glazing, with partial city views. There is also useful storage in the entrance hall.

The layout offers flexibility for sharers or a small family. The principal bedroom features its own private balcony and is served by a separate bathroom fitted with a bathtub and overhead shower. The second double bedroom is positioned on the upper floor and benefits from its own separate bathroom, providing privacy and practical separation across the two levels.

Residents benefit from a daytime concierge, lift access and a well-maintained communal roof terrace with long views across the skyline, including The Shard. The sense of community within the building is strong, supported by thoughtful management and shared spaces that are genuinely used.

Positioned on the north bank between Southwark Bridge and Millennium Bridge, the location is dynamic. The South Bank is moments away for evening walks along the river, theatres at the National and Globe, exhibitions at Tate Modern and weekends at Borough Market. Nearby streets offer an excellent mix of restaurants, cafes and bars, from riverside dining to City favourites such as The Ned, while Covent Garden and Soho are both within easy reach.

Transport links are excellent, with Southwark tube station (Jubilee) 0.1 mile away, and Waterloo and Lambeth North stations within 0.4 miles. Blackfriars Road provides numerous bus routes for convenient city travel.

Several leading universities, including King’s College London and LSE, are within walking distance, reinforcing the area’s mix of academic, cultural and professional life.
