City Road, London

Positioned high on the 21st floor of the Canaletto Tower, this one-bedroom apartment is a study in light, proportion and perspective. Unfolding across approximately 637 sq ft, the apartment is defined by its sweeping curved façade — a design detail that not only sets it apart architecturally, but creates a living space that feels open, fluid and quietly impressive.

The main living area is exceptional. A broad, open-plan space where kitchen, dining and living come together effortlessly, anchored by a central island and wrapped in floor-to-ceiling glazing. The curvature softens the space and draws the eye outward, framing far-reaching views across London that shift throughout the day. From here, doors open onto a private balcony — a genuine extension of the living space, offering a moment of calm above the city.

The kitchen is clean-lined and minimal, designed to sit comfortably within the architecture rather than dominate it. Storage is intelligently integrated, keeping the overall aesthetic sharp and uncluttered.

The bedroom is well-proportioned and thoughtfully arranged, with a defined dressing area and bespoke storage that enhances usability without compromising space. The bathroom is finished in a rich, contemporary palette, bringing a more tactile, considered feel to the home.

Throughout, the apartment has been maintained in excellent condition, presenting as a true turnkey opportunity.
