One Blackfriars, Blackfriars Road, SE1

An immaculate south-west facing one-bedroom apartment in One Blackfriars, a landmark riverside tower designed by SimpsonHaugh and Partners. Its form references the Lansetti II vase by Timo Sarpaneva, expressed as a tapering glass structure with a continuous curved facade. The architecture prioritises light, views and performance, with winter gardens integrated as usable, climate-moderated space.

The apartment is arranged as a clear open-plan volume with floor-to-ceiling glazing and a winter garden extending the living space. The kitchen is integrated with bespoke cabinetry, stone work surfaces and fully fitted Siemens appliances. Underfloor heating and comfort cooling are installed throughout. The bathroom is finished in stone and porcelain with clean detailing, and the bedroom is set back for privacy without compromising light.

Residents have access to a full range of facilities including a 20-metre pool, spa and thermal suite, gym, screening room and executive lounge, alongside a 24-hour concierge. A landscaped piazza forms the base of the building.

The immediate area offers a strong mix of cultural, dining and social destinations. Within walking distance are Tate Modern, Shakespeare's Globe and Southbank Centre, placing galleries, performance spaces and events programming close to the building. The South Bank is a recognised cultural corridor with museums, theatres and riverside venues concentrated within a short walk.

Dining options are varied and accessible. Borough Market is within walking distance, offering a wide range of independent food vendors and produce. The surrounding area combines riverside restaurants, independent operators and established dining spots, with a stronger emphasis on variety and quality on the South Bank side of the river. Nearby options include OXO Tower Brasserie for river views, Art Yard Bar & Kitchen for all-day dining in a creative setting, and Seabird for rooftop dining. For bars and evening venues, the area ranges from local pubs to destination cocktail spots, including Lyaness at Sea Containers and neighbourhood venues such as Leaf and Cane Bar, contributing to an active but not overly dense nightlife offer.

Green space is accessible at Jubilee Gardens and Southwark Park, alongside continuous riverside routes along the Thames Path.

Transport connections are direct. Southwark Underground Station (Jubilee line) is within walking distance, with Blackfriars Station and Waterloo Station providing Underground, Thameslink and National Rail services, as well as river transport from Blackfriars Pier.

The location also places you close to King's College London, London School of Economics and Political Science and University College London.
