Wenlock Road, London

A particularly generous two-bedroom loft apartment occupying the second floor of the landmark Royle Building, a former print works positioned beside Wenlock Basin and the Regent’s Canal.

Extending to approximately 781 sq ft, the apartment retains much of the industrial character that makes the building so distinctive. Exposed concrete ceilings, substantial structural columns, sections of original brickwork and large factory-style windows give the property a raw architectural quality that is increasingly difficult to find in newer developments.

The principal living space is especially impressive, extending to almost 27 feet in length with a ceiling height of approximately 3.06 metres. There is ample room to create clearly defined sitting and dining areas, while the large east-facing windows bring natural light into the apartment and emphasise the scale of the room. The kitchen sits separately but remains visually connected to the reception space, creating a layout that works well for entertaining without losing the practicality of a dedicated kitchen.


Both bedrooms are doubles and continue the industrial aesthetic, with exposed concrete and brick detailing alongside the building’s characteristic steel-framed windows. The principal bedroom measures approximately 15'9" x 8'10", while the second bedroom is similarly well proportioned at approximately 15'9" x 8'2", making it particularly useful as a guest room, children’s room or substantial home office.

There is also a family bathroom, useful hallway storage and further fitted storage within the principal bedroom.

The apartment is currently tenanted and presented simply, but the underlying space is excellent. With a more considered approach to furniture, lighting and artwork, the combination of concrete, exposed brick, warm timber flooring and generous ceiling heights could create a particularly striking contemporary loft.

The Royle Building, formerly the Royle Print Works, was one of the earliest warehouse conversions around Wenlock Basin. Converted in the late 1990s, the building retains many of its original industrial features, including terrazzo flooring and substantial communal staircases, alongside a passenger lift, porter and secure bicycle storage.

Its position is one of the building’s great strengths, sitting immediately beside Wenlock Basin and the Regent’s Canal, with the towpath providing an attractive route towards Angel, Islington, Hoxton and further east towards Broadway Market and Victoria Park.
