Casson Square, SE1

Set within One Casson Square at Southbank Place, this one-bedroom apartment offers approximately 544 sq ft of calm, contemporary living above Waterloo. It is a quietly refined base in the centre of the capital close to London’s cultural and commercial life.

The building was designed by Squire & Partners, with interiors by Johnson Naylor. From its elevated position, the apartment takes in an expansive city outlook. Waterloo Station below, with the Shard, the City and St Paul’s forming part of a changing London panorama. By day, the view reflects the scale and movement of the city; after dark, its illuminated skyline brings a more intimate atmosphere to the rooms.

A generous reception room is arranged for both everyday living and entertaining, with warm continuous timber flooring creating a cohesive backdrop. Underfloor heating and comfort cooling support year-round comfort, while triple glazing helps to preserve a sense of quiet. The resulting interior is practical, restrained and inviting.

The open-plan living space is finished with an understated modernity. Miele appliances, quartz worktops and bespoke storage bring clarity and utility to the kitchen. Materials and proportion are allowed to do the work, giving the space a measured, enduring quality.

In the bedroom, floor-to-ceiling wardrobes and tailored storage provide generous capacity without disturbing its restful simplicity. A luxurious bathroom completes the private accommodation.

Life at One Casson Square extends beyond the apartment. A 24-hour concierge provides a welcoming and reassuring presence, while residents’ lounges and meeting spaces offer flexibility for work, informal meetings and visitors. The residents’ health club includes a gym, infinity pool, spa and treatment facilities, and relaxation areas: amenities designed for movement, restoration and a moment away from the city, without leaving home.

Further facilities include lift access, security and bicycle storage.

South Bank places London’s landmark cultural institutions, riverside walks, restaurants and galleries close at hand, while Waterloo’s excellent transport connections make travel across London and beyond particularly straightforward.
