Occupying the eighth floor of a 1960s modernist block, this apartment offers the same river views as neighbouring, multi-million-pound high rises – but for a fraction of the price. You can use the provided binoculars to gaze over the Thames’ boat traffic west towards Chelsea Harbour, and at each night’s sunset. Inside all is bright and subtly stylish, courtesy of unusual paintings and an open-plan layout. Upmarket King's Road is a 15-minute stroll across Battersea Bridge, with buses serving elsewhere in Central London.

Home truths
This apartment is on the 8th floor of a 60’s modernist block. It may not appeal to all, but it is a true essence of 1960’s, British architecture.
If being near an underground station is important for you, this flat is not for you. The nearest London Underground station is Sloane Square, which is 20 mins walk away. But you can walk to Clapham Junction Overground station in 10 minutes and there is a bus stop right outside the house, as well as Boris Bicycles.

About Battersea
Battersea has been dubbed 'Nappy Valley' for its popularity with affluent young families, and it's not hard to see what draws them in. The area is surrounded by the green expanses of Clapham Common, Wandsworth Common and the vast Battersea Park, with its children’s zoo, boating lake, mini golf, and many acres of nature trails to explore. There are lots of good foodie spots and independent boutiques nearby, especially...

SHOP 'TIL YOU DROP ON THE KING'S ROAD
A heaven for fashionistas since the Swinging Sixties, you will find everything from world domination brands to bespoke ateliers and everything in between.
Run along the River Thames
For the energetic, get your endorphins going with a run along the embankment and witness the spectacular riverside sights that London has to offer.
Fine dine at Gordon Ramsey's London House
Take a trip back to the 90s. This is fine dining as it used to be, with the staff spiffingly well-dressed and roses on the tables.
Go to Bunga Bunga for Pizza
The Englishman’s Italian. This is a kitsch bar paying homage to the playful side of Italy, with party-animal PM Silvio Berlusconi as the poster boy. A riot at weekends.
SPEND THE DAY AT BATTERSEA PARK
Literally across the street from the flat you will find all the green space you need to frolic with your pets or kids or yourselves! Look out for fairs and markets that happen throughout the year.
WALK ALONG THE CHELSEA EMBANKMENT
At the end of the street, you'll find the Chelsea Embankment, one of the more beautiful roads in the city. Rainy or sunny, it is one of the most enjoyable walks along the River Thames.
Get creative at The Doodle Bar
An events space in Battersea where people have the freedom to enjoy a good scribble, play a game of ping pong and enjoy some street food. A versatile arts space for creativity.
Ride a Clipper Boat
If walking isn’t your thing and you like to think you’re more nautical, hop on a Clipper boat at Plantation Wharf (oyster card friendly) and head East towards Greenwich.
have Steak at Maze Grill Restaurant
If you’re a vegetarian, we wouldn’t bother going. Even the cocktails have meat in them. Try the Jack Daniel’s butchers block experience.
EAT BY THE WATERSIDE AT SOURCE
Serving the best of British produce, locally sourced of course. You can sit out on the waterside terrace and just relax and take in the view. Try something off the menu made in their wood-fire oven!
take a trip to THE FLOWER SHOW
Every May, this famous show gives you the chance to see cutting-edge garden design, new plants and find ideas to take home.
Have a night of Jazz & Drinks at Le QuecumBar
A hidden gem in downtown SW11. Legacy of Django Reinhardt and the players of his jazz manouche genre. Expect gypsy, vintage swing and some good ol' New Orleans jazz.
