WHY IS THE HOME UNIQUE? 

The sub-penthouse has the largest roof terrace in all of St George Wharf – it was specially designed to have the ‘full-prow’ such that the apartment encompasses the front peak of the building, with both east and westerly aspects (in all of the other buildings the developer divided the floorplan so that apartments only had a half prow, facing either east or west). We have been told that it is the largest private residential terrace overlooking the River Thames in London. 

Attached below are some photos that we took when the Spectre Bond film was being shot. 

The helicopter and speedboat chase scene at the end of the movie was filmed right in front of us. We were in the backdrop of those scenes, as well as many other shots that included MI6 in that film and previous Bonds.

Other notable filmings/media include:

• Burberry – Spring/Summer photoshoot location 
• Barbour International – Autumn / Winter photoshoot location 
• Pusher, a gangster movie that starred Richard Coyle, Agness Deyn and Suki Waterhouse.
• The Windsors, TV series (Channel 4) where the apartment was used for Prince Harry and Pippa Middleton’s home. 
• The Royal Bodyguard, TV series (BBC) where the apartment was used for a scene with David Jason acting the main role.
• Action Team, TV series James Bond style comedy, ‘a spoof comedy action thriller series following the exploits of a special branch of MI6’ staring Tom Davis. 
• Sean Kingston, music video.
• The Saturdays, music video.
• The Evening Standard, TV commercial for the newspaper, “Hello London”.
• Lifestyle celebrity magazine shoots for Hello, OK! and Grazia 
• Previous Evening Standard article and photo in the newspaper of a mother duck and ducklings nesting and hatching on the terrace – a home with a view!

The riverboat services make a convenient stopover at the St George Wharf Pier amidst a buoyant, vast regeneration programme all across the neighbourhood.

Architecture:
 
This sub-penthouse encompasses a double prow and the entire river frontage of the 7th floor of the renowned Bridge House, St George Wharf, Vauxhall. It is one of the only properties in St George Wharf to benefit from this full prow, offering some of the best east and westerly views across Battersea Power Station, the Houses of Parliament and the London Eye. This spectacular apartment has only come to the market once before.
 
The property is light and spacious and has been designed and finished to a very high standard throughout. The living accommodation comprises an open plan kitchen/reception room and enjoys floor to ceiling windows and immediate access to the large wrap around terrace. There is a separate office/TV room which also has its own access onto the terrace.
 
The master suite is very large and sits prominently with a corner aspect and floor to ceiling windows overlooking the river and London skyline. It has a stunning ensuite bathroom featuring a freestanding bath, double sink and open shower. It also has access to a second terrace onto the river and MI6, the UK’s Secret Intelligence Service. The second bedroom is sizable and has an ensuite bathroom and direct access to the large terrace. The third bedroom is well proportioned and has access to the second terrace. Each of the bedrooms have ample fitted storage and high end fixtures and fittings feature throughout. There is a separate shower room that is also the guest bathroom.
 
This property is a one-off, offering high class London living and the perfect entertainment space. It was previously the first show apartment at St George Wharf due to its exceptional position, layout and size with the stunning outdoor terraces. It has also featured numerous film shoots.
