2 bed flat for sale

Atlas Building, City Road EC1V

Set within the Atlas Building on City Road, this two bedroom, two bathroom apartment extends to approximately 830 sq ft and sits high above the Old Street roundabout with westerly views across London’s skyline. The building is a recognisable piece of contemporary architecture, its vertical form and glass facade responding directly to the energy of Tech City and the surrounding neighbourhoods of Shoreditch, Islington and the City.

The apartment is planned around a generous open living and kitchen space, where floor to ceiling glazing draws in afternoon and evening light and opens onto a private balcony with long views across the capital. The kitchen is fully integrated with Siemens appliances, composite stone worktops and considered storage, designed to sit comfortably within the living space rather than dominate it. Materials are restrained and well judged, giving the apartment a calm, practical feel that works equally well for everyday life and entertaining.

Both bedrooms are well proportioned doubles with built in wardrobes and large windows. The principal bedroom is served by an ensuite bathroom, while the second bedroom sits alongside a separate bathroom, making the layout suitable for sharers, guests or home working. The bathrooms are finished with high quality fittings. Storage is thoughtfully integrated throughout the apartment, keeping spaces clear and uncluttered.

Residents of the Atlas Building have access to a wide range of shared amenities including a 24 hour concierge, a fully equipped gym, swimming pool, spa facilities, private cinema room and a residents’ lounge set above the ground floor. These spaces are designed as an extension of the home, offering places to work, exercise and relax without leaving the building.

Old Street station is a short walk away, providing Northern line services and quick connections to the City, West End and King’s Cross. Liverpool Street is also within easy reach, opening up multiple Underground lines and national rail links. The surrounding area offers a dense mix of restaurants, cafes and bars, from the long established favourites around Hoxton Square and Shoreditch High Street to newer openings around the roundabout itself. Nearby destinations include Barbican Centre for film, music and exhibitions, Exmouth Market for dining, and Spitalfields for galleries and independent retail.

Green space is nearby, with Shoreditch Park offering open lawns, sports facilities and canal access, while Regent’s Canal provides a quieter route on foot or by bike towards Islington and Little Venice. Several universities and institutions sit nearby, including City, University of London, the London Metropolitan University and parts of ucl, reinforcing the area’s young, international character.
