2 bed flat for sale

High Timber Street, London EC4V

A superb City apartment with a daytime concierge, a secure parking space, quietly positioned in the heart of this exclusive residential development.

Globe View is set within one of London’s most historic and architecturally fascinating locations, surrounded by renowned financial institutions, banks, livery companies and legal practices. The building itself boasts a rich industrial heritage, formerly a Kilner jar and sugar warehouse, ideally located between the River Thames and Upper Thames Street.

The apartment enjoys an enviable outlook over the building’s spectacular central atrium, filled with tropical shrubs, plants and palm trees, creating a unique and tranquil setting. The area’s history is equally compelling: Originally believed to be a Roman dock, the site later became Queenshithe Harbour, one of London’s most important medieval docks, handling imports of corn, furs, exotic spices and tanning goods.

Today, the property sits at the very centre of London’s financial district and is surrounded by some of the capital’s most iconic landmarks, including St Paul’s Cathedral, The Shard, Tower Bridge, the River Thames, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre and Tate Modern.

The accommodation comprises a generous reception room with attractive exposed brickwork leading into a stylish, well-appointed kitchen. There is a principal bedroom with an en-suite shower room, a second double bedroom, and a modern bathroom.

Transport links are excellent, with Mansion House (Circle and District lines), St Paul’s (Central line), Blackfriars (Thameslink) and Cannon Street (Southeastern) all within easy walking distance. The area also offers outstanding shopping and dining, with One New Change on Cheapside and an abundance of highly regarded restaurants close by.
