1 bed flat for sale

St. Johns Building, London, London, London SW1P

St Johns Building behaves like a hotel that forgot to charge you. Swimming pool, sauna, gym, treatment room, residents' lounges, and a concierge who signs for the parcels you forgot you ordered.

The difference is that nobody asks you to leave on Sunday.

Walk into the apartment and there is no preamble. The reception is straight in front of you, the whole room in one go - no corridor, no build-up, nothing dressed up to feel bigger than it is. It takes a proper sofa, a proper dining table, and still has floor left over.

The kitchen and the bathroom are where the care went. Pale units, warm concealed light, and dark full-slab surfaces running through both without a grout line in sight. It is a calm, expensive-feeling way to finish an apartment, and it is the reason this one does not photograph like a one-bedroom.

The bedroom is a bedroom, not a box with a bed pushed into it. You could move in on a Friday with a suitcase and not spend the weekend in a furniture shop.

Outside is Marsham Street. Westminster Abbey, Tate Britain and the river are walkable, three Underground stations sit inside ten minutes, and there is a garden square over the road for when you want none of it.
