London
There’s something very special about the Thames. Winding through the heart of the
capital, I’ve often felt that it acts as a way of grounding Londoners, providing respite
from the chaos of life in the city. It’s certainly my favourite place to spend a Sunday,
wandering along the Thames path with a coffee – it’s the best way I find to relax.
I have been part of the Waterfront team since its conception in 2012 and I consider
myself very lucky to spend the majority of my time on the banks of The Thames.
For me, the river encapsulates the diversity of London’s rich history. One day I will be
viewing a trendy warehouse conversion, while the next I can be in a chic penthouse
apartment with iconic skyline views, or in a beautiful period house with a garden
stretching right down to the water’s edge. It is a place of contrasts, bringing together
tradition and innovation, the sophisticated and the rustic, the urban and the rural.
Whenever I visit a property on the Thames I am always struck by how different it can
feel, due to the ever-changing landscape outside. I could show you the same property
ten times and each experience would vary from the last. If you are there in the
morning you might see rowers passing by the window, or in the evening you can watch
a beautiful sunset over the water. It has an energy which brings people together -
whether they are sailing along it, jogging beside it, or enjoying a drink on the deck of
one of London’s oldest pubs, with the water lapping underneath. For the people living
in the houses and developments along its banks it is a lifestyle choice and there is a
sense of community rooted in their shared love of being by the river.
The properties featured over the next few pages are just a snap shot of what London’s
waterfront has to offer. For further information or advice, please don’t hesitate to get in
touch with us and we’d love to tell you more.
