Plus, with an abundance of new luxury properties under construction and the pound currently cheaper against the dollar and Euro, there’s never been a better time to invest. Here’s our guide to the hottest London addresses to buy in now…
Wardian London, Canary Wharf
A collection of luxury apartments by EcoWorld Ballymore, Wardian London combines modern architecture with innovative landscaping in one of the city’s most lucrative business districts. Composed of two residential towers, the buildings themselves, designed by Glenn Howells Architects, will rise to 50 and 55 storeys over South Dock, with unrivalled views over Canary Wharf and the City.
Wardian London’s penthouses, the development’s most luxurious residences available in two or three bedroom duplex configurations, offer residents the ultimate oasis from the hustle and bustle of the city. Interiors by a specialist team of designers draw inspiration from the development’s unique eco-concept and the apartment's private sky garden. Using an earthy colour palette to give the decor an artisan’s touch, unlacquered marble, stone and brass, as well as organic timber are used in abundance throughout the open plan living areas and spacious bedrooms.
All Wardian London residents will also have access to The Wardian Club and its exclusive facilities, which include a 25 metre open air swimming pool, gym, cinema, business lounge, two restaurants, a vibrant rooftop sky observatory and a 24 hour concierge service.
