  • everything from a cinema to Apple’s
    new UK campus. Many of the residential
    units display traces of the building’s past,
    such as the original steelwork, which has
    deliberately been left on show. The upper
    penthouses have their own roof gardens,
    ring spectacular vantage points across
    London and the Thames, yet the smaller
    units are also sought after, thanks to the
    many amenitie r to residents.
    ‘The Battersea Power Station development
    has been carefully managed to provide a
    healthy mix of independent shops creating a
    village experience, with lifestyle advantages
    such as commuting into the city by river
    taxi with a paper and e in hand,’ says
    property search agent Hannah Aykroyd
    (www.aykroydco.com). ‘The close proximity to
    the open spaces of Battersea Park, the newly
    opened Battersea Park Tube station at the
    end of the Northern Line, and a short walk
    across Chelsea Bridge to Sloane Square
    make this the epitome of modern living.’

    Westminster and the Houses of Parliament,
    the South Bank and the City, and continue
    on towards the soaring spires of Canary
    Wharf. During the Victorian era, this area
    was one of the busiest docks in the world
    and a hub of commerce, so it’s rather fitting
