About
This remarkable duplex apartment of approximately 3,718 square feet sits directly above the Thames within the Grade II listed Anchor Brewhouse.
Offering three to four bedrooms and four beautifully appointed bathrooms across two extraordinary levels. Its scale is rare for Shad Thames, but its position is even rarer.
From the main reception and private balcony, Tower Bridge dominates the horizon at close range, the river moving beneath you as though the building itself were floating on the water.
The outlook is entirely uninterrupted, a living artwork that changes with tides, weather, boat traffic and the evening glow of the bridge.
The apartment is approached via a stunning, private glass bridge that leads to the front door. Inside, the home has been reimagined with an obsessive focus on material craft.
The architectural flow is circular, a sweeping journey shaped around a bespoke staircase hand built by the joiners responsible for work at the Tate.
This forms the sculptural heart of the apartment, linking living, dining and sleeping spaces with the grace of a gallery edit rather than a corridor sequence.
Arched windows echo the original industrial heritage of the building, transforming the river into a panoramic theatre, day and night.
The reception room is dramatic and elegant, framed by a polished stone fireplace wall with integrated gas fire and centred by a sculptural coffee table.
From here the balcony feels almost suspended over the Thames, a platform where the bridge glows at night and boats drift silently beneath you.
Alongside this space is a curved marble bar, perfectly positioned for entertaining against the water. The floor below continues the theme of artisanal refinement.
The kitchen features marble worktops, Gaggenau appliances and a circular flow around a fully fitted wine room.
Adjacent is an atmospheric cinema lounge, ideal for immersive film nights or intimate gatherings.
Every service has been renewed, including electrics, plumbing, underfloor heating and air conditioning across key spaces, making the home as technically advanced as it is beautiful.
Bedrooms are serene retreats, each with its own bathroom and bespoke joinery.
The principal suite enjoys silk and gold leaf wall coverings, hand finished cabinetry and a dedicated dressing area, creating a private sanctuary distinct from the drama of the water level.
The two bedrooms on the lower ground floor each open out onto a small lit terrace. Anchor Brewhouse is part of the historic brewery complex of Shad Thames, once home to Anchor and Courage beers.
Today it sits among some of London’s most celebrated food and cultural destinations.
Le Pont de la Tour, The Coal Shed, Butlers Wharf Chop House, José, Maltby Street Market and Borough Market are close by, alongside design studios, galleries and riverside cafés.
Tower Bridge opens onto pedestrian lanes and riverfront walks, with water on one side and beautifully preserved warehouse architecture on the other. Transport links are superb.
London Bridge, Tower Hill, Tower Gateway and Bermondsey all offer rapid connections to the City, Canary Wharf, the West End and airports.
The Thames Path puts endless riverfront walking and cycling routes on the doorstep, while nearby Potters Fields Park provides one of London’s most iconic green open spaces overlooking the river.
This is one of the rare places in London where a home is not simply near the water, but entwined with it, where the bridge is not a landmark in the distance but a presence that animates everyday life.
It is architecture, history, water and craft working in perfect concert. An incomparable space for those who seek something truly unique.
