Originally built in 1896, this remarkable Grade II listed Water Tower has been carefully converted into one of London's most distinctive homes. Full of character and original architectural features, it offers a truly unique place to stay that's unlike a typical house or apartment.



The centrepiece is the top-floor glass sky lounge, where floor-to-ceiling glazing frames panoramic views across London. The private lift takes you to the sixth floor, with the final two levels reached via the original stone staircase. It's the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, unwind after a day exploring the city or simply take in the ever-changing skyline.



The accommodation includes a king bedroom in the pavilion and two double bedrooms within the tower, while the private walled garden provides a peaceful space to relax or dine outdoors together.



It's no surprise that this extraordinary building has also been chosen as a filming location on several occasions.
