3 Bedroom Apartment in The Corniche, South Bank

Some homes just feel like London before you even open the door. This three bedroom apartment at The Corniche, right along the southern edge of the River Thames, honestly does that as soon as you wander in. I stood in that open living room and just took in those curves and sweeping skyline views for a minute, and I will admit the first thing I noticed was that easy river light bouncing off the wood floors. On a weekday afternoon, the city kind of hums along in the background and you get this quiet space above it all that still feels truly connected to London. There is just something about that spot, where you look out at the water and realise you are right at the city's heart but in your own calm little world.

The Corniche is a bit of an architectural statement, and in person you absolutely see why people talk about it. Foster plus Partners did the design here, and those smooth balconies do wrap the building in this almost riverlike way. If you step outside onto the main terrace you will get why I stopped for a while. The Shard is basically straight in front of you. You would swear you could reach out and touch it. Even when the sky goes grey it feels special because you start noticing all the little things happening over the Thames. There are a couple more balconies as well and sometimes it is just nice to pick a different corner for that late morning coffee or even a chat on the phone when you want to escape for a minute. Up here, it is not just another London view. It is a panorama that keeps surprising you. I found myself counting the landmarks whether it is Big Ben around the bend or the London Eye turning so slowly you almost forget to look away.

Inside, you get that feeling that the apartment is meant to actually live in. The open living room and kitchen flow together but never crowd you. The kitchen is honestly made for more than just display. All the appliances are proper brands, and you can see the thought that went into the layout. You could cook a full meal here, the sort that fills the space with that Sunday roast smell. Bathrooms have these smooth stone finishes that do feel a bit luxurious but not intimidating. You can use them every day and not worry about tiptoeing around. When you step into the bedrooms, two of them follow those lovely curved walls so when the sun comes up you wake to a soft London glow spreading across the skyline. Mornings seem to slow down a little. The main suite is set slightly apart from the rest so if you need your own quiet spot at the end of a long day, you have it. It just feels right.

The Corniche itself gives you some amenities that are more than just pretty words. Downstairs, the wellness suite with the pool and spa is honestly used often. You see residents heading in with a book or just towels over their shoulder. The gym is well maintained and I always found someone who gives you a smile on the way in. These little things add up. Then up on the nineteenth floor is the Skyline Club Lounge. It is a place that takes in the whole city at once. Sometimes on a weekend you just show up and take in a drink and the view, let everything else slow down a little. No matter the weather, you know you can come up here and just breathe. It is rare to have a space like that which belongs to everyone in the building but still feels personal.

You are in South Bank so life feels easy. Westminster is close. On early mornings you will see joggers along the river. Afternoon walks take you past all the street performers and coffee shops. Pop in enough times and you start to recognise faces. Buckingham Palace is not far. Getting around London from here is very straightforward. Most places are in easy reach.

Honestly if you are looking for a real London apartment, with enough luxury mixed into the everyday, it is worth a walk through. You kind of forget your phone for a while and just watch the city go by. The only way to know if it is the right spot for you is to come and see it in person. Reach out even for a chat or a stroll.
