Exceptional Penthouse in Principal Tower

Some homes just shift your mood the minute you walk in. That is what I felt in this two bedroom penthouse in Principal Tower over in Shoreditch. I lingered for a second when I stepped in. Honestly you cannot help it up here this high above London. There is something different about seeing the city lights stretch out forever instead of just glancing at rooftops. Imagine your morning coffee with that view every single day. Principal Tower itself catches your eye straight away there is this open piazza out front and you always spot someone pausing for a photo or just leaning back as they wait for a friend. The building is one of those modern cornerstones that brings a touch of sparkle at night but inside it all just feels comfortable and real.

When you head up high where this penthouse sits above Shoreditch, something changes. You notice it is quieter up here, everything slows down a bit. The layout just makes sense. That is kind of rare in the city, right. Sometimes apartments leave you scratching your head, wondering where to stash your suitcase or if your art will work on the walls. Here it all feels easy and unfussy. The living room and dining stretch along one full side so you just have this big sweep of glass letting in the softest natural light all day. No weird wall angles, no heavy shadows, just open calm space. I found myself actually pausing by the windows for a while, just to watch the sky shift.

So the kitchen here is more than just a spot to reheat takeaway. It is proper, with plenty of workspace and a big island in the center. I got the feeling someone who actually loves to cook designed it. Real storage, good flow, even space for friends if you like everyone gathering as you cook. Or maybe you plug in your laptop and work with the city as your background instead of the usual desk at home. One of those setups where it feels natural just to stay in.

Stepping outside from the living room, you find a terrace that feels like an extra living space up in the clouds. I stood out there and, even with the city humming below, mostly heard the breeze and the odd bird sound. Sometimes you almost forget you are right in the thick of London. The bedrooms are smartly tucked along the opposite side, so if you like keeping sleep and living areas separate, it is perfect. The main bedroom in this penthouse honestly has stretching room, not just room for a double bed and that is it. There is a proper built in wardrobe, so everything is tidy and tucked away. The en suite bathroom is the kind where you want to take your time in the morning. And yes, there is your own private terrace too, perfect for watching the city glow as the lights come on, or just taking a deep breath after a busy day. The second bedroom is just as carefully put together, not just a box to call a guest room. Plus it has its own built in closet, and a full guest bathroom nearby.

What really stuck with me during my visit is how welcoming Principal Tower feels. You come in through that landscaped piazza and staff actually say hello. It is not just all for show, there is a proper concierge, ready to help with anything from dry cleaning to finding the best spot for your next morning latte. Shoreditch is a real neighbourhood, you know, with coffee places everywhere. Most days you see people on bikes and sometimes kids sprinting past, so it never feels cold or too polished.

And when you check out the amenities, you see why people chat about living here. The pool is beautiful, the gym has room to move and not just rows of machines. There is even a cinema just for residents so you can catch a movie without leaving home. The residents lounge feels like that spot where you will run into a friendly face and you sometimes hear neighbours chatting over a glass of something in the evening. I also heard the spa is a bit of a secret retreat for unwinding. Underground bicycle storage and parking make life simpler too, if you need either of those.

It is rare to find an apartment in London that feels so balanced between city life and breathing space. This two bedroom penthouse for sale at Principal Tower Shoreditch is just one of those places that works for day to day living. Photos just hint at the feeling up here.
