Elegant 2-Bedroom Apartment in Maine Tower, Harbour Central, Canary Wharf, London

Some places just immediately change your pace. Maybe it is the way the sunlight hangs in the air when you walk in or maybe the hush you notice from being up so high. This two bedroom apartment in Maine Tower at Harbour Central sits up on the thirty eighth floor and, to be honest with you, there is a calm up here that is hard to find anywhere in London. If you have ever wanted to see the city the way birds do, just take a moment by the living room window and watch Canary Wharf wake up below you. Sometimes I forget my phone in my bag here because the skyline does all the entertaining.

The apartment just feels right the moment you step through the door. It is not trying too hard. There is this quiet mix of cool shades on the walls and the deep walnut floor under your shoes is warm and smooth. You will notice as you settle in, the space is open and kind of flows, so you never feel boxed in. The lounge and dining area blend together in a way that seems made for easygoing weekends. Slide the glass doors open and the terrace really pulls you outside. It is roomy enough for a small gathering or simply a chair and a book while the city glows at night. I stood out here for a while last week, just listening to the city hum. You would not believe how peaceful it is, even being so close to everything.

Both bedrooms are done in this lovely oatmeal shade and the carpets make you want to kick your shoes off and sink in after a long day. Sometimes bedrooms in apartments can feel more like an afterthought, but here they actually feel like somewhere you would want to rest. When you wake, the same floor to ceiling windows fill the space with morning light and you can watch the riverboats making their way through the docks if you feel like it. There are built in wardrobes neatly tucked away, so you don't have to play Tetris with your clothes either.

The kitchen does not disappoint either. It is set along one wall in the open space and honestly, it feels like a place you would want to cook more than just toast. There are modern fittings, everything close at hand, and the view is not bad if you are waiting for your kettle to boil. The bathrooms have a spa feeling with clean finishes and soft lighting. It is the sort of place where, after a busy day in the city, you can close the door and just take a little time for yourself.

Maine Tower is part of Harbour Central so you are in one of those places where it is all happening around you but your own space is a true escape. The amenities are not just a tick box either. There is a proper gym with real weights and enough room to avoid bumping elbows. If Pilates or a workout with a trainer is your thing, you will find a full setup here. For winding down, there is a spa with a sauna and steam room that actually leaves you feeling a little lighter, plus a treatment suite if you ever want a massage after a long week.

What is a little unexpected for the area is the twenty seat private cinema so you can watch your favourite films without lining up or searching for popcorn at midnight. The shared lounges feel welcoming, not stiff. Sometimes you'll see a few neighbours reading in the library or having a quiet drink in the cocktail bar after work. The team at the door always seem to remember your name and there's a sense someone's keeping an eye out for you.

Around here, the neighbourhood does most of the talking. If you are heading for work, you can be at the DLR or tube within ten minutes, even on a rainy morning. Everything from high end places to grab dinner or quick coffee shops are close so your weekends never feel stuck. I have noticed the local bike paths buzz with people in the evenings. There are galleries, riverside walks, honestly something for anyone who likes city life but wants a bit of calm too.

The only real way to see if it fits is to visit. It is a home that feels like a retreat but stays connected to all things London.
