2 Bedroom Apartment in Nine Elms, London

Some homes just slow you down a bit when you step inside. This two bedroom apartment at Aykon Nine Elms in London did that for me right away. There is just something about the way the morning light falls across the hardwood floors in each bedroom. You start to notice little details every time you look around. It is that unique mix of modern London living and a quieter pace you do not often find right in the city. You can actually pause and just be here.

To be honest, I was drawn to the tall windows one morning and ended up just standing there, watching the skyline and the city wake up below. You get that classic London buzz but the apartment sits high enough that you feel a real sense of calm. As for the building itself, it is hard not to notice the difference. Interior design has been done by Versace Home and those special touches really jump out at you. From the signature tilework in the hallways and bathrooms to the solid stone worktop in the kitchen, every corner speaks of quality without trying too hard. The kitchen is a genuine place to cook. Plenty of space, real storage, everything you would want for whipping up dinner or just making a big pot of coffee on a weekend morning. With the open plan, the dining spot flows out to the living area, so you can talk to friends or keep an eye on whatever is baking.

The living room feels like a retreat. Some apartments can feel squeezed in but not here. There is a cozy space for a proper dining table, and the running space just works for busy weekdays or when you have people over for a relaxed evening. Both bedrooms tick the right boxes. Warm floors in the morning, windows that actually make you want to pause, clean lines everywhere but it never crosses over into cold or boring. Both bathrooms really feel like high end spaces but it is the master bath that gets you looking twice. The marble is not flashy, just well placed. You feel like you could almost spend too long winding down in there with the door closed and the day behind you.

Step outside and Aykon Nine Elms genuinely offers a few things you will not find everywhere in London. The fitness centre is practically all glass. I can imagine even the least motivated among us finding it easier to get a workout done when you have city views instead of blank walls. The swimming pool had me standing there longer than planned. The colourful Versace mosaic tiles under the water cast light everywhere and it might just be the calmest spot in the building. For evenings in, the private cinema is done up with as much style as the apartments, so it is actually a fun spot to bring friends and watch something on a Friday. Sometimes you even catch kids laughing in the play area and it makes the place feel truly lived in which is not the case in every new London development.

If you are someone who loves a view, you really cannot miss the rooftop gardens. You look out across almost all of London, right along the Thames. You may not usually care about views, but you end up lingering just to watch the world go by. Downstairs the residents lounge is so comfortable I can picture myself bringing a book and losing track of time before heading out to all the shops and riverside walks nearby. It is all genuinely easy here. You will find coffee shops and groceries close by, you are steps from the Underground or the bus, and you will probably see your neighbours headed out for a morning run along the river. Concierge, housekeeping, even valet, they are there if you want them but it does not feel overdone. You get choice, not pressure.

For one person or two, or even a small city family, the apartment never boxes you into any one lifestyle. Sometimes that is the hardest thing to find in London central. Price is two million five hundred seventy nine thousand three hundred thirty four AED and you will have a built up area of about one thousand fifty seven square feet to make your own. But honestly, any words fall short. Best thing is to come see for yourself. If you want to walk through or just chat about what life looks like here, reach out whenever you want.
