Large High-Floor Apartment

Some homes just have a way of making you pause the moment you step inside. This large high floor apartment up in Principal Tower, right in the heart of Shoreditch London, really does that for me. You come in and there is this quiet hum to the place, something about being that far above the city with all that open sky around you. Honestly I caught myself standing by the window just taking in the views. Even after years in property, these kind of moments still get to me. It is like the whole skyline is just there for you.

Up here, the apartment feels a bit like your own retreat. There are two terraces and both give sweeping views across London, city lights at night and sometimes those mornings where the fog rolls in quietly. You can't help but picture yourself taking coffee outside on one of those fresh days, looking out as everything wakes up below. These terraces are not just a nice extra. They really do change how you feel in the home. Light pours in and the city feels close but also distant enough that you get your peace.

Inside, the space just flows. The living room is open plan, but not cold or empty. It actually feels like a spot where you'd want to settle for the evening, not just a showpiece room. You notice little touches, like the way the light finds the corners as it moves through the day. The kitchen is part of this shared space, and it is the kind where you could cook a real meal or just chat with someone while you get breakfast going. There are homes that feel too pristine to live in, but honestly this isn't one of those. It is still sharp, still new, but just lets you be yourself.

Both master bedrooms have their own bathrooms, and it feels like each one got its own share of the view too. I always check for storage in these types of apartments and it is all built in, with closets ready to go. You'd be surprised how many places forget that bit. The guest bedroom is a little more tucked away but still gets good light, honestly a friend or family member would feel right at home staying over. There is another guest bathroom, enough space to keep everyone comfortable so no waiting in the mornings.

The building itself, Principal Tower, feels safe and friendly. You get the sense of coming home the minute you hit the piazza out front. It is all landscaped and there is that quiet buzz of people coming and going. The concierge staff are there if you need them, round the clock, which is a real comfort especially if you are getting in late or coming back from a trip. The gym is honestly one of the better ones you'll find in London apartments right now, and there is also a lap pool and a spa for when you feel like unwinding. You spot people using the cinema now and then which is a fun touch, especially on a rainy evening. Plus there is a private lounge if you feel like meeting friends or getting some work done outside the apartment. There is underground bicycle storage, too, and dedicated parking you can look into if you need it. Shoreditch is full of little coffee shops and places to wander. You see kids biking in the evenings and there's a creative energy to the area that is hard to find anywhere else in the city.

Being this close to the City of London means your commute is easy, and places like Liverpool Street station are just around the corner. You are both in the middle of it all and also above it all, which just feels easy once you start living here.

It is hard to sum up in words what it is like up there on a high floor at Principal Tower. Sometimes you almost forget your phone and just stand at the window watching the clouds moving. The only way to know if it feels right is to come and see it for yourself. If you want to walk through or just have a chat, get in touch any time.
