1 Bedroom Apartment in Nine Elms, London

Some homes feel different as soon as you step inside and honestly this one bedroom apartment at Aykon Nine Elms in London is one of those. It is not just about the Versace touch or the high end feel you get from the moment you open the door although that is hard to ignore. When I visited the first time I just paused for a second because the sunlight finds its way through the big windows and spreads itself right across the wooden floor in the bedroom. You almost forget you are in a city like London for a moment especially if you catch that early morning stillness. You wake up here and it just feels easy to start your day. No rush. You pad across the floor maybe make a coffee and just stand there for a bit enjoying the quiet.

The apartment itself feels surprisingly spacious for central London. With about six hundred sixty three square feet you do not feel boxed in at all. One bedroom does not mean one size fits all here. There is room to actually live not just sleep. The kitchen is one you could cook for real in. I checked out the appliances and they are all built in and actually feel proper like you would want if you like to make a meal sometimes not just reheat takeout. The countertops are solid stone which look beautiful but also stand up to everyday use and they clean up easily. No worries if you like to cook up something messy every now and then. The living and dining space flows together so you can actually have a few friends over and you are not bumping into each other the whole time. Big windows mean plenty of natural light too.

It is not just the inside that gets you. Aykon Nine Elms itself stands out in London and it is not just the Versace name everywhere although I cannot pretend that does not feel special. You can pop down to the indoor pool and what really gets your attention are the mosaic walls all custom made by Versace itself. I sat for a moment watching the water reflect patterns onto the tiles and it is oddly calming. The gym is surrounded by glass walls so you do not feel shut in even on those days you are just checking off a workout from the to do list. There is even a private cinema you can book for movie nights which is kind of perfect if you just want to stay in and avoid the city. The shared lounge areas are all decorated with proper Versace pieces too but the vibe is more laid back living room than anything too formal. You could actually see yourself reading there or just having coffee with a neighbour.

One of the things that really adds to it is the rooftop gardens. They have these patches of green that honestly feel rare this close to the river in London. If the weather is good you get these open air spaces to yourself with full city and river views. I stood up there for a bit and watched the Thames winding through the city. You see families biking along the riverside walkways and kids playing in their own little area right inside the building which is different for this part of London. The local Nine Elms community is busy but not crazy and it is easy to find coffee shops or bakeries just outside but you do not have to leave the building for anything if you do not feel like it.

Aykon is really good about services too and it matters. There is concierge service someone to help you with the little things and you can even get food brought up or use housekeeping. Valet parking is there if you drive so you just hand over the keys and forget about it. All these extras just make daily life a little simpler.

Honestly with this spot you get a comfortable London city base with all those lifestyle extras and you are in a building that actually pays attention to the details. If you are thinking about a good investment in London or a place to call your own that is still easy to lock and leave it is worth seeing in person. You can ask me anything or just come take a look and see if it feels right to you. At LuxuryProperty.com we want your next move to be as easy as possible.
