Cosy Apartment in Principal Tower

Some homes just have this way of making you slow down for a second when you walk through the door. This two bedroom apartment up high at Principal Tower in Shoreditch really does that. Honestly, I remember leaning against the window one afternoon and just letting the city noises drop away for a while. You get all the buzz of London outside but up here there is a kind of hush you do not always find. The first thing people seem to notice is how open everything feels. The living area blends so easily with the kitchen so you never have that boxed in feeling. Even the breakfast bar somehow just invites you to settle in with a coffee. Imagine Sunday mornings, sunlight coming in, maybe catching up on emails or just watching the city wake up.

Kitchens matter to me and this one actually feels like somewhere you would want to cook. It is not just a spot to drop a takeaway bag. You have space, storage, and a setup that really works if you like to do more than just reheat leftovers. Plus there is that terrace right by the living room which is the sort of space you could use all year round. Whether you like reading outside as the city lights come on or want fresh air with a view you never get tired of, this just works. All the main rooms get these huge windows so it always feels bright and connected to the city but never overwhelming. Some evenings you spot a landmark out in the distance and sometimes you just watch the birds swoop by.

Both bedrooms have their own thing going on. The guest room with built-in storage is a simple solution, whether you have visitors or just need somewhere for more clothes. The master feels like a spot where you would really sleep in and not feel guilty about it. Mornings are just easier with the en-suite and walk-in closet. There is no complicated setup, just space where you need it and nothing you do not. Your guests also get their own bathroom so you do not have to worry about sharing on busy mornings or when you have friends over for a lazy brunch.

Downstairs actually deserves its own mention. I took a few minutes out in the landscaped piazza and watched people coming out with coffee or just standing there letting time slow down. It is quiet in a good way, even though Shoreditch is just outside. Concierge staff are honestly down to earth, not the stiff kind you sometimes meet. It is a small thing but it makes a big difference when you come home after a long day or need a hand with something unexpected. Amenities here actually get used too. There is a lap pool that is just perfect if you really want to swim and a spa that feels like an actual spot to switch off. The gym has everything you need for a real workout, not just a treadmill tucked in a corner. Plus, the cinema room gets some good use on rainy evenings. Private lounge spaces make it easy if you need to work from home but want a change of scene and you will notice there is dedicated storage for your bike so you do not have to wedge it in somewhere strange. You can buy a parking space if you want to, but honestly, lots of people ride or just stroll out to Liverpool Street station since it is so close.

The local lifestyle really comes through around here. You will see people heading to nearby Shoreditch for brunch or a quick coffee, then wandering back home in the evening when things get quiet. Walking or biking is just easy in this part of London and you are never far from something going on but you still get that private peaceful feeling up in your own place.

Photos might look nice but they only catch a bit of the feeling you get when the light moves across the space through the day. It is one of those spots where you probably have to visit before you know if it is right. If you want to know more or just walk around and see what life here could feel like, reach out any time.
