Occupying the whole of the sixth floor within Peninsula Heights, this is not simply an apartment, it is a magnificent private lateral residence suspended above the Thames.

With true quadruple aspect exposure and glazing on all sides, the apartment wraps the entire footprint of the building, delivering uninterrupted and ever changing views across London’s most recognisable landmarks. The River Thames flows directly below, while the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben sit framed as if commissioned. Morning light, afternoon reflections and evening skyline views are all captured from within one continuous floorplate.

Rarely does a high quality London apartment offer this degree of scale, light and privacy in such a central position along the Embankment.

Design and Specification:
Comprehensively reimagined and executed to an exceptional standard, the interiors balance architectural clarity with quiet luxury.

Restoration Hardware styling provides cohesion and proportion throughout, while bespoke joinery creates a seamless environment from the study and cinema room through to the dressing suite and bathrooms. This is a home that has been designed holistically rather than assembled.

At the centre sits a statement kitchen created for serious entertaining. Wolf and Sub Zero appliances anchor the space, complemented by dual sinks, dual dishwashers and two Quooker taps. Backlit onyx surfaces and a dedicated wine room introduce depth and theatre, while Fendi timber flooring grounds the scheme with warmth and texture.

The entire apartment is operated via a Savant smart home system, allowing seamless control of lighting, heating, speakers and integrated sound throughout. Sonos speakers are installed across the residence, delivering discreet, high quality audio in every principal room.

Underfloor heating and full air conditioning ensure comfort is consistent across all seasons.

Bathrooms Inspired by The Dorchester:
The bathrooms take inspiration from The Dorchester, combining hotel level indulgence with residential permanence.

Clad in marble and detailed with warm metallic accents, they feature sunken baths designed for long, immersive relaxation, expansive double showers, and generous double vanity arrangements with twin sinks. Lighting is soft and architectural, enhancing the materiality rather than overpowering it.

Several suites incorporate discreetly positioned WCs for privacy, alongside a Japanese smart toilet installation that elevates comfort and functionality to international luxury standards.

The result is spa level design that feels considered, calm and indulgent rather than ostentatious.

Layout and Flexibility:
The principal suite is positioned for privacy and panoramic views, complete with an expansive dressing room and statement bathroom.

Three further bedrooms provide generous accommodation, while a particularly rare feature is the fully self contained one bedroom apartment integrated into the floorplate. Ideal for guests, staff or older children, it offers autonomy without compromise, effectively delivering two residences within one.

The lateral configuration makes the space highly adaptable depending on lifestyle, whether formal entertaining, family living or secure pied à terre.

Wellness and Outdoor Space:
Four private balconies track the arc of the building, capturing light across the day and offering direct engagement with the river.

The wellness provision is unusually comprehensive for a private apartment, including a three person red light therapy sauna, steam room and professional grade ice bath. This is a genuine recovery suite, more private members club than conventional riverside flat.

The Building:
Peninsula Heights offers 24 hour concierge, a private residents gym and secure underground parking with three allocated spaces. The apartment is held with a share of freehold and can be acquired fully furnished for immediate occupation.

Location:
Albert Embankment sits on the South Bank of the Thames between Westminster and Vauxhall, positioning you at the intersection of political London, the West End and the cultural South Bank.

The Houses of Parliament are moments away, St James’s and Mayfair are reached across Westminster Bridge, and Battersea Power Station and Nine Elms are close by. Vauxhall station provides Underground and mainline connectivity, while Westminster is within walking distance.

The result is a setting that combines postcard views with genuine practicality.
