Dream Home Hamptons Scandi Southbank London

Picture, if you will, a Scandinavian-designed penthouse apartment on the South Bank, with spectacular views across the river to St. Paul’s Cathedral. The dream? This extraordinary property spans the top two floors of Benbow House, offering nearly 5,000 sq ft of luxury living space, complete with a 24-hour concierge service, two parking spaces, three secure storage rooms, charging for electric vehicles, a wine cellar, and lift access to both floors.

The main living area is nothing short of breathtaking, featuring a 7m high ceiling with exposed beams, wide oak plank flooring, and expansive glass windows that perfectly frame iconic London landmarks. This floor includes a dining area, a Poggenpohl kitchen, a utility room, an additional living room, plus a guest bedroom suite. The secondary living room boasts double-height ceilings and tall windows offering views of The Globe, Tate Modern, and the Thames itself. A deep, curved panoramic terrace runs along the west side of the apartment, perfect for soaking in the sunset.

Ascending the stairs from either reception room reveals the first floor, designed with a seamless architectural flow. This level offers even more entertaining space, a mezzanine study, three additional bedrooms, a gym, and a quiet sitting room. The principal bedroom suite is a sanctuary with a walk-through wardrobe, an en-suite bathroom featuring double sinks, a walk-in shower, a freestanding tub, and a sauna, again with views of St. Paul’s, while the principal bedroom has full-height windows and a private terrace overlooking the river.

This unique penthouse apartment offers it all, combining architectural flair with remarkable vistas in a standout location. Situated on the vibrant South Bank, Benbow House offers unparalleled access to cultural hot spots like The Globe Theatre, Tate Modern, and Borough Market. The City and West End are within easy walking distance, too, and transport links are effortless with nearby underground and overground stations, as well as the Thames Clipper riverboat stopping right outside. All of it is at your feet.
