Occupying the entire top floor of a characterful warehouse conversion, with a private roof terrace that spans the full expanse of the building—a truly exceptional feature in Central London. This expansive outdoor space provides a seamless extension of the living accommodation, ideal for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying open views across the Borough skyline.
Internally, the apartment is flooded with natural light via six large south-facing windows, enhancing the sense of volume and openness throughout. The thoughtfully arranged open-plan layout incorporates an elegant in-frame kitchen with a sleek breakfast bar, perfectly suited to both everyday living and social occasions.
Flexible living is a defining feature of the apartment. Pocket doors allow the sleeping area and en suite bathroom to be discreetly separated, or fully opened to create a continuous flow through the space, drawing the eye towards a full-height mirror at the far end and amplifying the sense of scale.
Literary & Historical Setting
Lant Street and its surrounding streets are steeped in literary and cultural significance. Charles Dickens lived locally as a child, describing the area as “this happy retreat”, and a chapter of The Pickwick Papers unfolds just 100 yards from the apartment. Nearby, the church illustrated in Little Dorrit stands as a lasting reminder of Dickens’ deep connection to the area.
Borough High Street—only moments away—was historically the departure point for pilgrims, immortalised by Geoffrey Chaucer in The Canterbury Tales. The neighbourhood is also associated with Shakespeare, Marlowe, John Gower, and later Leigh Hunt, the poet and journalist imprisoned nearby for criticising the King and a close friend of Keats and Wordsworth.
Close by, Thrale Street takes its name from Henry and Hester Thrale, prominent 18th-century brewers. Hester Thrale, a close confidant of Dr Samuel Johnson, kept detailed diaries here that remain an important record of literary London, while the nearby Hop Exchange reflects Borough’s historic role as a centre of trade and commerce.
Location & Connectivity
Situated just minutes from the world-famous Borough Market and the vibrant South Bank, the area offers an exceptional mix of culture, restaurants, independent shops, and everyday amenities. Transport connections are excellent, with Borough Underground Station approximately three minutes’ walk, numerous bus routes on the doorstep, and easy pedestrian access past the Shard and across London Bridge into the City.
Cultural landmarks including the Globe Theatre, Tate Modern, National Theatre, Hayward Gallery, and Royal Festival Hall are all within easy reach, reinforcing Borough’s reputation as one of London’s most dynamic and well-connected neighbourhoods.
Offered to the market exclusively by Harding Green, this top-floor warehouse apartment with a full-span roof terrace represents a rare blend of architectural character, flexible modern living, and profound historical and literary heritage at the heart of SE1.
