Words: Charlie Thomas
Go anywhere else in the country, and £600k will go a long way. If you’re looking to purchase in the capital however, you’ll get considerably less for your money, although this does mean that you’ll be able to reside in one of the most vibrant cities in the world. There are some gems to be picked up though, which offer fine views and surprisingly large interiors. Here’s what £600k will buy you in 5 London boroughs.
TOWER HAMLETS
This 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, second floor apartment measures in at 1,058 sq ft. It’s party trick is the incredible balcony view, which stretches across to the Canary Wharf skyline.
Free Trade Wharf, 340 The Highway, E1W 3ET costs £600,000 from Savills
WANDSWORTH
This modern two-level flat is located next door to leafy Wandsworth Common as well as nearby the stylish Northcote Road. Its clean, white-walled interior also provides a great canvas for the discerning buyer.
East Hill, SW18 2QB costs £599,950 from Savills
KENSINGTON & CHELSEA
You might not think it possible to find somewhere in Kensington for under £600k, but this charming 2 bedroom flat costs (just) £550,000.
Stafford Terrace, Kensington, W8 costs £550,000 from Knight Frank
NEWHAM
This brand new waterfront village may not be for some, but there’s no denying the potential of this £3.5 billion investment zone. Half a kilometre of south facing river can be seen from the top suites, making this one investment hard to turn down.
Royal Wharf, E16 costs from £480,000 from Knight Frank
CAMDEN
Located in the striking Carlow House development, this loft-style apartment looks like a film set. With plenty of natural light, as well as an unrivalled location, near both Camden High Street and Regent’s Park, it’s practically a steal.
Carlow House, Carlow Street, NW1 7LH costs £540,000 from Savills
