Embassy Gardens - Property Development in Nine Elms, SW8, London

Even before it was completed, Embassy Gardens was generating excitement in London as a must-see for corporate professionals looking to rent in the Capital. This was because of a startlingly original leisure facility that allows residents to actually swim across to their neighbours while remaining ten storeys above street level. The Skypool feature marked Embassy Gardens as a new property development to watch and has set the tone for the rest of the Nine Elms regeneration area in SW8.

 
Situated just a couple of blocks back from the Thames behind the new American embassy building, Embassy Gardens fits right into the growing diplomatic quarter with a gleaming lobby, concierge service and private gyms and screening rooms. It also opens up onto a linear park that runs from Battersea to Vauxhall and allows for plenty of outdoor leisure activities all along the Thames path. The interiors of the one, two and three bedrooms in Embassy Gardens are roomy, well-designed and enjoy plenty of natural light.

 
A whole new cluster of restaurants and shops is planned for the area and an extension of the Northern Line Tube network will ensure that residents enjoy a quick and easy commute into the West End and the City. That is not to say that Embassy Gardens is isolated. Vauxhall Station is five minutes' walk away and runs overground trains to Waterloo Station which has a direct link to Bank in the City. The Victoria Tube line also runs from Vauxhall and is just two stops from the Gatwick Airport express link at Victoria and a fifteen minutes from the Eurostar terminus at St Pancras. This connectivity makes forays into the museum and shopping districts of Chelsea and Kensington a simple and pleasurable experience.
