St George Wharf - Property Development in Vauxhall, SW8, London

St George Wharf can lay justifiable claims to having kick started the whole of the property regeneration phenomenon that has elevated high rise living on the southern banks of the Thames to one of London's most desirable rental options. Having launched the project in 2007, developers have more in the pipeline, including a plan for the nation's tallest residential-only block. Even without this, St George Wharf is the ideal combination of stunning views, luxury apartments and stress-free commuting. With on-site shops, restaurants and a 24 hour concierge service, you would be forgiven for thinking that Central London was a hundred miles away rather than a matter of two underground stops from the adjacent Vauxhall Tube station. 

Actually, if you rent an apartment at St George Wharf, you may never have to go near a Tube line. The development houses its own bespoke river taxi pier which is a stop off for the regular Thames Clipper service. Tenants here can therefore enjoy a hassle free journey into the West End, City and Docklands in one direction and Chelsea and Putney in the other. Victoria rail hub is a short stroll across the bridge and from there it's a simple matter catching the express train to Gatwick International Airport for a quick getaway. Fun-loving Brighton and the south coast are also within easy reach from Victoria. 

The design of St George Wharf is still guaranteed to bring a smile of fond recognition to the faces of residents in the SW8 postcode. The curved roofing, floor to ceiling windows and generous balconies make the development a true stand-out feature on a part of the Thames that definitely has an exciting time ahead of it.
