One Blackfriars SE1

One Blackfriars (or the Vase tower) on the South Bank, London SE1 is a spectacular addition to the city’s skyline and a superb high-quality residential development delivering a luxury collection of riverside apartments with the first-class block management and outstanding onsite facilities.

Developed by St. George of  Berkeley Group, One Blackfriars is designed by SimpsonHaugh Architects who shaped the tower after an inspiring Scandi domestic design piece – a vase. Subject to many objections while awaiting the planning permission, One Blackfriars is currently one of the most Instagramed central London glass clad landmarks reflecting beautifully the everchanging London landscape encompassing the City, the Thames and the sky above it.

One of the tallest residential buildings in Europe, the tower is approximately 170m high and raises up 50 floors. There are over 270 homes ranging from studio, Manhattan, one, two, three and four bedroom apartments and penthouses. Designed to meet the Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4, the tower has a triple glazed façade comprising an outer single skin, plus an internal double-glazed floor-to-ceiling panel and thermal zone. The upper floor apartments afford spectacular views of the Thames, the Houses of Parliament, the City, Canary Wharf and south London.

The luxury spa, gym, cinema, golf simulator and winery take over the base of the buildings and bespoke concierge services are on 24/7 along with valet parking.
