Lexington Gardens, Nine Elms, SW8

A prime location at the heart of the glamorous Nine Elms development scheme allows Lexington Gardens to provide an aspirational blend of luxury and convenience for a growing London workforce who love living in this Zone 1 location. Shows topping views of the River Thames from the one, two and three bedroom apartments are a main feature here, as are views of landscaped gardens and the new US embassy. The development also has an on-site gym, cinema room, private function room and a concierge service.

The contemporary design of the apartments in The Residence includes generously-proportioned balcony space, full-height windows and the latest in kitchen and bathroom technology. The Nine Elms area as a whole is set to be part of the revitalised southern shore of the Thames and will feature a linear park, various riverside restaurants and quality shopping.

The Northern Line extension will link the neighbourhood directly to the City. Vauxhall Station is a nearby Zone1 stop that already runs a Tube service directly into the West End and a mainline route to Waterloo.
