If you want an exclusive apartment with panoramic views of the river Thames, don’t miss this stunning development when you’re searching for Battersea property to rent.
Battersea Reach is now a familiar London landmark, instantly identified by its four distinctively shaped, high-rise blocks that appear to cascade down towards the water. The towers’ sloping design provides a series of magnificent terraces overlooking the river.
With underground parking and green, landscaped spaces, this 13.3 acre development has transformed an ugly industrial site that previously housed a gin distillery, an oil depot and warehouses. The buildings were demolished in 1992; in 2002 master property developer St George began construction on a mixed development of homes and office space.
The site continues to expand and spring 2018 will see the opening of two new high-rise towers. Meridian House and Nautical House will not only provide more homes (including a £10m+ triplex penthouse with private glass lift, bar and concierge), it will also provide 10,500 square feet of new offices, shops and restaurants.
When complete, this exclusive development will offer 1,341 homes plus 194,000 square feet of commercial space and seven acres of public open space, including a new park with meadow planting to support native species of birds and insects.

Shopping and Leisure

Living here you’ll not only enjoy great river views, you’ll be just a short walk away from Wandsworth’s town centre shopping (Southside Shopping Centre) and the characterful shops, pubs and cafés that cluster around Old York Road. Alternatively, you can pop across the river and enjoy all the sophisticated shopping and dining experiences that Fulham and Chelsea have to offer.

Of course, you may prefer to stay at home, as Battersea Reach is fast becoming a destination in its own right. Attractions include an award-winning tidalwalk that uses the latest ecological methods to encourage wildlife, including natural meadow planting, nesting boxes and roosting posts for wild birds. There are excellent restaurants and cafes, such as Cake Boy French Patisserie, Edible Kitchen and the popular Young’s Waterfront Bar and Restaurant – a great place to sit with a drink and watch the river’s ebb and flow. There’s also a convenience store, a beauty salon, a health clinic, a nursery and two gyms.
