In terms of residences that we'd love to move into, The Capston might rank number one – and it hasn't even been built yet. This gorgeous Art Deco-inspired development from the experts at Ballymore is due to be completed in Embassy Gardens in 2028. We were lucky enough to attend a preview evening, showcasing the plans for the development and a full-sized imitation apartment – there will be 247 in total. 

"We wanted to create a building that will push Ballymore to new heights," said Sean Mulryan, founder and CEO of the Ballymore Group. "The Capston will be the final and most coveted location at Embassy Gardens, destined to take its place among the historic addresses bordering the great River Thames." 

Art doesn’t just hang on the walls at The Capston – it practically takes up residence. The building’s amenity spaces read like a love letter to creativity: an artists’ parlour, library and drawing room where you can lose an afternoon to the collection (and maybe your thoughts), plus a private lounge and dining room dressed head-to-toe in bespoke furniture from specialist artisans. There’s even a wellness centre kitted out with all the latest wizardry, and a 24-hour concierge backed by an on-site porter house – not the steak, sadly, but equally reliable.

Service here is less “press one for housekeeping” and more “consider it done.” The concierge team is on hand day and night, offering the kind of discreet, tailored help that makes life glide. Restaurant bookings? Sorted. Spa days? Already pencilled in. Private chef? Personal trainer? Someone to pick up the parcels you forgot you ordered? They’ve got it covered – and probably know someone who can get it done better. Think of them as your friendly neighbourhood fixers, only with nicer uniforms.

Step outside and the perks continue. Residents get access to Embassy Gardens’ full suite of amenities – including the famous Sky Pool (the one that looks like it’s levitating between buildings – because it is). The neighbourhood itself has been a decade in the making, a Ballymore creation now humming with independent cafés, restaurants and bars. Battersea Power Station is down the road, King’s Road a short hop away – proof that you don’t need to travel far for good food, good company, or a good excuse to never cook again.

Make no mistake, this will be one of the most coveted addresses in London, the crown jewel of an already exceptional location. Make sure you're in on the action. 

The Capston is due to complete in 2028; prices range from £750,000 to £7million. Find out more here
