If you're a resident at City Road's new development, chances are you can walk to work. Situated in the heart of one of London’s most vibrant areas and very close to the City and the capital’s tech and creative quarters, the new scheme will comprise 930 homes, a 190-bedroom four-star hotel, office and retail space, all set within stunning architecture. The collection of studios, one, two and three-bedroom apartments and penthouses are arranged across eight buildings, including two towers reaching up to 42 floors for those sprawling city views. The apartments come with all the mod-cons, including Siemens integrated appliances, underfloor heating and private balconies. Other work distractions include access to a rooftop gym and terrace, a 20m indoor pool and spa, and 24-hr concierge services. Just make sure you invent a new excuse for being late into the office…
