Cottage in London, United Kingdom

The Residence development in Nine Elms, London SW8. The development offers one, two and three bedroom apartments for sale. Amenities include an on-site gym, cinema room, private function room and a concierge service.

Transport accessibility

For commuters, The Residence will benefit from the extension of London Underground’s Northern Line to the area with the creation of two new stations at Nine Elms and Battersea Power Station. This will improve travel by tube into central, north and south London and is expected to be operational from 2020, with estimated journey times from Nine Elms to the City of just 12 minutes and to Westminster of eight minutes.

A proposed pedestrian and cycle bridge over the Thames will also connect this part of the south bank with Pimlico, which is close to Victoria mainline train station.

Currently, the nearest tube station is Vauxhall Underground Station (Victoria Line), less than 15 minutes’ walk from The Residence, while the nearest railway stations to the development are Queenstown Road and Battersea Park, around 20 minutes’ walk away (for services to London Bridge and London Victoria).

Education

For families, two new schools will be built as part of the creation of this new district, these are in addition to well-regarded current schools near the development, which include St George’s CE Primary, St Stephen’s CE Primary, and Griffin Primary.

Shopping

Shopping constitutes a major focus of the area’s transformation, with outdoor shopping areas and parades attracting retailers large and small, enhancing existing stores in the locality and the largest wholesale fruit, vegetable and flower market in the UK – New Covent Garden Market.
