Project Overview

London Square Nine Elms is an exclusive development set within the heart of Nine Elms Park, one of the most ambitious and high-profile regeneration areas in central London. This prestigious address features a striking mix of contemporary architecture and elegantly appointed interiors, offering a new level of modern living just moments from the River Thames.

The site comprises multiple plots. Some we visited to view our Riser doors in situ were Block E, designated for private rental accommodation, and Block G, comprising high-end, private luxury apartments.

Design Vision

Designed by renowned architects Architectus, the scheme exemplifies bold, modern architecture with sophisticated façades and thoughtfully curated interiors. The apartments feature expansive balconies with stunning views over the Thames and the London skyline, setting a new benchmark for urban luxury.

The development harmoniously blends London City's convenience with tranquil green spaces, creating a destination for both residents and investors. This is London living, beautifully elevated — where design meets function in a vibrant new neighbourhood.
