Aurora Point, London SE8 3FQ

“Sweeps of glazing anchor the apartment in its arresting waterside setting”

Set on the eighth and ninth floors of Aurora Point, part of the Surrey Quays Marine Wharf East landmark development, this two-bedroom split-level apartment occupies a sought-after waterfront location. Care of the apartment’s elevated position, the interiors capture unobstructed views of some of London’s most iconic sites through walls of glazing and a panoramic south-facing terrace. Positioned by the South Dock Marina and Greenland Dock, the immediate setting is popular for riverside walks along the Thames Path.

The Architect

BUJ Architects is an award-winning practice, with a strong focus on architecture with a 'clear identity' that works in harmony with its surroundings. The practice's ever-evolving principles are driven by critical thinking and development within the worlds of art, architecture and construction. The building has secure entry, a concierge, communal gardens, a bicycle store and a lift to the upper floors.

The Tour

The apartment opens onto a bright entrance hall, flooded with natural light from glazing along one wall opening to the terrace. The gaze opens out to incredible, far-reaching views of the Thames from the foot of the door and continuing throughout the apartment.

The design’s approach to light and flow is epitomised in the open-plan kitchen and living room. Bright west-facing windows bathe the room in natural light, with distinct areas for cooking, dining, and sitting. The kitchen has clean lines and contemporary cabinets, incorporating storage and integrated Smeg appliances. Notably, the room also has spectacular views across the London skyline.

Upstairs, two bedrooms feature floor-to-ceiling windows and walnut joinery. The principal bedroom is brightened by windows on two sides, and has a large en suite lined with earthy-toned tiles from Caesar Ceramics. Just off the landing, a shared bathroom houses a bath with an overhead shower.

Outdoor Space

The apartment has a fantastic south-facing terrace that feels both open and incredibly secluded. Views sweep over the cityscape beyond and the riverside below, and there is plenty of space for dining in warmer months. The development also benefits from communal gardens.

The Area

The apartment is conveniently positioned near Deptford, Bermondsey and Greenwich. There are several beautiful parks in the local vicinity including Deptford Park, Stave Hill Ecological Park and Southwark Park, which houses an art gallery. The Thames Path is a short walk away for idyllic riverside walks into the city.
