About this home

LARGE PENTHOUSE LIVING NEAR THE SAVOY!

A truly remarkable penthouse home on historic Essex Street, just a short stroll from The Strand, Covent Garden and Savoy hotel, situated on a tranquil lane near the River Thames.

Aldwych Chambers is a modern building but offers a unique glimpse into the past, located close to one of the last remnants of the ancient city wall that once surrounded London.

This spacious penthouse apartment boasts concierge, direct lift access, modern decor, a high specification and luxurious living with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, WC and large reception / dining & kitchen area spread over two floors.

One of its most impressive features is a spacious rooftop terrace which offers spectacular London skyline views and is accessed via the centerpiece glass staircase from the upper level.

Surrounded by the picturesque River Thames, Covent Garden, and the stunning Royal Courts of Justice, Aldwych Chambers enjoys easy access to an array of shops, bars, and restaurants. With the vibrant heart of Covent Garden and Theatreland within walking distance, this home is also well-connected to various transport options, including Temple Station (Circle & District Lines, 0.1 miles), City Thameslink (Thameslink, 0.4 miles), riverboat services, and multiple bus routes.
