The Tower, One St George Wharf

The Tower, One St George Wharf, is a landmark residential tower located in Vauxhall, London SW8 2BW. The development, completed in winter 2013/2014, was delivered by St. George, a member of the Berkeley Group. The Berkeley Group has an established track record in complex urban regeneration and is a prominent UK housebuilder, with a focus on delivering high-quality homes and community infrastructure. The Tower stands as a focal point of the wider St George Wharf riverside complex, offering 223 cylindrical-design apartments across 50 storeys.

Property Details

The development comprises a range of luxury apartments, from Manhattan/studio-style units to expansive 4-bedroom suites and penthouses. Apartments available on the secondary market typically include 1, 2, and 3-bedroom residences. Specific luxury units, such as 'The Buckingham Suite,' occupy an entire floor, such as the 44th, offering unique 360-degree views of the London skyline.

The new build homes were completed to a high specification, featuring floor-to-ceiling windows to maximise the panoramic river and city vistas, comfort cooling, and automated winter gardens. Interior specifications typically include luxury finishes such as marble, glass, and walnut detailing. Furthermore, the building incorporates sustainable design elements, including a London Aquifer with heat pump technology for heating, and a wind turbine to power common areas.

Resident amenities are extensive and serviced by a 24-hour Harrods Estates concierge. World-class on-site facilities include a residents-only gymnasium, indoor swimming pool, spa, sauna, a private cinema, a business lounge, and communal landscaped gardens.

Practical Information

As a completed new build development from 2013/2014, all units are sold out by the developer. Availability is therefore limited to the resale market and is handled by independent estate agents. Indicative pricing on the secondary market shows one-bedroom apartments starting from approximately £550,000. Three-bedroom residences, depending on floor level and square footage, have been listed for sale around £1,800,000 (1,421 sq ft). Interested homebuyers should contact specialist local property agents to confirm current pricing, available property types, floorplans, service charge details (e.g., one-bedroom service charges have been noted around £10,579 per year), and to arrange a viewing.
