A Riverside sanctuary in Zone 1, South Bank

South Bank is the southern part of the River Thames in London, extending from Lambeth to Blackfriars Bridge. Known as the art and entertainment district, this part of London has the perfect mix of culture, commerce, and connectivity. Tucked in between it all is The Edit.

The Edit is a development by Mount Anvil, one of London’s well-known boutique developers. It is an exclusive boutique residential building with only 95 private apartments located in one of London’s most cosmopolitan neighbourhoods, with a mix of studios to 3-bedroom apartments.

Today, it houses some of London’s most iconic landmarks, such as the Tate Modern, The Shard, and The London Eye, to name a few.
