5 bed flat for sale

New Globe Walk, London SE1

Set across the top two floors of Benbow House, this is the largest apartment within the building — a near-5,000 sq ft residence with panoramic views that stretch from St Paul’s Cathedral across the Thames to the Shard and beyond. With 7-metre-high ceilings, multiple private terraces, and walls of glass that flood the space with light, this is a rare opportunity to own a true statement home above one of London’s most iconic cultural stretches.

Accessed via lift on both floors, the apartment offers lateral-style living across two levels, combining architectural volume with practical function. A 24-hour concierge, two secure underground parking spaces, three private storage rooms, ev charging, and a climate-controlled wine cellar are all included.

The main living space is defined by its 7m vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, wide oak plank flooring, and dramatic glazing — framing uninterrupted views of London’s most recognisable landmarks. Adjacent to this is a dining area, a sleek Poggenpohl kitchen, utility room, a guest bedroom suite, and a second reception room that mirrors the volume and light, with views west over The Globe, Tate Modern, and the Thames. A sweeping curved terrace runs the full length of the western side of the apartment, offering multiple outdoor areas to relax or entertain.

From both principal living spaces, floating staircases rise to the upper floor, preserving the open flow of the architecture. This level includes a mezzanine study, further reception space, three additional bedrooms, a gym (which could serve as a fifth bedroom), and a peaceful sitting area.

The standout principal suite features full-height windows, a private terrace overlooking the river, a walk-through dressing room, and a beautifully appointed en-suite bathroom with double sinks, a walk-in shower, a freestanding bathtub, and a sauna with direct views of St Paul’s Cathedral.

Bankside Pier, located just outside the building, offers a convenient 15-minute Thames Clipper commute directly to Canary Wharf.

Its riverside location also delivers postcard views across the Millennium Bridge to St Paul’s and the City, while also placing the West End and Square Mile within easy walking distance.
