Principal Tower, Shoreditch, EC2

Designed by the team behind the iconic Gherkin building, Principal Tower offers a selection of one, two and three bedroom high-specification apartments arranged over sixty floors. Outstanding views of the London skyline and a convenient walk-to-work commute are just two of the factors that are making this property development popular with corporate professionals looking for apartments to rent close to the square mile. From its Art-Deco inspired wraparound balcony design, to its City-fringe location in fashionable Shoreditch, Principal Tower brings the creativity and ingenuity of a world-class city right to its residents’ doorstep.

Within easy walking distance from Liverpool Street Station, the development has fast become a local landmark; no mean feat when you consider that it shares the same thoroughfare as many of the famous buildings on London’s “Skyscraper Row”. Based in the impressive entrance lobby, the 24-hour concierge ensures that all facilities are kept in perfect working order. These include a fitness centre, spa room, residents’ cinema and a private lounge. The lobby opens out onto a spacious piazza that looks over to Spitalfields Market and Shoreditch Box Park, both of which are home to an extensive selection of high-quality eateries, hip bars and funky retail spaces.

Residents enjoy a wealth of travel connections with Liverpool Street being the City of London’s main transport hub. Central, Circle and Metropolitan Underground Lines are all interconnected under its roof and mainline routes cover Stanstead Airport and East London. The new Elizabeth Line will run a high speed service to Heathrow Airport, the West End and Canary Wharf.
