About this property
Lying in The Tapestry Building, an 18th-century warehouse originally built by the East India Company, this expansive apartment brings a rare sense of volume and character to the heart of the City. Positioned on the second floor and one of just two apartments on the level, it feels private despite its central setting, with a boutique quality that is increasingly hard to find in this part of London. Accessed through a courtyard behind wrought-iron gates, the building makes an immediate impression.

The agent hasn't said which band this home is in; you can look it up on GOV.UK. In Tower Hamlets, 2026/27 bills run from £1,225 a year in band A to £3,676 in band H.
Figures from MHCLG (Open Government Licence v3): the average bill for each band across Tower Hamlets, including the typical parish precept, so a parish's own bill can differ a little. Discounts lower the bill, such as 25% off for an adult living alone.
