This magnificent Neo Georgian building completed in 1920 as the headquarters of the Metropolitan Water Board. Before that, the site contained the offices of the New River Company, which helped supply London with water.

The windmill base, engine house and coal stores have been preserved on the site, to celebrate its industrial heritage. The seventeenth-century Oak Room from the former water house has also been preserved, and now provides a spectacular venue that can be rented out by residents.

The building contains a porter, an impressive entrance hall and a gym. Residents have off-street parking, their own storage space and access to a large communal garden.

The address is surrounded by cultural venues. This includes the newly opened Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration, Sadler’s Wells Theatre and the many restaurants and bars of Exmouth Market.

Several more cultural sites are a short walk away, such as Smithfield Market, the Barbican Arts Centre and the Museum of London (opening in 2027). Farringdon & Angel stations are also within easy reach.
