In the heart of London, where the skyline is as dynamic as its history, the allure of penthouse living is unmatched, particularly when it comes to those that grace the banks of the River Thames.
Penthouses in particular represent the apex of urban living. The panoramic views, abundant natural light, and privacy they afford are just the beginning. In London, a city where space is at a premium, these top-floor residences offer a rare commodity: a sense of openness amidst a bustling metropolis.
Are you on the lookout for a new home that stands out from the ordinary? We’ve curated a collection of penthouses currently for sale through Cluttons in SE1 and SE16, each offering a unique perspective on one of the world’s most iconic cities.

The iconic Butlers Wharf Building is a prime example of this blend, with its historical facades and modern interiors. Southwark Bridge Road and The Triangle are nestled within this eclectic district, offering residents immediate access to the arts, fine dining, and green spaces such as the Jubilee Gardens.
