A 25-metre swimming pool suspended between two apartment blocks 10 storeys up is part of a new development near the former Battersea power station. Residents of the buildings, where flats cost upwards of £602,000, will be able to swim between the two, and recover from their exertions on a sky deck which boasts a spa, summer bar and orangery with views of the Houses of Parliament.
Regal Greenwich complements its village feel with some grand architecture, grassy parkland and riverside pubs. Brixton has the creative edge in its revitalised market, Clapham and Battersea are full of hidden gems, while Dulwich Village is all leafy charm.
