County Hall, 1 Belvedere Road, SE1
Originally opened in 1922 by King George V as the headquarters of London County Council and subsequently home to the GLC, it is an example of one of London’s finest buildings as well as being the home to the London Eye, London Aquarium, and five star Marriott Hotel.
The County Hall Apartments by Galliard Homes is a luxury development located in the heart of central London, comprising over 605 apartments. It is situated adjacent to the landmark London Eye and Westminster Bridge and close to the South Bank and London Waterloo.
The development is made up of four blocks, two of which were converted from the former hub of local government to the stylish and comfortable apartments they are today. They vary from unique studio apartments to stunning triplex, three-bedroom penthouses, all of which are finished to the highest of specifications.
The Edwardian-style building features well-kept landscaped communal gardens, a residents-only gym, a swimming pool, a sauna, and a steam room.
The development also features secure entry systems and 24-hour concierge, underground parking, and lift access within each main building. The entrance foyers are both comfortable and welcoming, with classic design, soothing colours, and displays of fine art.
The area is a key hub for entertainment, culture, creative industries, education, and sustainability, and is a vibrant centre where tradition meets the cutting edge. Residents of County Hall can enjoy the nearby cultural South Bank with its eclectic and artistic feel, stylish hotels, and boutique shopping. It is within 10 minutes walk of the Southbank Centre, National Theatre, and Oxo Tower for five-star cuisine. Residents can also cross over to Westminster for more cultural delights, Royal Parks, and inspiring landmarks.
County Hall is well-connected with Zone 1’s Waterloo and Westminster stations, both within short walking distance, offering speedy services across the capital and beyond.
