Robert de Niro’s plush London pad goes on the market… and it could be yours for £1.5million
Loft apartment, on the mean streets of Southwark, boasts 360-degree views of iconic landmarks including St Paul's Cathedral and Tower Bridge
A PLUSH London flat belonging to Hollywood legend Robert De Niro has gone on the market for £1.5million.
The loft apartment, on the mean streets of Southwark, was snapped up by the 74-year-old Godfather actor for £750,000 in 2001.
Boasting floor-to-ceiling views of the capital's skyline the open-plan two-bed pad includes a high-spec kitchen with sleek stainless steel worktops and Brazilian walnut floors throughout.
The apartment also includes a 1,300sq foot outdoor terrace that looks out onto iconic landmarks including St Paul’s Cathedral, the London Eye, the Shard, Tower Bridge and Canary Wharf.
It's the first time the property, in the converted Hartley's jam factory, has been for sale on the open market.
Will Clark, Managing Director at SellMyHome.co.uk, said: "The Hartley’s Jam Factory, which dates back to the early 1900s when it was built for Sir William Hartley’s jam-making business, was redeveloped around 15 years ago.
"Since then, the area around it has undergone much change and is now a sought after location.
"We are thrilled to be selling the penthouse apartment which has never before been available on the open market.
"One of the most appealing characteristics of this property is its views.
"The views of some of London’s most iconic buildings either direct from the large roof garden of the property or from inside through the floor to ceiling windows are simply breathtaking.
"St Paul’s, the London Eye, the Shard, Tower Bridge and Canary Wharf are all visible from the apartment.”
In 2016 the Oscar-winner was granted planning permission for an 83-bedroom boutique hotel in Covent Garden.
