Attitude Property Guide: Luxury London living with Lexicon
By Will Stroude
A not-so-little secret has emerged on London’s City Road. Lexicon is the latest development from Developer of the Year, Mount Anvil.
With its canal-side location, incredible views over the City and fantastic position between the buzz of Shoreditch and sophistication of Angel, it’s the epitome of luxury central London living.
Sleek and sophisticated
Delivered by world-renowned architects SOM, who designed the world’s tallest building – the Burj Khalifa in Dubai – Lexicon offers uninterrupted views over London. At 36 storeys, the slender glass tower, offering 146 private 1, 2, and 3 bed homes, is set to be the tallest in Islington. And, in this case, big also means beautiful. Inside, the apartments scream sophistication. Rich brown Unistone worktops feature in the stylish kitchens; beautiful mocha-coloured ceramic floor-tiles breathe warmth into the living areas; while floor-to-ceiling windows make the most of the incredible views.
Gadgets galore
As you’d expect from a modern, luxury development, there is plenty of gadgetry. The intuitive smart-home system, with wall-mounted touch-screen panels and smart-phone app, allows you to control everything in the palm of your hand – from the lights and the window-blinds to the comfort cooling system running throughout.
Dinners at Moro, desserts at Ottolenghi
Lexicon sits on City Road Basin, part of the Regent’s Canal and bordering Angel, Shoreditch, and Clerkenwell. Once a vital distribution point for goods into London, now it’s the setting for a wave of new architecture, homes and public spaces. Its great location means you are just a short walk away from nights out at Shoreditch House, dinners at Moro, desserts at Ottolenghi, and boutique shopping on Upper Street. Closer to home, Lexicon offers canal-side restaurants and cafes, 24 hour concierge service, a private residents’ lounge, and luxury spa and gym.
