Situated on Blackfriars Road, a leafy tree lined avenue in Southwark, residents here will enjoy all the luxuries and convenience of metropolitan living. With the cutting-edge contemporary design and beautiful craftmanship, the one, two and three-bedroom properties offer distinctive homes for sophisticated, London savvy buyers in search of a tranquil base in the city centre.


Surrounded by a rich blend of heritage and world-class culture, The Boulevard is in walking distance to impressive landmarks, all of which visible from the rooftop terrace, which showcases mesmerising 360-degree views of the London skyline. Krete Luca, Sales Director at Latimer comments: “The Boulevard encapsulates an idyllic London lifestyle; exciting city living existing harmoniously with a calm way of life. Expansive private rooftop gardens provide an oasis of calm, opulent apartments offer the ease of a custom designed modern space and the unique district is a hub of incredible amenities.


Once life resumes, residents at The Boulevard will be well positioned to relish London’s pleasures. In the meantime, the development offers tranquillity and beautiful city sights and architecture to feed the soul, in a relatively undiscovered central neighbourhood.”

Harnessing 1920’s glamour and reflecting the location’s heritage, The Boulevard’s elegant external brickwork encases a sophisticated Art Deco style interior, beginning with a stunning lobby area which provides a bold first impression. Hotel-style concierge greet visitors and residents upon arrival and the 43 spacious apartments are equally sophisticated, with exquisite bespoke details and luxury finishes on display. Each home features its own private terrace or balcony, with many boasting more than one, whilst the penthouse three-bedroom apartment enjoys a vast wrap around terrace. All residents enjoy access to the landscaped roof terraces and their panoramic London views.


Internally, Cardamono Grande Oak timber flooring, recessed LED lighting, Siemens integrated appliances and customised kitchen units with bespoke surfaces in Sanded Birch create a polished look. The Penthouse has the opulence expected of a master-suite of this calibre, providing impressive space and spectacular views.


The Borough of Southwark is steeped in history and characterised by typically attractive London Squares and hidden gems. The local London scene offers a vast selection of incredible eateries from fine dining to street food, unlimited culture and a cutting-edge art scene. Shaped by the river and the railways, today the district is a wonderful mix of history, modernity and creativity. Highlights include, Old Union Arches, The South Bank, which has been a destination since the 19th century, The Royal Festival Hall, The Tate Modern, Shakespeare’s Globe, The London Eye and Borough Market. Blackfriars Road itself is immersed in its own history. On the south end, visitors will discover St George’s circus and the obelisk, a local landmark designed by Robert Mylne, the architect of Blackfriars Bridge.


A borough renowned for its aspirations, it continues to evolve and the much talked about Low Line project, which is creating a new walkway and a string of arts and leisure filled spaces from Borough to Bermondsey, will add further interest.


Buyers here will have London’s incredible infrastructure, rail networks, underground, bus and boat services at their disposal. Southwark tube station is a three-minute stroll away and London Waterloo a ten-minute walk. Cyclists are also well positioned to enjoy the safe Cycleways, in particular the CS6, a dedicated bike lane that runs from Farringdon to Elephant and Castle. Each resident of The Boulevard can take advantage of a free three-year car club membership with £50 introductory driving credit.


A true celebration of London lifestyle, prices at The Boulevard start at £685,000 for a one-bedroom apartment.
