LONDON SQUARE THE HEXON

SW11 4 trades at nearly £3k per square metre below the £13,730 median commanding Battersea Power Station just down the river. Same borough, same river, same postcode district but a materially lower entry point for buyers who understand where the real value sits.

Directly opposite Cheyne Walk, where Georgian townhouses trade from £2-4 million upward, Ransome’s Wharf offers the same river outlook and neighbourhood prestige from just £1.1 million. New-build quality at a fraction of the cost of crossing the water.

Dataloft data shows only around 11 new homes have entered the market west of Battersea Park in the past five years. Genuine riverfront land in this stretch simply doesn’t come available and when it does, demand vastly outstrips supply.

Unlike towering new-build stacks nearby, this is five low-rise blocks of four to nine storeys, designed with warehouse-inspired brick and metal detailing. Character-led architecture built on heritage tends to age well and hold buyer appeal for decades, not just a launch season.

New-build towers in the power station district carry service charges as high as £11.22 per square foot annually - a serious drag on yield. Traditional low-rise Battersea stock typically avoids that burden, protecting more of your rental income where it belongs; in your pocket.

This sits within Battersea’s established Creative Quarter, home to Foster + Partners, the Royal College of Art and Vivienne Westwood; genuine cultural infrastructure that existed long before construction began, not a district still waiting to find its identity. Its established residential demand amongst high earning professionals is proven and longstanding.

Developer London Square was acquired by Aldar at the end of 2023 and has aggressively expanded since, making this its 13th prime London site. Institutional backing behind the scheme reduces delivery risk relative to smaller, less-capitalised developers.

Battersea Park’s 200 acres of gardens, sports courts and riverside walks sit within 200 metres, an unrivalled and precious amenity. Proximity to established, protected green space is a permanent, unbuildable advantage over newer developments further from parkland.

Four stations sit within walking distance, plus Thames Clipper riverboat access representing multi-modal transport links into Central London, without the density and construction disruption still ongoing across the Nine Elms and Power Station corridor.
