London’s best kept secret

Signature Place is situated within one of London’s hidden gems. As Taylor Wimpey unveil their latest development in the capital, Tania Jacobs went along for a tour

Nestled between the dynamic neighbourhoods of Bloomsbury, King’s Cross, Clerkenwell and Farringdon is a pocket of the capital which has long flown under the radar.

Now, at the centre of these hubs of literature, learning and creativity, a new neighbourhood is emerging: Postmark - the landmark development transforming the site of Royal Mail’s Mount Pleasant sorting office.

A beautiful collection of 109 apartments across two striking buildings, Signature Place also introduces an impressive 6,000 square foot Wellness Centre – offering prospective buyers the very first insight into the unique lifestyle and amenities on offer.

Creating a new destination in central London, in total Postmark will create 681 new homes across 6.25 acres, alongside an abundance of public spaces including gardens with play spaces and squares surrounded by new ground-level commercial spaces – bringing an exciting new retail offering to the area. With four distinct phases, each designed by a different architect to reflect the architectural mosaic of the area, Signature Place showcases the design aesthetic of accomplished British architectural practice, Feilden Clegg Bradley.

The new range of one, two and three-bedroom apartments feature floor-to-ceiling windows, providing exceptional views across the city, while private podium gardens and roof terraces offer tranquil retreats for residents. Harnessing five-star hotel-style living, the Wellness Centre provides exemplar facilities including a sauna, jacuzzi, 18m swimming pool, experience shower and state-of-the-art gym.

The capital on your doorstep

With its near-unrivalled connectivity – including five underground tube stations within a 10-minute walk – residents can enjoy the length and breadth of the city from east to west. Further bolstering Postmark’s connectivity credentials, Crossrail’s arrival in summer 2021 will allow residents to get from A to B with ease. With its unique position across two postcodes; WC1 and EC1, Postmark is the gateway between the traditional west end and the industrial east - a melting pot of tastes, styles and cultures.

Cultural and educational hub

With several world-leading universities in close proximity, including the London School of Economics, King’s College London and University College London, homes at Signature Place are well-placed for budding students. Nearby iconic institutions which anchor London’s position as a leading cultural hub include The British Museum and The British Library, as well as local favourites such as Sadler’s Wells Theatre and The Barbican Centre.

Going beyond universities, museums and theatres, a thriving restaurant and bar scene surrounds Postmark. Enjoy fine dining at The Royal Exchange in the City of London, up-and-coming bars such as Oriole in Smithfield Market and restaurants which push culinary boundaries, like The Clove Club in Shoreditch – there’s something for everyone.

Apartments at Signature Place start from £950,000, with first completions scheduled for Q3 2022.
