London’s summer season is now well underway, and a new address comes to the market in the heart of the action – The Haydon, located in Aldgate, at the gateway to the City of London.
With central London’s thriving social scene now back in full swing, demand is once again rising for apartments in prime central London as buyers from across the globe look for a city base – with interest further bolstered by a rise in international travel and the limited supply of new properties in the Square Mile.
Representing the latest project from renowned developer, Regal London, The Haydon’s 87 luxury residences offer modern city living at its very best, bringing together exceptionally designed apartments, in an exciting, well-connected pocket of the capital.
The Square Mile lifestyle
The Square Mile is not only a global and economic business hub, but its eclectic and ever-growing lifestyle offering puts it at the forefront of the capital’s social scene – with Michelin-starred dining at the likes of Bob Bob Ricard City, City Social and Galvin La Chapelle, through to world-renowned private members’ clubs including The Ned, all within walking distance of The Haydon.
A shopper’s paradise, the City is home to retail destinations including the iconic Royal Exchange, which houses global brands such as Hermés, Montblanc, Fortnum & Mason, Boodles, Bremont and Tiffany & Co. Residents of The Haydon will also enjoy easy access to London’s wider shopping scene, from the boutiques of Old Bond Street to the independents of Old Spitalfields Market.
Combining couture with culture, many of London’s best-loved historic landmarks and institutions also sit within the Square Mile, from art galleries and museums through to world-famous music venues.
The Haydon is a stone’s throw from Aldgate Underground station, as well as the newly-opened Elizabeth Line from Liverpool Street – putting Bond Street within 7 minutes, London Paddington in 10 minutes, and Heathrow Airport in 35 mins. For travel further afield, Gatwick, and Stansted Airports are all reachable in around an hour.
The educated choice
London’s first-class educational offering draws students from around the world – making it no surprise that the capital is ranked as the best student city in the world, according to the QS World University Rankings. A wide range of top-performing universities, including King’s College London, SOAS, Imperial College and University College London are all within reach of The Haydon, while for younger students, the City is home to prestigious institutions including St Paul’s Cathedral School, City of London School for Boys and City of London School for Girls.
Striking new City residences
Set within a secluded landscaped courtyard, The Haydon establishes a contemporary new landmark for the City of London. International architecture practice, ACME, has taken a fresh approach to the project with a distinctive stepped design, which ensures not only a unique identity for the building, but also maximises privacy, space and light within each apartment.
Ludewig, Founding Director, ACME, comments: “A unique contemporary landmark, The Haydon is a hidden gem that considers nature and architecture as one. Visually striking, yet sensitively stitched into its urban context, The Haydon offers breath-taking views and the best of London, right on its doorstep."
The range of studio, one, two, three-bedroom apartments and penthouses seamlessly blend style and comfort, with generous open plan spaces and an unrivalled specification throughout. Residents also enjoy an impressive suite of amenities, including gym with spa pool, dedicated yoga room and fitness studio, and a state-of-the-art private cinema. Furthermore, beautifully landscaped gardens and an extensive 11th floor residents’ terrace provides residents with an urban oasis above the City.
Jacob Sullivan, Sales and Marketing Director, Regal London, comments: “London’s global status as a hub for dining, shopping and culture, as well as business, is long established. Now that the City is fully open for business, life in the capital is becoming more desirable than ever and the new residences at The Haydon represent an exciting opportunity for those wanting a luxurious base from which to enjoy everything the city has to offer.”
Prices start from £625,000.
