Frank Harris and Company’s Long Lane office is marketing a flat for rental in Norfolk House, Trig Lane EC4V 3QQ.  The property is notable because it has south-facing river views – making it one of the very select few in the City that directly overlooking the river.

All the rooms in the flat, plus a big balcony have awesome views over the river. Principal sights include: Tate Modern, Globe Theatre, Millennium Bridge, Southwark Bridge and the “Shard” (under construction). As well as being a rarely seen property, the location is quite interesting too – with history both ancient and modern, situated as it is between Queenhithe and the Millennium Bridge.

Says Ian Swale from Frank Harris and Company’s Barbican, City and Clerkenwell office: “Queenhithe used to be a Saxon (and probably Roman) dock just upstream from Southwark bridge. Possibly the location of where the Romans first established themselves in London. When the tide is out there is quite a substantial bit of beach. While the sand may not be exactly sunbathing quality, beachcombing could result in the uncovering of an ancient artefact or two!”

The property is being marketing at £495 per week. For more details click here or call 020 7600 7000.
