Lock View, Teddington - Local Area
See the future of riverside luxury at Lock View
There are stylish riverside homes. Then there’s Lock View. This unique collection of 15 exceptional one, two and three bedroom apartments in Teddington, West London, beautifully blends 21st century design with timeless elegance. A fine choice for life by the Thames.
On the banks of the Thames, with direct riverfront access, these stunning, modern apartments enjoy an unrivalled setting and breathtaking panoramas. A few hundred yards upstream lies Teddington Lock, the longest on the Thames. Directly across the river you will enjoy unspoilt views of Ham Lands Nature Reserve and Richmond Park. Lock View has it all. There is so much to see, to visit and to do. The Thames is the key attraction naturally – popular for sailing, rowing and relaxed river cruises but equally appealing for cycle rides, jogging and weekend strolls along its banks to Richmond. With Lock View within easy reach of the Thames Path, it’s perfectly located for visiting the traditional pubs and highly regarded restaurants on the way.
Teddington offers all the day-to-day amenities you’ll need. A well-known centre for the media and sciences, the area has a distinctly cosmopolitan feel, offering an excellent choice of cafés, bars, restaurants and shops. There are a number of gyms to choose from too, with Fitness First, Teddington Pools and Fitness Centre and the prestigious Lensbury Club closest to home.
Teddington is also particularly well connected. The M3, M4, A4 and M25 provide direct and rapid links to Central London and beyond. Teddington train station, a comfortable walk from Lock View, offers regular trains into London Waterloo, with journeys taking approximately 35 - 40 minutes. For international travel, London Heathrow Airport is a thirty minute drive away. Add to this the nearby cycle path network along the Thames and you have a wealth of travel choices from Lock View.
Teddington’s neighbouring towns, easily reached by car, bus, or even by boat or riverside walk, offer their own unique attractions. Kingston-Upon-Thames is perhaps the area’s largest shopping and entertainment destination, while Richmond enjoys more than its fair share of High Street names and high class boutiques in an historic setting. Both are ideal places for fulfilling days or lively nights out. Nearby Twickenham is world renowned as the home of English rugby and host to many prestigious international fixtures each year. Lock View also offers an easy escape to the countryside. The meadows of the Ham Lands Nature Reserve opposite are well known for their abundant wild flowers and wildlife.
Richmond Park and Bushy Park – in Victorian times known as ‘the lungs of London’ – are perfect places to visit for a breath of fresh air in beautiful surroundings. Directly alongside Bushy Park, Hampton Court Palace boasts eye-catching landscaped gardens as well as centuries of history to discover. King Henry VIII's penchant for Thames-side living is a tradition Lock View continues to this day.
So close to Central London, yet so far away in terms of its beautiful relaxed setting, Lock View is the ultimate in contemporary, riverside living. It truly must be seen to be believed.
