London’s waterfront has an enduring appeal. The captivating River Thames is the lifeblood of the city and it affords some of the best views of the capital and its most famous sights, bridges and landmarks from the London Eye, Tower Bridge and St Paul’s Cathedral to Big Ben, the Houses of Parliament, Tate Modern and Shakespeare’s Globe.

With vibrant neighbourhoods, an enhanced sense of wellbeing and access to an idyllic riverside lifestyle, it’s little wonder that the banks of the Thames are among London’s most desirable places to live.

There’s a plethora of river activities on offer from riverside homes too, from rowing and paddle boarding to popular annual events – the Totally Thames Festival runs throughout September and The Great River Race, London’s 26-mile rowing marathon, takes place on 10 September.

For those looking to be beside by the river, here are six of the best homes, from modern apartments to converted warehouses and Grade II listed Georgian houses, all with spectacular river views.
