Inside The Edit: Boutique Living on the South Bank

What does it mean to create a home around good taste, wellbeing and personalised service?

For Mount Anvil, the answer is The Edit: a boutique development of 95 private studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom homes, moments from the Thames on London’s South Bank.

Designed around curated quality and a more personal approach to service, The Edit brings together considered interiors, Swiss-made appliances, wellness amenities and landscaped gardens, creating a distinctive approach to contemporary London living.

What makes The Edit different?

The Edit has been designed as a boutique offering for those who value quality, design and personalised service.

A key part of this approach is an exclusive partnership with Swiss appliance brand V-ZUG — a first for the UK. Every home will feature V-ZUG cooking appliances, with three-bedroom homes and penthouses benefiting from a wider range.

Used in Michelin-starred restaurants around the world, V-ZUG appliances combine professional-level precision and innovative technology with a minimalist Swiss design aesthetic.

The appliances complement the wider architectural vision for The Edit, designed by international award-winning practice Allies and Morrison.

How has the South Bank influenced the design?

The architecture and interiors at The Edit take inspiration from the architectural heritage of the South Bank while giving the homes their own distinctive character.

Interiors have been designed by Pandora Taylor, with each home carefully considered to feel authentic to London. Rich materiality, colour, pattern and silhouettes are layered together to create spaces that feel both distinctive and harmonious.

Natural and heavily textured materials add a sensory quality, while earthy textures and balanced tones move from light through to dark.

Oak and walnut finishes sit alongside black and white stone quartz and brass, creating a palette that combines warmth with a sense of understated luxury.

How does The Edit approach wellbeing?

Wellbeing is central to the amenity offering at The Edit.

The private residents’ club includes an innovative hot and cold wellness circuit, designed to provide a spa-quality experience at home. The circuit features a Brass Monkey ice bath and a Sunlighten mPulse smart sauna.

The residents’ club also includes a purpose-built Peloton gym, co-working lounge and private terrace, giving residents spaces to exercise, work and relax.

Outside, biodiverse landscaped gardens have been designed in partnership with Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, bringing another dimension to the development’s focus on wellbeing and the natural environment.

What is the Curators service?

The Edit takes a more personal approach to resident service through its hotel-quality, 24-hour concierge.

The team of expert Curators will be on hand to assist residents, sharing insider knowledge of London’s sought-after experiences and hidden gems.

The service is designed to feel personal rather than simply functional, with residents known by name and supported by a team who can help them make the most of life in London.

It is an approach that reflects the boutique nature of The Edit, where personalised service is an important part of the overall experience.

What can residents enjoy around The Edit?

Located moments from the Thames, The Edit places residents close to many of London’s iconic landmarks, shopping, eateries, museums and galleries.

Walking and cycling offer ways to explore the local area, while access to the Tube, train and riverboat provides connections to the wider city and beyond.

A boutique approach to London living

The Edit brings together design, wellbeing and service in a way that reflects its South Bank setting.

From the Swiss-made V-ZUG appliances and considered interiors to the private residents’ club, biodiverse gardens and Curators service, each element has been selected to create a more personalised experience of home in London.

The Edit also forms part of the transformation of the Friar’s Close estate, a partnership between Mount Anvil and Riverside delivering a mix of 149 high-quality private and affordable homes for the Borough of Southwark.
