Slick City Pads on The Market Right Now

No Time To Die has got us all thinking one thing – how can I be as cool as 007? You may have dressed the part, but it still helps to have a super suave apartment in which to sip your (shaken) martini. 

From swish new developments to skyline views, here’s our pick of the slickest city pads worthy of double-o status.

1. The OWO, Whitehall, London

Writer Ian Fleming was inspired to create James Bond by his time at the Old War Office in Whitehall. Today, that very same building has been transformed to offer a range of sweeping apartments. Enter via the ‘spies-entrance’ and enjoy all the luxuries of this private development, which includes a butler service and access to areas used in the filming of no less than five Bond films. Available through Strutt & Parker and Knight Frank from £5,800,000 for a two-bedroom apartment. Head to theowo.london for more details.

2. Albion Riverside, London, SW11

Albion Riverside, Knight Frank & H. Barnes

If panoramic skyline views are your thing, then you’ll love this sweeping riverside apartment. Created by joining four flats together, this eight-bedroom pad is enviably spacious. It may be decorated like an Austin Powers lair, but with chique appliances and plush living spaces, you’re guaranteed Bond level luxury. And that sunset view alone is worth the price tag. Available through Knight Frank for £10,000,000

3. King Street, Covent Garden, London

Twelve-foot ceilings; grand sash windows; baroque plaster carvings and an ultramodern kitchen. This two-bedroom property is a palatial apartment for the modern Londoner. Everything is blindingly white, from the corniced fireplaces to the stylishly oblong sofas. Being such a blank canvas means that even if the eye-wateringly cool décor isn’t to your liking, you’ll have no trouble redesigning the space. The only draw back is that there’s no garden – but with the infinitely cooler Covent Garden right outside, it shouldn’t be too hard to make do. Available through Savills for £8,250,000
