Established in 1854, Central Saint Martins quickly became London’s creative hub; some of its most famous alumni include Alexander McQueen, John Galliano and Stella McCartney, and it even played host to the Sex Pistols’ debut gig in 1975. After the school relocated to King’s Cross in 2011, the original building was transformed into 13 apartments: the Saint Martins Lofts.

The apartments themselves sit above the iconic Foyles bookshop – and their crowning jewel is a spectacular penthouse, which has just hit the market for £6.95 million. Inside, you’ll find a vast kitchen/living area and three bedroom suites, alongside a sprawling terrace commanding panoramic views of the London skyline.

The kitchen is complete with a huge breakfast bar and sleek marble splashbacks, while the living space features two sets of French doors opening onto the terrace.
In the principal suite, meanwhile, you’ll spot a luxurious bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe showcasing bespoke cabinetry. It’s loft-style living in the heart of London – just moments away from Leicester Square, in fact…
