Venetian Gothic architecture, exemplified by Lothbury in the heart of London's financial district, exudes qualities of charm, character, grace, and elegance.

This style, dating back to the 14th century and influenced by Byzantine, Moorish, and Ottoman design, stands as one of architecture's most notable and remarkable achievements. The Venetians honed this aesthetic to perfection, with iconic structures like the Palazzo Ducale, Ca' d'Oro, and the Palazzo Cavalli-Franchetti.

Designed by the renowned RIBA architect George Somers Clarke in the late 1860s, Lothbury shares its creator with the Palace of Westminster. Throughout its history, it served as the headquarters for the General Credit and Discount Company, later becoming home to Speyer Brothers, The National Bank of Australia, Laurie Milbank & Co stockbrokers, and a private dining club for the Overseas Bankers' Club.

In this millennium, Marldon transformed the building into luxury apartments, meticulously restoring its original glory while seamlessly blending heritage and modern architecture to craft ideal spaces for city living.

The apartment itself is undeniably grand, featuring a living area reminiscent of a palace with nearly 5-meter-high ceilings, intricate cornicing, and five generously proportioned sash windows. This space has been intelligently adapted to accommodate comfortable living, dining, and study areas. Additional features include a recessed kitchen, a guest cloakroom, and an upper-level double bedroom with ample built-in wardrobes and a shower room.

Situated across from the Bank of England, this Grade II listed gem occupies a prime location in the financial district, offering unmatched convenience with Bank Station (servicing Central, Northern, Waterloo and City, and DLR lines) and Liverpool Street Station (offering Circle, Hammersmith and City, Metropolitan, and mainline access) just moments away.

The city's shopping scene shines with One New Change on Cheapside and upscale boutiques at The Royal Exchange, where you can explore luxury brands like Hermes, Fortnum and Mason, Tiffany and Co, Watches of Switzerland, and Aspinal of London.

Notably, this apartment's proximity to London landmarks such as St. Paul's Cathedral, the River Thames, the Tower of London, and The Shard, coupled with its central location within London's banking and legal districts, makes it an exceptional and truly special residence.
