Old Meets New: What's Special About Living in a Former Gasholder
Living in a converted gasholder might sound unusual, but at Regent's View, it's anything but ordinary. Housed within the restored frame of one of London's most distinctive industrial landmarks, these homes offer a rare chance to own a piece of history while enjoying the height of modern living. Here's what makes these homes truly special.
Clever Design by World-Class Architects
Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners (RSHP), the team behind The Leadenhall Building, have done something remarkable here. They've taken the circular shape of the historic gasholders and created modern homes that honour the site's heritage while offering brilliant living spaces. The dramatic steel framework has been meticulously restored, creating a striking silhouette that stands as a testament to Victorian engineering prowess while housing some of London's most innovative residential spaces.
Views Like No Other
The circular design means most homes enjoy unique views. Through floor-to-ceiling windows, you might see boats gliding along Regent's Canal, the City skyline, or both. It's a constantly changing picture of London life. Each home offers a different perspective on the city, with many apartments featuring wraparound views that capture both sunrise and sunset over London's dynamic landscape.
From the upper floors, you'll enjoy uninterrupted vistas stretching from the glass towers of Canary Wharf to the historic spires of the City. Watch as morning light streams through your east-facing windows, casting dramatic shadows across your living space, or unwind in the evening as the city lights begin to twinkle against the darkening sky. The curved glass maximises natural light throughout the day, while cleverly positioned windows ensure every room benefits from these spectacular views.

Space That Works Differently
Round buildings create interesting spaces. The architects have cleverly used this to offer unique layouts and dual-aspect views in many apartments. Plus, with approximately 8,150 sq ft of residents' facilities, there's plenty of space beyond your front door. The curved walls and innovative storage solutions make every square foot count, proving that living in a circular building can be both practical and extraordinary.
Floor-to-ceiling windows not only frame the views but also create an illusion of even greater space, while the absence of sharp corners lends a natural flow to movement throughout the home. The result is a collection of living spaces that feel both intimate and expansive, where every room tells the story of thoughtful architectural innovation.
