About this property
247 private riverside residences set on the south bank of the River Thames with unrivalled access to London’s most refined postcodes. The Capston is a place of singular excellence, where every detail is intentional, and every moment deeply realised.
From beautiful interiors, artisanal craftsmanship, a highly personalised service, and art that inspires, this is beyond quality promised; this is quality felt.
The Residences
Each residence bears unique signatures – shaped by the hands of master craftsmen and world-renowned designers. From marble selected at the quarries of Forte dei Marmi to hand-worked brass door handles, each specially commissioned detail is unique to The Capston. These standards of materiality and design mean that quality is felt from the moment you arrive.
Embassy Gardens
Embassy Gardens comprises over 1,500 new homes, stunning landscaped gardens, vibrant bars and restaurants in the heart of Nine Elms. Consisting of three phases, the development is fully complete and occupied. Phase one was delivered by Ballymore Group and phase two by EcoWorld Ballymore. Phase three includes One Embassy Gardens, the development’s flagship commercial building, with space occupied by Penguin Random House UK and DK Publishing.
The apartments at Embassy Gardens are a nine-minute walk from Vauxhall station; connectivity has been further improved with the extension of the Northern Line, creating two stations at Nine Elms and Battersea Power Station. Home to the Sky Pool, Embassy Gardens is a landmark development which has established a totally new community within central London, wrapped around the new US Embassy.
