The Southbank has officially transformed from a tourist destination into a luxury residential powerhouse. In 2026, new towers along the river are outperforming traditional West End markets.
According to Savills Research, the proximity to the City and the world class cultural venues like the Southbank Centre are the primary drivers. According to Knight Frank, properties in SE1 are seeing a 6 percent annual rental yield, significantly higher than Mayfair.
