I’ve been there in person, I understand people can’t comprehend £4mill for a 2 bed. But you have to understand, videos do not do this place justice. You’re not paying for the amount of bedrooms, you’re paying for the location. You’re paying for the safety (Canary Wharf have their own security, Canary Wharf is owned by Qataris, they don’t mess around! When they do something, they do it properly, so you know you’ll be safe. The amenities in the building are one of the best I’ve ever seen.
They can't comprehend it because the value for money is in a huge negative ratio. Admittedly the pool You get access to is beautiful but the nearly 5m. I'd want a personal pool and at the very least 6 bedrooms.
Usually penthouse are more for single or couples. And everything is about location. No families will ever live In this neighborhood. herzog and de meuron are prime architect they know the business
No kidding. It seems you're paying for the neighborhood and views, because the space is awkward, cramped, and fairly unpleasant. "Lipstick on a pig," is what came to mind.
Hi Toby, must comment on the stairs, wow, that is class, the open living space is great, kitchen layout is stylish with that wooden panelling and hidden door, ceiling heights is great, BUT …. SOMEONES vision on interior design is not everyone’s cup of tea, sadly I just do not get it….. overall great apartment, it can be spectacular…? Great content mate, cheers.
1 - 56th floor is an extremely isolating experience. I've lived at higher floors before 2 - You can clearly hear the loud noise from the other buildings cooling system fans lol 3 - Minimalist is the last thing you wanna hear at £5mill. Probably less than 50k spent on furniture The type of penthouse from a dystopian sci-fi move where you'd wanna be out of it most of the time. If the contract would be to buy it at $1M without the possibility to sell for 10 years, I still wouldn't choose it
Love the design, the white and wood (sort of Anglo-Scandi), tasteful art, height/views, etc and well-presented. But... location, location, location. Being up high can be great but CW, eh, maybe not, plus I could hear a bit of street noise before Toby even opened the door to step outside, then it was louder.
The developers have been struggling to sell units in this over-priced monstrosity for many years. Shoe-box sized units with sky-high prices. No thanks.
Horrible design for £5m, plus probably a very high monthly service charge. Canary Wharf has no soul (I lived there for 2 years), it feels like an Asian Central Business District where people only go to work. It's surrounded by deprived areas like Poplar, Isle of Dogs, Limehouse. If I had £5m to spare I'd rather go near Angel or Clerkenwell / Bloomsbury you can easily get a nice 2 bed - if you are lucky with a freehold/share of the freehold.
That shelving in the 2nd bedroom looks like something out of IKEA. and why is the oven so low in the kitchen? And a cork bed? WTF! A disaster of design..
Toby - love your other video's, but this apartment was horrible! Tiny and SO loud when you walked out on the balcony that you almost had to shout to hear you. Wouldn't pay $50 for it.
Between you presenting and the good camera man/woman you really sold this place. I have seen a couple of other presentations, and this is the only one that didn't make it seem like it shouldn't be lived in. Nice work.
Property prices are too high these days - ridiculous prices being set. I like some of interior of this apartment, but not other bits. I particularly like the bathroom - style of the sinks, taps, matching shower & kitchen area, the unusual D-shaped atrium (correct name?)... Like the wardrobes - bit like mine, but just a teeny weeny bit taller ... give or take a few feet (! 🙂) - and not many people in London have * that * kind of view. Spectacular. I think they could have done better re: interior design with this particular apartment, but for anyone looking for a property (with enough money) or anyone interested in interior design, Toby Corban's videos are worth watching.
Have a chance to live in Herzog & de Meuron woth this amount and it was lovely tour I’ve watch 3 times🙌🏻🌿💚 thanks for great tours and valuing the Architecture 👌🏼

I'd never consider canary wharf is a nice area to live... once offices close, it looks like a Last of Us filming location.

Only two bedrooms, windowless bathrooms, no bathtub, and a tiny open plan living/dining/kitchen, for £4.7m?! Absolutely insane!
Thanks for watching Warren 💙
Pray there is never an earthquake. That circular staircase gave me such a panic attack! Give me a vrownstone, please!

Nice apartment! Been waiting for some more content from you, enjoyed this video a lot
Glad you enjoyed!
Not a fan of the penthouse itself, but great video none the less.
Appreciate you watching!
That place is not worth £4.7 million. Too much furniture and wood. Kitchen was hit and miss and why no bath in the main bedroom ensuite.
Appreciate you watching ! 💙
your review is fantastic but the finish of the apartment by the designers is not for me
The interior designer has made the place look like it's been burgled and the nice things have been removed.
It doesn't flow at all.
Thanks for sharing
It looks like the vast majority of the furniture came came from IKEA.
Nice video!
Thanks!

Good point!
A Cork Bed??? WTF??? Dude, who the hell wants to pay 5 million quid for a god dammed Cork Bed???
Absolute class great video.
Fantastic presentation, you have certainly done your research, bravo...🎉
Thank you...Very well presented Toby...your a natural
You are very welcome

toby i saw you walk past me with a blonde on that day in canary

I might have missed it but was there a bathroom downstairs, or is everyone supposed to go upstairs and use the en-suites?
You should check out Berkeley Tower, thats where I am moving to, its far nicer than this place, its a 4 bedroom tho
That shelving in the 2nd bedroom looks like something out of IKEA. and why is the oven so low in the kitchen? And a cork bed? WTF! A disaster of design..
The architects forgot to add stables. I mean where are one's horses supposed to live?
Loved the Video, sadly not the price or apartment. Keep up the great content!
Amazing
Was there a half bath on the first floor? Although it might be only a small part of the apartment, it would’ve been nice to showcase that also.
Yes there was!
Them stairs 😂😂😂😂😂
Toby - love your other video's, but this apartment was horrible! Tiny and SO loud when you walked out on the balcony that you almost had to shout to hear you. Wouldn't pay $50 for it.
Excellent job, Toby!
Thanks for watching!

*Concrete column* normal people: ... Estate agents: attention to detail!!! 😮
Loving the German Army Trainers Toby 👍
Toby,whats up!!love your content, you're one of the best real estate presenters out there!!kudos to you.😅
Have a chance to live in Herzog & de Meuron woth this amount and it was lovely tour I’ve watch 3 times🙌🏻🌿💚 thanks for great tours and valuing the Architecture 👌🏼
very nice penthouse.
Glad you enjoyed it!
has a bathtub, bit small but impressive nonetheless
So dark and cold
👌🏡
overrated. but nice for someone...
Thanks for watching! 💙
What jobs do people actually do to afford this?
Finance!
Master suite is so unfortunate
Appreciate you watching!
Awful property for that price
Thanks for watching!
Jesus Christ 😅 I love it but it’s. It worth 4.7m maybe at 1.7m but seriously underwhelming
Where are you from actually? Coz you don’t sound British..
👍👍👍👍stunning stunning !!!!
No thanks.
It's a lovely penthouse. I really like the hidden courtyard and the cork bed and mirror, great idea..💡 I'm was born in Cork.😂👍
