Fulham Reach is a 744-home scheme between Putney Bridge and Hammersmith Bridge, a remarkably serene section of the river favoured by scullers and oarsmen.

Glass-clad apartment blocks have wraparound balconies to make the most of the view across the Thames to the splendid Harrods Furniture Depository. Residents have exclusive use of a spa, screening room and wine cellar as well as a 24-hour concierge. The River Café, the lauded restaurant where Jamie Oliver cut his teeth, is housed in an adjacent wharf. Homes in Goldhurst House, the latest phase, are priced from £1,749,950.
