6 seriously smart bachelor pads in London

Manners maketh the man, but a London abode to die for helps.

Tower Hill, EC3, from £5 million
The ultimate pieds-à-terre, the 41 luxury residences at Grade II-listed, neo-Classical Ten Trinity Square benefit from the spa, bar and restaurant at the new Four Seasons Hotel also in the building (open from January, 2017). The residences—you really can’t call them flats, think Italian marble, parquet floors and state-of-the-art technology—have between one and five bedrooms apiece and there’s also a club, which has meeting rooms, an art gallery and a ‘cigar-sampling lounge’.
