Vitamin-infused showers, IV drips, breathwork sessions and an infrared sauna to name a few. What more could you want from a London pad or pied à terre?
Belgian developer Ghelamco’s brand-new carbon neutral West London residential offering stands less than half an hour’s walk from the King’s Road. Already celebrated for their work on The Arc, an award-winning City Road development designed by architects AHMM, Ghelamco is single-handedly raising the game when it comes to concept living spaces in the U.K.
Managing Director, Marie-Julie Gheysens says, “With the HíLight, we are elevating London living.” And elevated it is. A whopping 24 storeys tall, The HíLight provides unparalleled rooftop views across the capital’s riverside skyline. Luxury 1, 2 and 3-bedroom residences feature balconies, bay windows and full-height glazing to capture those unforgettable London sunrises and sunsets.The building itself stands on the site of the former site of Price’s candle-making factory which has supplied candles to a variety of British Royal names and Prime Ministers as far back as 1840. This is particularly fitting, given the impressive lighting spec at The HíLight. With LED downlighting throughout, smart controls and scope for featured pendants, it’s possible to create an effortless, energy-efficient ambience to meet every mood.
And with mood in mind, The HíLight has been curated in collaboration with leading wellness innovators such as Dirtea adaptogenic mushrooms, MOODS aromatherapy rituals, Dyson beauty tools and Vitaclean Vitamin C shower filters. At the rooftop wellness retreat, you can also enjoy red light therapy by Bon Charge, or take a wet or dry sauna (with chromotherapy lighting) and then submerge yourself in the cold plunge pool. Residents can also use the grounding area – a wellness practice to connect with the Earth’s surface – as well as guided meditations, sleep support and breathwork for mental stillness and focus via the Calm App. You can even book a full-body wellness consultation with Bio Atelier who can advise on supplements and provide monthly IV drips as well as bespoke treatment plans.

Other water-front amenities covered by the competitive service charge include workspaces, a fitness studio, private dining options and a 24/7 concierge. Powered by certified green energy, you’ll also find a green streetscape outside, landscaped by Grant Associates, directly contributing to biodiversity along the Thames. This will include a space for coffee shops, famous sculptures and local events for the community to enjoy. With a sophisticated club room designed by Bowler James Brindley, and a private cinema on site – complete with honesty bar – there’s every chance you won’t want to leave the comfort of your riverside apartment.
Community collaboration and events are at the heart of Ghelamco’s “caring and sharing” vision. At a recent wellness summit in collaboration with women’s collective, Mumble Forum, local businesses came together to celebrate the thriving health, wellbeing and beauty sector in Wandsworth, the Royal Borough and beyond.
The day-long event was well-attended, and included live panels on nutrition, rapid tapping, psychedelics and biohacking, as well as yoga and sound bath sessions. Notting Hill-based wellness centre Cloud Twelve showcased three of their cutting-edge biohacking treatments for future clients to try, and other favourite local businesses (such as ADEM luxury hair salon in neighbouring Belgravia) were also well-represented.
The HíLight’s Battersea location is ideal for those who know the capital well, or those just finding their feet. From St Mary’s Wandsworth Pier (formerly Plantation Wharf) – just four minutes’ walk away – you’ll be connected via Uber Boat to Chelsea Harbour in just three minutes or Waterloo Pier in just over half an hour, meaning you’ll arrive in serious style for any given trip to the theatre or the London Eye.
MD Marie-Julie Gheysens admitted that with all the attention to detail that has gone into the design and implementation of this exciting new development, she’s more than a little tempted to move in herself.
And here at the KCR, we’re inclined to agree.
