The building has a 24-hour concierge. There is a gym with new equipment, as well as a swimming pool, steam room and jacuzzi. There is also a secure parking area for residents. Metro Central Heights has a communal entrance area on the ground floor, which houses the concierge, from where there is lift access to all floors. The apartment is entered from a communal hall.
Inside, the flat measures approximately 1,226 sq ft (114 sq m). The lower floor contains three double bedrooms (one of which is open-plan to the entrance hall but could easily be partitioned), a bathroom, a cloakroom and a walk-in dressing room. On the top floor is a very bright reception room, with steps up to a dining room and kitchen. There are several access points to the terrace, which is not overlooked. Subject to planning permission, the top floor could potentially be extended.
Metro Central Heights is located on Newington Causeway, on the eastern side of Elephant & Castle. The building was originally built as an office block, and was known as Alexander Fleming House. It was converted to residential use and renamed in 1997.
There are very good transport links on the doorstep, including regular buses, and both Underground (Northern Line) and National Rail services from Elephant & Castle station. The building is also well located for access to Waterloo station. To the north is Borough, with its famous food market, Tate Modern and the River Thames. Elephant & Castle is the subject of an ongoing programme of regeneration, which includes the new Strata building and the redevelopment of the market.
