Imagine if Bicester Village had bedrooms for weary shoppers where you could take a midday nap in between trawling the sales? Or if tucked away at Westfield there was a place for people to kick back and watch telly before popping downstairs for some overpriced sushi and a browse in Reiss?
All this and more will be available to a small number of people renting or buying luxury serviced apartments in a new £400m development in the heart of the capital.
108 serviced apartments have been unveiled as part of the redevelopment planned for Islington Square, the Edwardian building just behind Upper Street which was formerly the Royal Mail’s sorting office.
Rows of designer stores and chic eateries will line the cobbles of this pedestrianised retail haven, while soaring high above street level some of the most exquisite apartments in London will sit waiting for the high-flying city executives and foreign investors who are expected to sign up for these luxury studios.

Designed to combine the very best of a five-star hotel’s amenities with all the comfort and security of home, these flats offer the travelling businessman or woman a home away from home without the bother of, say, putting the bins out at the end of a hard day in the City or changing the lilies in the designer vases.
Flats for sale
There are also 263 flats for sale. One 942 square foot apartment on the upper floors of the building will mix “Edwardian flair and modern living”.
A loft like this one comes complete with an executive lounge for apartment users and a health club with a swimming pool and gym, as well as two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a huge reception room and a state of the art kitchen.

But be warned, an apartment like this one will set you back - £1,350,000 to be precise - though with the designer appliances, on-site housekeeping staff and luxury shopping street on the doorstep, it’s easy to see how you could be persuaded.

The development will be a mix of converted period buildings with some new build elements, all the while trying to maintain the integrity of the over 100-year-old North London Royal Mail sorting and delivering centre.

The pedestrianised site will be lined with shops and restaurants which Sager hope will have the feel of the Covent Garden piazza.
The flats will be a mixture of suites, one beds and two beds.
