Remember when gyms closed and everyone started working out at home? Well, turns out we might have been onto something. No ‘gym bros’ sweating buckets two feet away from you, no waiting half an hour to use a machine, no incessant blaring of Capital FM. Plus, we find that having your set-up in the next room is the best sort of motivation, especially in winter when gym-going means peeling yourself off the sofa in favour of the pitch black and freezing cold. These for-sale London properties all boast private gyms and wellness facilities for those looking to join the working (out) from home revolution.

Residents also enjoy access to The Spa, which promises a gym, pool, treatment room, and Scandi-style sauna and steam room.
