You don't need to travel abroad to buy your own amazing view, as these British locations show.

Tower Bridge, London

Situated just a stone's throw from the Thames, this two bedroom duplex apartment looks out on to the river, Tower Bridge and the Tower of London beyond. It's on the six and seventh floors of a converted brewhouse, and includes two bathrooms, a large reception room, balconies and a roof terrace.

In the unlikely event that you ever tire of the view, the eclectic Gothic-inspired interior is equally interesting, as it features panelled walls, a green marbled bathroom, and a frescoed ceiling in the master bedroom.
Price: £1,800,000 through Knight Frank.

The Lake District

Nestling in the Wasdale Valley, home of England's highest mountain, Scafell Pike, and Wast Water, its deepest lake, this country house has four bedrooms on the ground floor, with reception and dining rooms on the floor above, to make the most of the dramatic views in every direction. The location is a hiker's heaven, and at the end of a long day up the mountains, you can look forward to hanging up your boots and easing your aching limbs with a dip in the indoor heated swimming pool.

Price: £900,000 through Carter Jonas.
