Centre Point Residences, West End

Originally built in 1966, Centre Point is a soaring beacon in the West End of London. The Grade II listed building is visible for miles around. It was one of London’s first skyscraper buildings. It’s centrally situated in the heart of the West End. Soho, Fitzrovia, Mayfair and the theatre districts are all a short stroll from there.

It's recently been transformed by London developer Almacantar and crafted by Conran & Partners. Standing 34 storeys high, it’s the tallest residential building in the West End. Consequently, the views of the city skyline from those residences are outstanding. On-site amenities include a spa, pool and fitness suite; 24 hour concierge; private cinema and residents' club lounge with bar.

The tower opens up to a new public square above the new Crossrail Station which allows residents access to Heathrow in under 30 minutes. The square is lined with some of London’s best restaurants including Arcade Food Hall, Din Tai Fung and Tattu as well as the recently opened Outernet.

Battersea Power Station, Battersea

This legendary London landmark on the south bank of the River Thames has been totally reimagined. The Grade II listed iconic structure is now an innovative new destination for shopping, entertainment, living and working. It’s a veritable mixed-used neighbourhood.

This regeneration project has resulted in spectacular residences. From Foster + Partners’ Battersea Roof Gardens to Gehry Partners’ masterful Prospect Place, you can expect world class architecture and design in every apartment. The residences offer awesome views across London, framed by the landmark's signature chimneys.

The Old War Office, Whitehall

The former home of the Ministry of Defence in the times of Winston Churchill has undergone a meticulous redevelopment. Imagine the conversations and issues that would have been discussed in this historic building in years gone by.

The Grade II listed Baroque style building on Whitehall is grand and iconic. It’s moments away from Buckingham Palace, Downing Street The National Gallery and St James’ Park. In fact, the world of West End entertainment is moments away.

85 branded residences sit alongside the renowned Raffles Hotel. The flagship hotel will operate from the premises and their impeccable, personalised service will be delivered seamlessly to The OWO residents.

The Whiteley, Queensway

Soon, you can make a former department store your home – The Whiteley in Queensway. It's every avid shopper's dream! Whiteley's was one of the first, and largest, department stores in London when its doors opened to customers in 1911.

Now, it’s been carefully redesigned and the new development will comprise 139 unique apartments as well as the UK’s first Six Senses Hotel and Spa and restaurants and stores. You can expect exceptional privacy as well as exemplary service from life at The Whiteley.

The Queensway area is undergoing significant transformation. A new, world class district for living, shopping and leisure is being developed. Hyde Park is mere minutes away and vibrant Notting Hill is within easy reach too. You’ll find all you need and more, right here.

The Powerhouse, Chelsea

On the north side of the Thames stands The Powerhouse. The twin turreted building is a Chelsea landmark. And now, the former Lots Road Power Station is being redeveloped and converted into luxury, private apartments.

Forming an integral part of the wider Chelsea Waterfront development, the internationally renowned architect, Sir Terry Farrell, has carefully master planned the riverside scheme. The apartments will offer the finest contemporary lifestyles. The views along the Thames, from Chelsea to Canary Wharf, will be absolutely incredible.

Within the development there will be smart retail units, restaurants and cafes with waterfront locations. Plus, residents will have the ever popular Chelsea and Fulham within walking distance.

St Pancras Chambers, Kings Cross

Wondering where you recognise this striking building from? Perhaps you can picture Harry Potter and Ron Weasley flying over it in the 2002 film Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Or maybe its from the Spice Girls Wannabe video.

The St. Pancras Chambers in King Cross is instantly recognisable. The warm pink brick façade of the Grade I listed building stands out against the typically grey London sky.

Originally the Midland Hotel, this magnificent site opened in 1873. After extensive redevelopment in 2009, the current hotel opened in 2011. Within the beautiful architecture of St Pancras Chambers, you’ll find 67 residential apartments. The views from within extend across the city and below to the iconic Kings Cross station.
