INTRODUCING BUCKINGHAM PALACE ROAD * Facing The Royal Mews and counting Buckingham Palace, St James’s Park and The Queen’s Gallery among its immediate neighbours, this prestigious development of just seven 2 and 3 bedroom apartments boasts an address that is difficult to surpass. The front of the building is a timeless facade in original Portland Stone and soft red brickwork, with delicate cornice and architrave detail, whilst the rear is a new build of brick, loft-style modern duplexes. The interiors are modern, sleek, inviting and entirely confident of their noble connections.

A ROYAL CONNECTION * This historic corner of London is synonymous with that most British of institutions, royalty. It’s here that Buckingham Palace, Clarence and Marlborough Houses and arguably, the most authentic of them all, St James’s Palace, form the cornerstones of the capital’s royal residencies. The pomp and pageantry might best be observed at the Trooping of the Colour or the Changing of the Guard, but the essence of sovereignty can be savoured in the wide tree-lined Mall and the manicured perfection of St James’s Park. A more personal and detailed appreciation of the royal heritage is not restricted to the great and good: the Queen’s Gallery at Buckingham Palace has changing exhibitions of items from the Royal Collection and the Royal Mews displays the state vehicles used for coronations, royal weddings and the State Opening of Parliament.

HAUTE COUTURE & FINE DINING * Revitalised by the arrival of the Cardinal Place shopping centre, the area has radically changed in recent years with exciting new restaurants, bars and boutiques adding to long-established attractions such as the Goring, London’s most characteristically English hotel with it’s renowned David Linley designed restaurant, The Dining Room. To the west lies Knightsbridge, famous for Harrods, Harvey Nichols, the great auction houses of Bonhams and Christie’s and the fashion emporia of Beauchamp Place, framed by Sloane Street, Pont Street and Brompton Road. To the north are Fortnum & Mason, Jermyn Street and fabulous shopping arcades filled with bespoke tailors, cigar shops, perfumeries, frommageries and milliners. The quality and variety of restaurants is difficult to surpass: try “new style” Japanese at Nobu, eat Highland steaks with live jazz at Boisdale of Belgravia, taste award-winning Thai at the Mango Tree or have imaginative seafood at Quaglino’s.

TIMELESS ARCHITECTURE SETS THE STAGE * SW1 boasts some exceptional open spaces in Green and St James’s Parks, however, the architecture of the built environment surely triumphs as some of the grandest to be found in the capital. Westminster Abbey is a living pageant of British history and a treasure trove of paintings and stained glass. A delightful companion piece is found down Victoria Street in Westminster Cathedral, a breathtaking example of Byzantine architecture. The Houses of Parliament claim prime riverfront position with the inimitable 320 ft tower, Big Ben, whose clock is charmingly counterweighted by old pennies to ensure it keeps to time. Cardinal Place is home to the SW1 Gallery with a varied range of contemporary exhibitions and contrasts neatly with the opulent displays at the Queen’s Gallery at Buckingham Palace.Victoria Palace and the Apollo Victoria theatres can provide a light-hearted evening’s entertainment within easy walking distance.

DISCOVERING THE GEMS OF WESTMINSTER * From the established architectural magnificence of Belgravia, Knightsbridge and St James’s to the revitalised areas of Victoria, Pimlico and Westminster, the places that share the SW1 postcode trip off the tongue like a who’s who of hot spots. Business and pleasure co-exist very happily here; the politicians, diplomats, civil servants and royal dignitaries have been supplemented by the more recent arrival of tourists, journalists and media moguls. A hugely diverse range of hotels, restaurants and bars rise to the challenge of meeting their discriminating tastes.
SOPHISTICATED DESIGNER INTERIORS * The remodelled Edwardian building connects by a courtyard to the smart new build at the rear, but the same meticulous attention has been lavished on the stylish interiors throughout. Chic, sleek and subtly glamorous these are undoubtedly homes fit for modern royalty.

2&3 BEDROOM APARTMENTS: THE DETAILS * The apartments are housed in two distinct buildings divided by and overlooking a central courtyard. The period property faces Buckingham Palace Road whilst the new build apartments front onto Warwick Row. The interiors have been designed with the conscientious 21st century, buyer in mind. Products, manufacturers and specification were not only chosen for their quality and overall design but also because of their environmental impact. The interiors themselves are a decidedly modern European palate with Italian kitchens, wardrobes and tile and contemporary German technology for bathrooms and appliances. The result is a simple yet stunning understatement of outstanding style in a palette of contemporary neutrals of soft whites, taupes and charcoals.

* * The Westminster Collection encompasses a range of select refurbished and new build developments that share the distinguished SW1 postcode. This historic region dates back to Edward the Confessor’s rule in the 11th century and his founding of a new palace church now known as Westminster Abbey. The church was named ‘west minster’ to distinguish it from the established St Paul’s Cathedral, the ‘east minster’ in the city. The move effectively changed the course of London’s history by dividing the commercial centre from the judicial seat of royal power. Today, the word ‘Westminster’ is more often used to describe the capital’s political pulse, yet it is undoubtedly one of London’s most impressive residential addresses. It is also home to many of London’s most celebrated and globally recognised landmarks including the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and Westminster Abbey.
