Once the home of Robbie Williams, the Lloyds bank founder’s mansion at 100 Hamilton Terrace brings Los Angeles inspired glamour to London.

Offering 11,420 sqft of luxurious living space the seven bedroom double-fronted mansion at 100 Hamilton Terrace in St John’s Wood, was originally the home of the founder of Lloyds Bank. The stately house is complete with one of the best 5-star hotel-like swimming pool, spa and leisure complexes ever built in the capital.

The vast mansion at 100 Hamilton Terrace was built in 1890 and originally served as the London home of banker Henry Barnett, who founded Lloyds Bank. One of the country’s first multi-millionaire bankers, Henry Barnett (18151896), cousin of PM George Canning, was the principal partner of Barnett, Hoare & Co Bank which merged In 1864 with Hanbury, Lloyds & Co, creating Lloyds Banking Group.

Enriched by the Lloyds merger Henry Barnett purchased 100 Hamilton Terrace which he and his wife Emily used as their London townhouse. Guests included the Marquess and Countess of Clanricarde, George Canning and Lord Randolph Churchill (father of Winston). The Barnett family also entertained at their country estate, Glympton Park near Woodstock, now owned by the Saudi Royal family.

Fast forward to modern times, 100 Hamilton Terrace was purchased in 2012 by the current owners. Refurbished to the highest standard, the Los Angeles inspired interiors by designer Bill Bennette bring Hollywood glamour to London. Over the last few years the house has been rented to a series of high-profile individuals, including Robbie Williams, before being placed on the market for sale.

The interior design and its recent refresh has been undertaken by South African born interior designer Bill Bennette of Bill Bennette Design, London’s ultimate go-to interior designer for billionaires, A-listers and foreign royals.

The interior design scheme for 100 Hamilton Terrace was inspired by the opulent Los Angeles mansions of Delfern Drive and Sunset Boulevard.
