Luxury accommodation in the heart of West London.
Brand new for March 2023, The Westminster Residences is a spectacular property that is more than worthy of its grandiose surroundings. Nestled amongst Grade I and II listed period properties, its Georgian exterior blends seamlessly with the neighbouring red-brick buildings. That being said, this building is impossible to miss. With its prominent position and stately appearance, The Westminster Residences creates a striking first impression. Located in the heart of West London, this property offers unbelievable skyline views and represents city living at its most luxurious.
The Apartments
This luxurious six-storey property is situated in a peaceful, residential part of Westminster. Along the mood-lit corridors you’ll find beautifully-appointed one, two and three-bed apartments with the property’s penthouse occupying the sixth floor. With deluxe detailings throughout, these apartments feature herringbone flooring, large crittal windows and premium Miele appliances. The bathrooms boast large walk-in rainfall showers, free-standing baths and illuminated vanities. Open-plan living-dining areas surround bespoke kitchens with a marble-top breakfast bar, perfect for entertaining. The penthouse offers a separate study, an integrated wine cooler and spectacular views of Westminster through the triple-aspect windows. With access to a concierge and weekly housekeeping included, you’ll have more time to explore your new neighbourhood whilst your apartment is made ready for you to come home to.
The Neighbourhood
Westminster’s exceptional location and idyllic surroundings mean that for many, it will only ever be a destination for a day trip, or perhaps an indulgent weekend away. To be able to call this area home is certainly a luxury, and as one of the most enviable postcodes in the country, it will be hard to find a better place from which to experience London. You’ll find the property itself in a peaceful residential area, on the corner of Gayfere and Great Peter Street. The surroundings are reassuringly quiet, made up of picturesque townhouses and tranquil tree-lined streets. However, you won’t have to walk far to be reminded of your exclusive location in one of the world’s best-loved cities.
Westminster and Southbank
If you’re looking to start your day with a morning walk, head west to Victoria Tower Gardens. Here you’ll have an uninterrupted view of the Palace of Westminster as you stroll along the riverside path. For a bite to eat, cross at Westminster Bridge to the Southbank Centre and swing by the food market there. After, make the most of the surrounding entertainment venues, showing everything from concerts to art exhibitions.
Victoria and Belgravia
If you turn left down Great Peter Street, before long you’ll find yourself in Victoria. Here, you can access trains servicing the South of England and visit some of the country’s most popular coastal resorts. If you fancy a spontaneous international getaway, the Gatwick Express will take you directly to the airport in under an hour. Just beyond Victoria lies Belgravia, home to cobbled streets and manicured gardens. Peruse the boutique antique stores whilst you sip a flat white from one of Pimlico Road’s many artisan coffee shops.
Central London
Heading north will take you directly to Trafalgar Square, passing some of London’s most iconic landmarks on the way. You’ll already be familiar with the likes of Big Ben, Westminster Abbey and the London Eye, as these will be visible from your kitchen-dining area as you brew your morning coffee. From there the choice is yours: catch a show at Theatreland, splash some cash on Regent Street or dine out in Soho? With the capital’s most vibrant neighbourhoods so close, you can step out the door and see where the day takes you.
