Location
Just a five minute stroll from Victoria Station, one of London's premier transport hubs, and via Westminster Cathedral, not only is this home located in an area of unique architectural beauty, it is also unrivalled in its connectivity with the rest of London, as well as the world - and not just by public transport.
"It’s really unique and you don’t realise that until you live here. I walk everywhere because it’s easy to get to Mayfair, St James’ Park, Chelsea, Belgravia; but you can also walk to Battersea in fifteen minutes. It’s right on the Embankment. We’re ten minutes from Buckingham Palace and the same distance from the Houses of Parliament. Also, as people who travel internationally a lot, it’s just incredibly practical.”
Victoria Station offers underground access to the Victoria, District and Central Lines, as well as train lines connecting across the United Kingdom.
The property is walking distance from some of the best dining and entertainment experiences available in the capital and offers exceptional access to London's cultural landmarks. The perfect location for a family, or even an internationally-minded buyer looking for the quintessential London experience.
