Buckingham Street,
Strand WC2

Forming part of the Adelphi Conservation Area and located on the corner of Buckingham Street and John Adam Street, Buckingham House was originally constructed in the early 20th century and although not currently listed, is designated as an ‘unlisted building of merit’ and was designed to echo the historic Georgian architecture of the surrounding streets. Buckingham Street is so-named being part of the former Adelphi Estate that was developed on land originally owned by the 1st Duke Of Buckingham, George Villiers.

Entered via double doors on the Buckingham Street elevation, residents are welcomed into a modern reception foyer finished in a contemporary style with a passenger lift to all floors. The apartment features generous ceiling heights throughout, creating a sense of volume that is amplified by the natural light entering via numerous sash windows located on two sides of the building, along with contemporary decoration in a bright neutral palette.

A generous hallway links all rooms – principal bedroom suite, guest bedroom, guest bathroom and third bedroom/study. Double doors open into the primary open plan living space, which benefits from a lovely dual aspect looking out over the streets below, with warm contrasting tones from the naturally oiled timber floors and a wonderful open plan contemporary kitchen with stand-alone island & breakfast bar.

The space benefits from recessed ceilings adding to the sense of volume, with a fully programmable lighting system and comfort cooling throughout. Well-proportioned sash windows on both sides allow great natural light, with frames painted in a dark contrasting colour that matches the attractive traditional style cast iron radiators.

The well-proportioned principal bedroom benefits from a separate dressing area with bespoke fitted wardrobes as well as a generous en-suite bathroom with walls clad in beautiful Carrara marble, a lovely freestanding bath, separate shower and dual wash basins.

The well-proportioned double guest bedroom overlooks John Adam Street, with an adjacent guest bathroom finished with high quality contemporary fittings. The third bedroom features fitted wardrobes and is currently configured as a study and occasional bedroom, perfect for both home working and accommodating an additional overnight guest.

A neighbourhood that offers everything from river views and world class theatres, to green open space and village vibes. The link between Westminster and the City of London, modern Strand has shaken off its reputation as a traffic congested artery to be avoided, now boasting a Soho House at 180 Strand, a number of luxury residential developments and a wonderful new public space at the eastern end where it meets Aldwych around St. Mary’s Church opposite Kings College London.

This is an exceptionally well-connected part of London, with mainline rail services from Charing Cross to the southeast, as well as District, Circle, Bakerloo and Northern Line tube service from Embankment station and riverboat services to both West London and the City & Canary Wharf from nearby Embankment Pier.

Nearby Covent Garden offers some of the capital’s finest restaurants and retailers, not to mention world class cultural attractions in the form of the Royal Opera House and numerous theatres, museums and galleries. Educational powerhouses The London School of Economics, King’s College and University of London all have major campuses nearby, making the neighbourhood an ideal home for culture vultures and students alike.
