This home stands proudly above adjacent buildings and casts an imposing shadow on the street below, famous for its upmarket gentlemen's outfitters – with your downstairs neighbour being a traditional shoe shop. The whole area has a classy and traditional London vibe, so upon entering this grand building, you might be surprised by the interiors of the flat. Sleek white fixtures and fittings, monochrome photography prints, honey-coloured flooring, and a neutral colour palette are a welcome contrast to the buzz of nearby Piccadilly. Sip an Earl Grey on the balcony as you look out over the city centre from your vantage point. The plush bedrooms also feature French doors or large windows with views – it’s a city that deserves to be seen. You should be able to spot St James's Church at Piccadilly, right across the street. As it’s well known for its classical music programme, why not stop in for a lunchtime concert? Then on to St James’s Square, where you can unwind in elegant and peaceful formal gardens. For the evening, the glitzy restaurants of Mayfair are calling. You won’t even need to hail a black cab, as it’s only a ten-minute walk away.
