It may be the world's most powerful financial center and huge with tourists, but there's a less showy side to London that makes the UK capital a timelessly appealing place to live. Look beyond the shimmering skyline and you'll find a world of red brick Victorian mansions, tranquil waterways and sprawling Royal Parks.
Serenity in the city
Garrett Mansions is less than 15 minutes' walk from two of London's most famous parks – Hyde Park to the south and Regent's Park to the north-east – for a combined 760 acres of green space. The boutiques of Marylebone High Street are less than 20 minutes on foot, and it's not much further to the cultural charms of Soho and fine dining at Mayfair.
Families with children will also be well situated for exceptional education institutions. Local St. Saviour's primary school is rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted, and notable universities including the University of Westminster, Regent's University London and London School of Economics are all within easy reach.
For getting around the city and beyond, the district is as well-connected as you'd expect for prime Zone 1 London. Edgware station offers access to four Underground lines just a minute's walk from Garrett Mansions, and it's also a short walk to Paddington station and the Crossrail Elizabeth Line, taking you to Heathrow Airport in 21 minutes.
Classic style with modern amenities
Garrett Mansions is part of the larger West End Gate development that's reimagining the London mansion block for the modern age. Architects Squire and Partners designed the red brick buildings to blend sympathetically with their period surroundings, overlooking a serene private garden.
This classically-inspired design continues inside the apartments, which are characterized by warm bronze and heritage tones and feature engineered timber flooring, integrated appliances and bespoke fittings. Residents can also access exclusive amenities at the development's Westmark building, including a swimming pool, fully-equipped gym and spa, private lounge, dining and cinema rooms and a 24-hour concierge.
Berkeley Homes Sales and Marketing Director, Simon Howard, says the West End Gate development offers an excellent opportunity to overseas property buyers. “With great design, amenities and location, the mid-range pricing opens up room for investment growth,” Mr. Howard explains.
“With the current and predicted relative lack of supply, it's a very good and safe option for an investor. With the transport connections, the opening of the Crossrail and the prestigious, established locations all around, I see it as a very good opportunity.”
