A NEW GARDEN NEIGHBOURHOOD

Set across 5.5 private acres in a peaceful quarter of St John’s Wood, the development occupies the historic home of The King’s Troop Royal Horse Artillery, with 200 years of royal and equestrian connections. Created with a deep respect for this remarkable heritage, the residences are an expression of timeless architecture and design amid mature trees and extensive landscaped gardens, with a beautiful garden square at its heart.
