Location

Queen Anne’s Gate is located parallel with Birdcage Walk and St James’s Park, close to world renowned and iconic landmarks such as the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, and Buckingham Palace.

A location steeped in history and widely regarded for its exquisitely preserved examples of 18th Century architecture. It is tranquil and attractive, blending history with the modern world, and combining a sense of ‘country‘ with urban life too.

Westminster and Victoria have seen significant redevelopment in recent years: vast expansion and improvement of retail and residential offerings have seen the area re-join the traditional trophy enclaves that are recognised as ‘prime central London’.

A destination and ‘lifestyle hub’ boasting Michelin star restaurants from Michel Roux Jnr, Tom Kerridge and Andrew Wong; fashion houses from Mulberry and Tom Ford; a Curzon Cinema; Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ‘Other Palace’ theatre and studio; St John’s Concert Hall at Smith Square; the Tate Britain Gallery, and all in addition to the offerings in St James’s, the West End and nearby Mayfair, Belgravia and Knightsbridge.

Local transport connections located nearby include St James’s Park and Westminster underground stations providing District and Circle Line and Jubilee Line access. Victoria Station provides underground services and mainline rail with national network connections including the Gatwick Express.
