Lancaster Gate W2 sits at the precise point where four of London`s most celebrated neighbourhoods converge — Hyde Park to the south, Mayfair to the east, Kensington Palace to the west, and Notting Hill to the north. Most visitors to London never find it. Those who do tend to understand immediately why it is one of the most quietly coveted addresses in the city.
This is a £5 million Georgian duplex apartment of exceptional distinction — and one of the most architecturally remarkable short-let properties in Central London.
THE APARTMENT
Arranged across three levels with a private lift serving the upper level directly from the main building entrance. Each level has its own distinct character and purpose, creating a genuinely house-like experience within an extraordinary Georgian residence.
Upper level: The kitchen — fully fitted with marble worksurfaces and professional-grade Miele appliances — and the master bedroom with king bed, ensuite bathroom, electronic safe, and Smart TV. The private lift from the building entrance arrives here.
Middle level: The centrepiece of the apartment — a spectacular drawing room with full-length floor-to-ceiling windows, 5-metre high ceilings, and bespoke furniture by David Linley, the celebrated luxury furniture designer. The sense of scale and craftsmanship on this level is unlike almost anything available as a short let in London. The dining room and private terrace with outdoor seating are also on this level.
Lower level: Bedroom 2 with king bed and ensuite bathroom. Bedroom 3 with king bed and a well-appointed bathroom in the adjacent hallway.
Please note: the middle and lower levels are accessed via internal stairs within the apartment. The private lift serves the upper level only.
All bathrooms — heated towel rail, hotel-quality towels, hairdryer, shower amenities, toilet paper, and shaver charging point. 60` HDTV with Sky TV, Netflix, and Amazon Prime throughout. Dedicated workspace and fast Wi-Fi. Window AC units and fans during warmer months.
A noise decibel monitor is installed — sound levels only, no audio or video. Quiet hours: 21:00–09:00.
