The Ivory Tower

The Ivory Tower: Greater London

Situated on one of the most expensive streets in Britain, this magnificent home house is the absolute pinnacle of London luxury. As soon as you push open the front door, you'll find designer furniture and lavish details at every turn – think silk curtains, cashmere throws and decadent marble bathrooms. You'll love settling down with a Hollywood classic in the cinema area, throwing supper parties in the dining room and finishing your day with cocktails on the terrace, complete with its own working outdoor fireplace. You can also enjoy access to Belgrave Square's shared gardens – begin your morning with a game of tennis or, for a more leisurely start to the day, simply take a stroll and admire the lime trees, rose bushes and wisteria-covered pergolas. Many of the most prestigious sights of West London are just a stroll away from your front door. For the perfect afternoon, walk to visit Buckingham Palace in twelve minutes, before wandering through St James' Park and finishing up with some retail therapy in Mayfair. Life doesn't get much better than that.
