The Neighbourhood

The Strand traces the Thames along the southern edge of Covent Garden, linking the City with Westminster, and is home to Soho House at 180 Strand, an enclave of luxury residences, and a striking new public square beside King's College London. World-class theatres, riverside gardens and a rare village calm, all at the centre of the capital.

Covent Garden is on your doorstep: the Royal Opera House, the Royal Ballet, and the West End's most celebrated productions, minutes away on foot.

The address carries genuine pedigree. In the 1770s the Adam brothers created the Adelphi, an elegant quarter of neo-classical terraces whose name, Greek for "brothers", endures in John Adam Street. Its centrepiece, Robert Adam's Grade I-listed RSA House, still stands at No. 8. Few London homes unite heritage, culture and riverside calm so completely.
