With its unrivalled location, it offers residents the rare opportunity not just to live in London’s West End, but to feel connected to its very heart – the vibrant world of Innermost London.

The rows of shops. The bustling restaurants. The music of conversation. Innermost London is a hive of activity. But it can also be a haven of calm. Look a little closer, there’s a world away from the city, right at its centre.

To understand a city you have to All Our London know its heart, and the heart of London is the West End, that small section Peter Watts of central streets where everything Specialist London writer and former happens and always has. It is here that Section Editor of Time Out London you will find distilled the very essence of the city: the joyous jumble of history, buildings, people, places and stories that ensures London remains a head-spinning, eye-opening, heart-pounding place to be. You only have to walk these bustling streets, whether for half a day or half an hour, to see why London is somewhere people have always been attracted to when they want to make a difference. This part of London is in perpetual flux, like a brain that never switches off. Nothing stays exactly the same for very long and even those vast and weathered buildings that appear so permanent and unyielding will have changed their use dozens of times over the centuries. There is a constant ebb and flow of people, who bring new life into a city that has been an international port, a gathering place for the world, ever since it was founded by the Romans. These days new Londoners come by air and train rather than boat, but their accents – and the aromas of their native cuisines escaping from friendly restaurants – are an essential part of Central London existence. Each new arrival brings with them an energy that helps transform the landscape

PLACE & PURPOSE

The stories of Fitzrovia’s alleyways wind their way deep through London’s past. With many now in conservation areas, they are sure to be part of its heritage for a long time to come.

We are privileged to have the opportunity to shape this exciting area, adding to its heritage.

For years, we eyed the forlorn buildings seemingly in temporary occupation of this gem of a site. We often contemplated how we might unlock the potential inherent in such a world-class location.

With the genius of Ken Shuttleworth and his talented team at Make Architects, we uncovered this gem. Together with our expert development professionals, we’ve succeeded in opening up a locked door and creating a truly fantastic place to live.

It will be a building that brings new life into the area, yet feel as if it’s always been there. It will elegantly endure the years, along with the streets around it. And it will be peaceful, but perfectly central – a haven of calm tucked between Charlotte Street and Soho.

We are proud to bring you Rathbone Square, 142 apartments, every one of which will be an incredibly special place to call home right in the heart of London.
