Situated in one of London’s most iconic buildings, The OWO Residences by Raffles, Europe’s first Raffles branded residences launched today, offering potential buyers the chance to own a piece of history.

The Grade II* listed building in one of London’s most exclusive addresses has been closed for over 100 years and has since undergone an impressive renovation now housing some of the most luxurious homes in the city.

Situated on Whitehall, alongside London’s great ceremonial route the iconic building was originally completed in 1906 and designed by British architect William Young. Formerly the site of the original Palace of Whitehall, home to Henry VIII and other monarchs, the building has witnessed world-shaping events whilst inspiring Ian Fleming to write the infamous James Bond series. Its grand architecture has made the building a dramatic location in Bond films, and more recently “The Crown” drama series.

With grand high ceilings that reach heights of up to 4.4m and full floor to ceiling windows to match, the interior proportions of the residences reflect the Edwardian architecture that has been adapted for modern living. The residences feature interiors created by design studio 1508 London with bespoke handcrafted kitchens from British brand Smallbone of Devizes, Waterworks brass ironmongery and Onyx marble. Many incorporate original heritage features such as oak panelling and mosaic flooring. The unwavering attention to detail in each residence demonstrates the years of craftmanship that have been applied to every aspect of the majestic building.
