Project recommendation

From Raffles OWO Residences, residents can walk to London’s most popular attractions including Buckingham Palace, the Palace of Westminster, Tate Gallery, and the Royal Academy. For centuries, St James’s and neighbouring Mayfair have been elite gathering places, home to distinguished galleries, auction houses, private clubs, fine dining, and luxury boutiques.

The historic Grade II listed “Old War Office” has been reimagined as a new milestone of London living. The first 85 residences have been unveiled, alongside the new Raffles London at The OWO, destined to be a landmark in its own right.

Each residence is truly unique, with soaring ceilings, oversized windows, spacious entrances, and intricate details such as mosaic flooring and decorative cornices. Inspired by Edwardian architecture, the interiors blend classical elegance with modern simplicity. Some residences span multiple floors, connected by sweeping spiral staircases.

Amenities include a stylish swimming pool with private zones, a grand entrance hall fusing historical ornamentation with contemporary lighting and sculpture, and carefully curated materials echoing the building’s heritage.

Residences range from studios to five-bedroom apartments, with two exclusive tower penthouses.
