Berkeley Square is one of London’s most prestigious addresses, the jewel in Mayfair’s crown. Dating from 1906, this imposing building is the fine work of the architect Frank Verity. The original façade, with its Louis VI-inflected styling, conceals a superbly reimagined, modern office space of the highest quality. Whilst the building’s heritage has been carefully conserved, the interior space has been optimised for 21st century business with an equally contemporary aesthetic. This sensitive enhancement of the interior plan on all floors has resulted in an exemplary BREEAM rating, awarded for its optimal energy efficiency and sustainability.

London’s Mayfair is rightfully recognised as one of the world’s prominent business addresses. It enjoys excellent transport links within London and beyond: Heathrow and City airports are within easy reach through proximity to numerous Underground and bus stations. Furthermore, increased accessibility to the financial districts of Canary Wharf and the City is future-proofed by the opening of the Elizabeth line at Bond Street station. As befits such a distinguished location, the area is home to a wealth of Michelin-starred restaurants, luxury hotels and members’ clubs, in addition to deluxe retail establishments, auction houses, museums and galleries featuring unparalleled fine and decorative arts.
